Do people in different countries have the same idea of numbers？The unlucky number for Chinese people is
usually 4 because it sounds like 1 word"death".14 is2 than 4because of its sound too.On the contrary，9 is a3 number for Chinese.It means "long" and "long life".8 is as 4 as 18 for they sound like "rich" and "certain rich".
I 5 in Europe for a long time，and I find that in many western countries people don't like the number 13.6 took me years to look for the reason.Till one of my foreign friends told me that there7 13 people at the Last Supper with Jesus Christ and then he was killed.That's 8 it is an unlucky number.They try not 9 this number in many ways.For example，10 you go into a lift，you will not see the number 13 in it.Many people 11 believe Friday the thirteenth is a very unlucky day.It is usually 12 Friday in November.They are very careful 13 that day such as driving slowly.
It is interesting to know how people like or dislike14 numbers.However，we 15 take it seriously.As long as the number is useful，it is a good number.

It was a boring and dull afternoon．Olivia had to work on a project for school about invention with wheels．
She couldn't think of any ideas．
"What am I going to write，Eliza？"she asked her little sister．Eliza didn't answer．
"I'm going to go for a bicycle ride．That will help me think．"
Eliza followed her．
Go inside，Eliza．Tell Mom I'll be back soon．"
Eliza was an obedient four﹣year﹣old girl．She always listened to Olivia．
"Be a good girl，Eliza．"Olivia closed the gate and rode away．She didn't see the gate swing（摇摆） open behind her．
Olivia went riding fast down the hill from her house．It was exciting to move so quickly．She was slowing down to make a turn when she saw someone behind her．
"Eliza!You are following me the whole time!You didn't listen!And I must have forgotten to lock the gate!"
Then she saw that Eliza was crying and walking difficultly with a wounded knee．
"I fell down，"said Eliza．"My knee hurts!""Oh，no!You won't be able to get up that hill!"
Olivia knew it was foolish to leave her sister alone outside．What were they going to do？Olivia started to get scared，but she knew she must be brave and find a way to get home．Then she saw an old wooden carriage by the path．The carriage was so old that it was broken when she picked it up，but the four metal wheels and two axles （车轴） were still strong．Then she found an old straw mat （垫子） and some strong wire．She tied the mat between the two axles with the wire．Then she tied the new cart to the back of her bike seat．
"Come on，Eliza!Get on the cart．"
Olivia got on her bicycle and started to ride．It was hard to get up the hill，but she decided to get home．Finally，they arrived．
"We're home，"said Olivia．"And I have an idea for my wheel project．I'm going to write about my new invention﹣a little sister carrier!"
For all his life，my grandfather has lived in the Valley of Koi．A rushing river and the Eagle Mountain divide the valley into two．They keep the villagers safe from wolves．The soil is so rich that our crops seem to grow well by themselves，and even the precious （珍贵的） fire flowers can be found here．
Although life in the valley was good，my grandfather still worried about his people．The mountain and river kept danger out，but they also kept us far away from the world．"We must find a way to reach out to other villages，"Grandfather said，"to trade，exchange stories and make friends．If we do not，Koi will one day disappear．"
One day，grandfather saw a spider （蜘蛛） in his garden．He bent down to look more closely and saw it building a web between two grasses．Suddenly，Grandfather knew what the people of Koi must do．
Many villagers were skeptical ． "It comes easily to the spider，but it is so difficult for humans，"they didn't believe it possible．"We cannot fly through the air like a spider．And what would happen if strangers learned where the fire flowers grew？"
"If I were a fire flower，I would rather be picked from the earth and loved than left alone and unseen，"Grandfather said．Some of the villagers agreed．After that，the strongest men and women of Koi began to work．Finally，the bridge was finished!My grandfather was the first Koi villager ever to stand on the far bank of the river．When he reached the other side，a stranger came to greet him friendly with a precious ice flower as a gift to share with us．
Our village is still small and quiet，but we are no longer shut away from the world．Next spring，I'm going to walk through the mountain to enjoy the ice flowers，I would also like to meet more strangers from other places and share them fire flowers of Koi．

Dear students，here we are in Yuexiu ParkThe Five﹣Ram Statue，the symbol of the city，stands on the top of Yuexiu Mountain．The statue was made in 1959. It is 11 meters high．The biggest ram carries grains in his mouth and the other four rams are around him．They all look lively．
