一篇英语阅读!
Many people believe that the number 13 is not a luck number.This is why many hotels do not have 13th floor.The floors go from 12 to 14,and there is no number 13.Some people will never sit at a table with twelve other people.They will tell someone to go or ask another person to sit with them at their table.
No one really knows why people in so many countries 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 higher than this.
Some Christians say that 13 is not lucky because there were 13 people at a meal the day before Jesus was killed.One of the men who came to the last supper was a betray.In a story about the old Greek gods,12 gods were asked to a meal but one more came,who was at the meal,was killed.

1.There is often no floor number 13 in
答案:C.hotels
floor 指楼层,选项中只有 hotels 才有 floor.
2.One way people can count is by using their __________________.
答案:A.fingers
用手指数数,文章中说12进位是由用十个手指加两只手计数而起源的.
3.The god called Balder was ___________________.
答案:B.beautiful
阅读文章中没有提到 Balder,可能是丢掉了部分段落.这是一个基督教的典故,指的是Balder是北欧的主神Odin与其妻Frigga最喜爱的儿子,他是光辉美丽的光明,春天与喜悦之神,全身发出比白雪还耀目的光辉,金发比阳光还美,双眸比天空还明澈清亮,因此人们把世上最美最白的花朵,称为「Balder的额头」.
4.The Christian story and Greek story both talk about
答案:B.the number 13
本篇文章的主题是关于 13 这个数字的,最后一段讲了两个出处,一是 Christians say that 13 is not lucky ,另一处是 In a story about the old Greek gods,12 gods were asked to a meal but one more came,因此 the number 13 是两种故事里都有的.
5.In this story,how many gods were asked to have a meal?
答案:A.12
应该指出这个题目不准确,在基督教的故事里被邀请的人有13个,其中一个(犹大)是叛徒,而在希腊故事里只邀请了12个人,但是来了一个没有受到邀请的人.
