BThe Roman poet Virgil says, “The god delights in an odd number.” In Shakespeares play, Falstaff says, “There is magic in odd numbers, either in birth, chance, or death.”Pythagoras calls three the perfect number, since everything has three partsbeginning, middle and end. In the Bible, the baby Jesus was visited by the three magi. When things are difficult, people always think they will be successful the third time. Seven is used frequently in the Bible as completeness. God created the world in six days, and had a rest on the seventh, meaning his job had been done. In this way he set the seven-day week. As for nine, there were nine muses, nine rivers of hell and nine classes of angels. In English idioms, nine is used to mean “a large number of”. For example, a cat can survive where other animals hardly can, so people often say, .However, number thirteen is not as lucky as others. According to the story of “The last supper”: Judas, the person who betrayed（背叛）Jesus, sat in the No.13 chair, therefore, Number thirteen is considered to be unlucky. No doors number is thirteen; no hotel has the No.13 Room; they dont allow 13 people have dinner together. Therefore, thirteen became a taboo word in western countries.No doubt the odd numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 play a far more important part than the even numbers in western countries, whether lucky or not. It is really hard to imagine a Chinese who has a poor knowledge of numbers can communicate with the natives well.19. Why does Pythagoras call three the perfect number?A. Because the world was under the rule of three gods.B. Because people will be successful after three times.C. Because the baby Jesus was visited by the three magi.D. Because everything is supposed to have three parts.20. Which proverb can be filled in the blank of Paragraph 2?A. Cats hide their claws.B. A gloved cat catches no mice.C. A cat has nine lives.D.
