This is to see what Chinese character the number sounds like. For example, the Chinese word for the number 8 sounds like the word for “making a fortune”. So, people think it is a very lucky number. Some people spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone numbers. The opening time of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 p.m. on August 8, 2008.The number 9 is also a lucky number. It is something to do with the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors robes(龙袍). Today, 9 often stands for “long lasting”. Thats why close friends always use 99 or 999 to describe their friendship.So whats a “bad luck” number in China? It might be 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as a “bad luck” number. Because it sounds like the Chinese character for “death”.Because of this, many buildings dont have the fourth floor, and just call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even dont have all floors numbered with 4, such as, 4、14、24、34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also dont have the 13th floor as 13 is an unlucky number in the West. Now a question for you: How many floors are actually there if a buildings highest floor is numbered 50?28 . What makes Chinese people believe a number is lucky or unlucky?AThe shape of the numberBThe sound of the number in ChineseCThe history of the numberDThe sound of the number in English29 .

The word itself means a bicycle built with saddles for two riders sitting one behind the other. However, when we learn a foreign language, we can find a native speakerwho wishes to learn our languages. So we both get a chance to practice. This is the tandem exchange.For example, Im a native English speaker but I want to learn Spanish. So I go to a tandem meeting. There I can find a native Spanish speaker who wants to improve his or her English. Then we become “tandem” partners. I speak English with my Spanish tandem partner for about an hour and help him or her with some English problems. After that, we speak Spanish for an hour, too. The idea of this language exchange is great because we can learn something about a language that we may not learn in class. This is the main reason why we can choose the tandem exchange as a way to learn a new language.In the tandem exchange, we can also read passages with our partner. This way we can not only practice our pronunciation but also understand the meaning of difficult words in other languages. We can then have conversations about the passages in order to practice our speaking and listening.So I advise you to_the tandem exchange. If theres no foreigner around you, online tandem exchange is also a good choice. Join in the tandem exchange and enjoy the opportunity of learning new languages and understanding the cultures of other countries!32 . Which of the following is a tandem bicycle?ABCD33 .

The underlined phrase “participate in” means “”.Atake inBmake upCtake part inDgive upMany people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. So airline offers passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about the food taste. Do you agree?To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they dont want to lose customers.However, according to scientific（科学的）research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude（海拔）we cannot taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also, scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces one third of the sensibility（感觉）of our taste buds（味蕾）. So our taste buds become senseless. The sad fact, however, is that our noses dont know it.All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy food. Without doing so, the food would be even tasteless.Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they cant deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.36 .
