The Dates of Some Holidays B Many people hope lucky numbers will bring them good luck. In Chinese culture， some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky according to the Chinese characters that the number sounds similar to. For example， the number 8 sounds similar to the Chinese character for “making a fortune(发财)”. So people think it's a lucky number. Some even spend a lot of money having the number 8 in their phone numbers or vehicle license plate numbers. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics Games began at 8：08 p. m. on 8 August,2008. The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors(皇帝) of ancient China. There were nine dragons on the emperors' robes(袍). It's said that the dragon has nine children. The number 9 also stands for “long lasting”. That's why a man always gives a woman 99 or 999 roses. Then what's the unlucky number in China？ It might be the number 4. Many Chinese people take 4 as an unlucky number because it sounds similar to the Chinese character for “death”. Because of this， some buildings skip the fourth floor， and people simply call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong， some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4，such as 4， 14,24,34，and all 40—49 floors. However， in many Western countries， some buildings skip the 13th floor because 13 is considered as an unlucky number. ( )5. In China， for which character does the number 8 sound similar to？ A. Having more money. B. Keeping healthy. C. Making a fortune. D. Getting more chances. ( )6. Why does a man always give a woman 99 or 999 roses？ A. Because he wants the woman to have a long life. B. Because he hopes they will live to 100 years old. C. Because he hopes their relation will last a long time. D. Because most women like the number 99 or 999. ( )7. In China，what is the fourth floor of some buildings called？ A. The fifth floor. B. The fourth floor A. C. The fifth floor A. D. The fifth floor B. ( )8. Which is the unlucky number in Western countries according to the passage？ A. 4.　　 B. 24.　　 C. 7.　 　 D. 13. ( )9.What can we learn from the text？ A. Chinese people don't build the fourth floor because it's unlucky. B. Westerners skip the 13th floor because the number sounds similar to the word for “death”. C. Men always give women 99 roses because they want to have nine children. D.
