Do you know the numbers 0-9 well?They are numbers in Arabic numerals.People use them to
mark numbers now.But it's not the only number system that people use.
About 2,500 years ago,people in Rome used their hands to count.In Roman numerals,two
fingers means 2,three fingers means 3,you can keep your four fingers close on one side and your thumb
on the other side.If you want to say five,you can keep your four fingers close on one side and your
带条
thumb on the other side.Make each of your hands be five,then you'll have ten.So in Rome,the
numbers are“L,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,V,V,I,I,Il,X,X”.Also,“L”means fifty,“D”means five
hundred and "M"means one thousand.But there is no zero in Rome numerals.Today,few people use
them because they are difficult to write and count.But we can still see them on some watches and clocks.
Today,most people use the Arabic numerals.They are easy to remember and write.They help
people to count things every day.In fact,Indians first created and used the Arabic numerals.In the
训挺
late 8th century,people in Arabic countries learned about them.Then the Arabic people took them into
Europe.So people in Europe called them Arabic numerals.Today,people around the world use Arabic
numerals and they help a lot.

Do you have a lucky number?What is it?Many people have a special number and they hope that it
will bring them good luck.In China,people think some numbers are lucky or unlucky because those
numbers sound similar to some Chinese words that mean (something good or bad.
For example,the word for number 8 sounds like "making lots of money"in Chinese.So,people
think it a very lucky number.Some people will even spend much more money to have 8s in their phone
numbers.Do you remember the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing?It opened at 8:08 p.m.on August
8,2008.
The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors (of China.
There were nine dragons on emperors'robes (and it's told in many Chinese ancient stories that the
dragon has nine children.The number of 9 also means "long lasting".In China,a man would send 99
or 999 roses to his lover with the wishes that the love between them will be long lasting.
What's more,Chinese think that the number 2 is lucky as it's said that "all good things come in
pairs”.For example,during wedding celebrations(婚礼庆典),you usually find pairs of red candles,
double pillows and many other things in pairs.And people often give gifts in pairs for someone's
birthday,wedding or other celebrations.
So what's an unlucky number in China?It might be 4.Many Chinese people see 4 as an unlucky
number because it sounds similar to the Chinese word "die".Because of this,many buildings don't have
the fourth floor,and just call it the fifth floor.In Hong Kong,some buildings even skip (all
…10
floors with the numbered 4,such as 4,14,24,34 and all 40 ~49 floors.So,a building whose
highest floor is 50 may have only 36 floors in fact.
()5.From the article,we can learn that some people would pay much more money for
A.the phone numbers with 8s
B.the Summer Olympic Games
C.the emperors'robes
D.the wedding celebrations
()6.Why would a man like to send 99 roses to his lover?
A.Because he thinks that women love roses the best.
B.Because the number 9 has a connection to the emperors of China.
C.Because he hopes that he will be in love with the woman for a long time.
D.Because he wishes that he will have lots of children with the woman in the future.
()7.What can we learn from the article?
A.The shape of a word makes Chinese think that a word is lucky or unlucky.
B.The Beijing Olympic Games opened at 8:00 p.m.on August 8,2008.
C.Chinese like to give gifts in pairs.
D.Roses mean long lasting in Chinese.
()8.What is the article about?
A.Numbers and old stories in China.
B.Lucky and unlucky numbers in Chinese culture.
C.Ways to find your lucky and unlucky numbers.
D.Different meanings of numbers in different countries.
C
There are 8 billion humans on Earth.The sun is 150 million kilometers away.The universe
宙)may have200 billion trillion(万亿)stas.…
As scientists explore (the world with more and more high-tech tools,the numbers that they
use are also becoming bigger.Recently,scientists added four new names for numbers:ronna (1027),
quetta (10),ronto (1027)and quecto (103).
Almost all human brains have a problem dealing with big numbers.In ancient times,early humans
had no need to develop such a skill.They only needed to understand small numbers,like the number of
people in the their family,or how many animals they had caught.So there's no need to tell the difference
between large and very large.
One way is to turn big numbers into something you know.For example,if imagining
400,000 people is too hard,you can think that a soccer playground usually can hold around 40,000
·11·
people.Then 400,000 people mean 10 soccer playgrounds of people.Or if you have 1,000 yuan,then
a millionaire(百万富翁)hasl,O00 times more money than you.
Although it is not necessary for us to understand larger numbers,we still can work out them and get
useful answers.
()g.What might one“quetta”refer to?
A.One followed by 30 zeros.
B.A decimal point(小数点)followed by26 zeros.
C.One followed by 27 zeros.
D.A decimal point followed by 29 zeros.
()10.How does the writer introduce very larger numbers to us in Para graph 1?
A.By telling about the Earth.
B.By showing some numbers.
C.By telling a story.
D.By asking a question.
()11.Which of the following sentences can be put in the?
A.However,how to tell the difference between them?
B.However,how to deal with the differences?
C.However,how big is a soccer playground?
D.However,there are some ways to help us better understand big numbers.
()12.What can we infer from the story?
A.There were no large numbers in ancient times.
B.Math is the best way for us to understand the world.
C.Working out large numbers can help us deal with them.
D.Human brains don't have a problem dealing with large numbers
D
Westerners don't like the number 13.Here are several reasons.
It is said that Jesus had a meal with his disciples (before he was killed.The 13th person
who attended the meal was Judas,a disciple of Jesus.He sold Jesus to the Jewish authorities (
for 30 silver dollars,and this brought Jesus a lot of suffering.13 people attended the final meal.The
date of the meal was just the 13th.The number 13 brought suffering and unluckiness to Jesus.Since
then,13 has been considered a symbol of unluckiness.
There is also a saying that came from the myth (of Northern Europe.12 gods attended the
Havra banquet.During the banquet,an uninvited guest,Luo Qi,the god of worry and noise,suddenly
came.The god Bolt was popular among other gods.The intrusion (of the 13th visitor led to
,12
Bolt's death.Therefore,13 has become the unluckiest number in the Western world.
Westerners try their best not to use the number 13.In Netherlands,it is difficult to find the 13th
house numbers.They replaced the 13th with "12A".You can't find the 13th rows and the 13th seats in
British theaters.In addition,if the 13th day of a month is Friday,this Friday will be called Black
Friday.
)13.What's the relationship between Jesus and Judas?
A.Father and son.
B.Friends.
C.Brothers.
D.Teacher and student.
()14.Who was the 13th person that attended the meal?
A.Bolt.
B.Da Vinci.
C.Luo Qi.
D.Judas.
()15.What do we know about Luo Qi from this passage?
A.He was the god of lucky and noise.
B.He was welcomed by other gods.
C.His intrusion led to Bolt's death.
D.He was a disciple of Jesus.
()16.Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?
A.Jesus was the 13th person to attend the Havra banquet.
B.Jesus had suffered a lot after he was sold by Judas.
C.In the UK,it is difficult to find the 13th house numbers.
D.Black Friday is the 13th day of a month.
