The floors go from 12 to 14, and there is no number 13. Some people will never sit at a table with 12 other people. They will tell someone to go or ask another person to sit with them. No one really knows why people do not like the number 13. Perhaps one reason is that when people began to count they used ten fingers and two hands. This made 12. They could not count more.Some Christians (基督徒) say that 13 is not lucky because there were 13 people at a meal the day before Jesus (耶稣) was killed (被杀). In a story about the old Greek (希腊的) gods, 12 gods were asked to a meal but one more came. This made 13. It is why the god Balder, who was at the meal, was killed.26 .

They said it is bad for teens health and their grades. More schools around the country are starting to listen. Some of those schools are in Seattle. They will start school at 8:45 in the morning.Last year, a big group of doctors which is made up of pediatricians (儿科医师) said starting later is a good idea. They said it can improve students lives in many ways. Teenagers often fall asleep later than their parents would like. Scientists say that if they start school later, they will get more sleep. They may also do better in school and feel better. “Were going to look back on this time period and wonder why it took so long,” said Phyllis Payne who works with a group called Start School Later.Some schools in St Paul cannot change start times because they do not have enough money. If they did, the city would have to provide more buses and drivers. This would cost millions of dollars. In Seattle, school leaders decided to let teenagers start school later. At first, they also said younger kids had to start earlier. Neither the parents of younger kids nor those of older kids like that school would start later. They were afraid this would get in the way of after-school activities. Seattle finally carried out a plan to start time later for teens. It happened because school leaders listened to what parents had to say. The final plan was more expensive but also more popular, said Cindy Jatul.In the city of Chicago, the school district tried to make start times later for teens. The plan failed because school leaders did not listen to parents. “It backfired (事与愿违) terribly,” Jatul said. Seattle was more successful because the city listened to parents.Bridget Shelton is a freshman at Seattles Roosevelt High School. She thinks the change in start times will help her get more sleep.
