  Do you have a lucky number? What is it? Many people have a special number that they hope will bring them good luck.

  In Chinese culture, some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky based on the Chinese word that the number sounds similar to.

  For example, the word for the number 8 sounds similar to the word for “making a fortune”.So, people consider it a very lucky number.Some people will even spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone numbers or vehicle license plate(車牌照)numbers.The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 pm 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(龍袍)and Chinese myth held that the dragon has nine children.The number 9 also stands for “l(fā)ong lasting”.That's why a man always proposes to a woman with 99 or 999 roses.?

  So what's a “bad luck” number in China? It might be 4.Many Chinese people see 4 as a “bad luck” number because it sounds similar to the character for “death”.

  Because of this, many buildings skip the fourth floor, and 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.Some buildings also skip the 13th floor, as this is considered an unlucky number in the West.As a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 35 physical floors.

they went out for dinner. They ate pizza and drank Coke. The next few days, they had breakfast in a
coffee shop and ate hamburgers in a fast food restaurant.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,判斷句子的正誤.正確的在括號(hào)內(nèi)寫“T”,錯(cuò)誤的寫“F”。
     If you go into the forests with friends, stay with them. If you don't,you may get lost. If you do get lost,
this is what you should do.
     Sit down and stay where you are. Don't try to find your friends. Let them find you. You can help them to
find you by staying in one place.
     There is another way to help your friends or other people to find you. Give them a signal (信號(hào)) by
shouting or whistling (吹口哨) three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given
three times is a call for help.
     Keep on shouting or whistling, always three times together. When people hear you, they will give two
shouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help. If you don't think that
you will get help before night comes, try to make a small room with branches (樹枝).
     What should you do if you get hungry or need to drink water? You would have to leave your little branch
room to look for something to eat and drink. Don't just walk away. Drop small branches as you walk so that
you can find your way back.
     The most important thing to do when you are lost-stay in one place.
(     )1. If you get lost in the forests, you should walk everywhere to find your friends as soon as possible.
(     )2. You can keep on shouting or whistling always three times together for help.
