Henry found a job in a bookstore after he finished middle school. He wouldn't do anything but wanted to get rich. It was a cold morning. It _______ （snow） and there was thin ice on the streets. Few people went to buy the books and the young man had nothing ______ （do）. He hated to read, so he watched the traffic. Suddenly he ______ （see） a bag fall off a truck and it landed by the other side of the street. “It _____ （be） full of expensive things.” Henry said to himself. “I have to get it right now, or others ______ （take） it away.” He went out of the shop and ran across the street. A driver saw him and began to whistle （鸣笛）， but he didn't hear it and went on ______ （run）. The man drove to the side, hit a big tree and ______ （hurt） in the accident. Two weeks later Henry was taken to court. A judge asked if he heard the whistle when he was running across the street. He said that something was wrong with his ears and he could hear nothing. “But you ______ （hear） me this time,” said the judge. “Oh, I'm sorry. Now I can hear with one ear.” “ ______ （cover） the ear with your hand and listen to me with your deaf one. Well, can you hear me?” “No, I can't, sir.” “You ______ （tell） lies. There is nothing wrong with either of your ears.” The judge said.
In some countries, the most common unlucky number is thirteen. People don’t like to live in a house that is number 13. People don’t like to have parties with thirteen people. People don’t like to do important things on the thirteenth of the month. Also, when you add the Japanese unlucky numbers together---nine and four ---they make thirteen.
There aren’t many business meetings on the thirteenth of the month especially when the thirteenth is on a Friday. Friday is always unlucky. Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden (伊甸园) on a Friday. Jesus Christ died on a Friday. There were thirteen people at his last supper. In Europe, they kill criminals(罪犯) on Fridays.
For some people, unlucky numbers do the opposite things. My elder brother was born on the thirteenth. He passed his exams on the thirteenth. He married on the thirteenth. He became a pilot on the thirteenth. It was always a lucky number for him.
