In some parts of the world, there is no 13th floor in the buildings Wand streets have no houses with the number 13. In Japan, the number 4 is considered unlucky because in Japanese the word “four” is pronounced the same as the word “death”. Japanese never give gifts of four knives, or four of anything. What are the lucky numbers? Seven is a lucky number in many places, and 8 is considered lucky in Japan and China. In China，businesses open on August 8，and many couples register（登记）to get married at eight past eight on August 8 In 1937, when the Toyoda family of Japan wanted to form a car company, they asked a number expert if “Toyoda” would be a good name for the company. The expert said it would not be. He explained that “Toyoda” took ten strokes(笔划) of the pen to write, and 10 was not a lucky number. “Toyota”, however, took eight strokes to write, and eight was a very lucky number. The expert said “Toyota” was a better name for the company. The family took his advice. As a result, millions of people today drive “Toyotas” and not “Toyodas”. Though the story is funny, it reflects a countrys culture.56Which number is usually thought of unlucky?A13 B4C10 D757The number 4 is considered unlucky in Japan because_.Apeople dont like itBIt has too many strokesCit has the same pronunciation as deathDpeople never give gifts of four knives, or four of anything58The number 8 is lucky number in .AJapanBChinaCmany placesDJapan and China59Millions of people today drive “Toyotas” instead of “Toyodas” because_.AToyota is easier to write and read than Toyoda BToyota took less time to write than ToyodaCToyota took eight (a lucky number) strokes to write DToyoda took two more strokes to write than Toyota60What is the best title for this passage?ALucky numbers and unlucky numbers in the world BLucky numbers in China and JapanCUnlucky numbers in the world DThe reason why millions of people today drive “Toyotas” and not “Toyodas”ii补全对话（10分）（A）选择下列词汇完成对话。有一项是多余的。（5分）Acompetition Bactivities Chappy Dfair Eunhappy FgreatA: Hi, Jane, how is everything going?B: It couldnt be better.A: What makes you so 61 ?B: I have won the first prize in the speaking 62 in our English Month.A: Congratulations.
