Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words(在短文的空格内填入合适的词,使内容通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给)
Numbers in different countries may have different meanings. In China, some people think that some numbers bring them good luck. T1.“8” for example. The Chinese pronunciation(发音) of the number"8" has almost the same sound as that of the Chinese character “发”,which means making a fortune(财运). So many Chinese people s2.a lot of money in order to get their telephone numbers or car numbers to include this number"8". They believe without any doubt(怀疑) that the number will bring them money.
However, others don't believe that numbers have anything to do with good luck. They think such a(n) i3.is only an ignorant(愚昧的)and superstitious belief. A number is one thing,and good luck is another. They will ask, " How can you ever have any good luck simply because of some lucky numbers, even if you don't work h 4.,don't have good opportunities and don't get along well with the people around you?"
As for me, I a 5.with the latter. Clearly, lucky numbers are only a kind of superstition. Perhaps they hold true for some cases, but often they do not. Numbers can n 6.bring good luck to a person at all and our fortune is in our own hands. So, everyone can have a good fortune only if he tries his best. Let’s always r7.“Opportunities are only for the prepared mind” and “No pains, no gains.”

Chinese Fancy Knots
Chinese Fancy Knot
Chinese fancy knots, also called Chinese knots, refer to the traditional decorative knots in Chinese culture. They began as a form of traditional art in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China, and became popular in the Ming Dynasty. Long ago, they found their way to Japan and other Southeast Asian countries, and were well received there. Now they are taken as one of the most classic symbols (标志) of Chinese culture.
As for the name itself, it is surely meaningful. The Chinese word for “knot”, jie, means “connection”. It is related to lots of cultural ideas – marriage, brotherhood, reunion, etc. Meanwhile, the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji, “good luck”. As a result, Chinese knots perfectly serve as a way to express people’s strong wishes for good things like joy, love and good luck.
Besides, the knots, widely existing in the everyday life of the Chinese culture, come in different sizes. Small ones are connected to jewellery (珠宝), clothes, gift-packages and furniture in order to attract people’s attention, while large ones are used to decorate a living room or study. Whether large or small, there are over a dozen basic knot patterns ( 图 案 ), named according to their shapes, usages or origins. For example, Double Coin Knots are called shuangqian Jie because they are in the shape of two ancient Chinese coins, meaning “good things come in pairs”. However, almost all the main styles of Chinese fancy knots are made up of two exactly similar parts, and the patterns on the front and the back sides are also similar in every detail.
In addition, Chinese knots are famous for their bright colours. Each of the Chinese knots is made of a single string of cotton, silk, gold or silver. But the colours of the strings are rich and have different traditional cultural meanings. Among the most commonly used base colours, red means good luck and happiness, green means health, and yellow, which was once known as a emperor’s colour, may means wealth and honour.
In brief, the famous Chinese fancy knots fully reflect (反映) the depth of Chinese culture. These brightly coloured knots of different patterns, with their endless chains of knots, mean that life on earth will continue forever.
