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(發(fā)財)”. 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 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 (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(向---求婚)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(跨過) 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 many Christian countries. As a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 35 physical floors.
1.What makes Chinese people believe a number is lucky or unlucky?
A. the shape of the number
B. the sound of the number in Chinese
C. the history of the numbers
D. the sound of the number in English
2.Chinese people regard the number 9 as______?
A. becoming beautiful B. living a long life
C. making a fortune D. living a happy life
3.From the passage, we know that_______.
A. Many Chinese people don’t like the number 4.
B. all people have the same lucky number
C. the number 9 is lucky because it means “wealth”
D. the number 8 is a lucky number for foreigners
4.What does this passage mainly talk about?

A. Remembering the reader B. Writing the first sentence C Reading and rewriting D. Thinking on paper |
Sooner or later everyone has to write something like a thank-you note, a report at a meeting , a complaint or an apology.If you hate writing assignments in school, or if you still fear to put pen to paper, facing that empty page is almost as frightening as you’re facing a tiger.How to write it? There’s no mystery.Clear writing is just clear thinking.Here are some techniques for you.
1.
Sit down with a pencil and paper or at the computer screen and start thinking about what you want to say, why it’s important, why it matters, and what its impact is on the reader.Just get the ideas down.The next step is to go back and put them in order.
2.
Try to make your first sentence catch the reader’s eyes, because if it can’t, the reader isn’t going to read on.Get a good, clear lead sentence that summarizes your points and that answers the reader’s question “What’s in it for me?” If you can’t do it in one sentence, then do it in two or three but keep them short.
3.
Short, simple words are better than long words.Short sentences are better than long sentences.Remember that the goal is to communicate, not to express yourselves.Most people are so devoted to what they want to say that they forget somebody else has to be able to read it.Too much information makes you lose readers before they understand what you want to say.
4.
Read what you have written out aloud, and listen for any awkward sentences.All good writers read, then rewrite.Back off a little bit from what you’re writing.It’s an old standard, but if you can, write something and come back a day later.
5.How do you write a good article? Please write down one of your suggestions.(不少于5個單詞)

閱讀下面四篇材料,然后從A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。
There was a young man named Bill in England. Before leaving school, he began to look for a job as a clerk. Few companies needed new clerks due to the financial crisis(金融危機)at that time. It became harder and harder to find a job. Luckily, a chance camp up to him. A company wanted to employ one person. He and the other twenty people joined in the first interview. After that, three persons were allowed to enter the final test which would decide one person to be employed in the end. Bill was lucky to be among them.
On the day of the second interview, Bill and the others arrived at the company on time. To their surprise, the interview was very easy. The interviewer only had a free talk with them, and then asked them to go back home waiting for the result. The next morning, Bill received a letter from the company which said he wasn't accepted. Certainly, he felt disappointed. On the evening of that day, Bill surprisingly received another letter, which said he was employed. But why was he accepted? As a matter of fact, the first letter sent to Bill was also part of the test. Every one of them got a letter which had the same meaning that morning.
