Do you like the number 13? In the past, a lot of tall buildings didn't have the 13th floor. There are also superstitions (迷信) about some numbers in China.

For example, the number "4" is said to be unlucky because it sounds like the Chinese word for "death". But that's just one example about numbers in China.

When I first came here, I was surprised to see that many websites had numbers in their names instead of letters. I soon found that this is actually convenient, as Chinese characters (汉字) cannot be used for website addresses.

In pinyin, the telecom company China Unicom is called Zhongguo Liantong. If the company used their pinyin name for their website address, it would be quite long.

In addition, the pronunciations of some numbers sound similar to other words in Chinese. This is wordplay (双关语). For example, the numbers "520" in Chinese sound similar to the pronunciation of the Chinese phrase "I love you".

A. They can only use numbers or letters instead.

B. In western countries, some people think the number 13 brings bad luck.

C. So instead, they used the hotline number-10010.com. This is easier to type and remember.

D. Many couples choose to get married on May 20th for this reason.

The word "encyclopaedia" comes from ancient Greek words meaning "all-round education". At first, it described a complete system of learning. A German writer, Paul Scalich, was the first to use "encyclopaedia" as the actual title for a book in 1559. Before that, these books often had creative names or were simply called "dictionaries". Denis Diderot later made "encyclopaedia" more popular with his well-known French "Encyclopédie".

The meaning of "encyclopaedia" has changed greatly. Today, people usually think of a large set of books. These books often include maps, pictures, and anindex to help find information. They cover many various topics, including biographies of important people, both in the past and at present. Many experts write these articles, and skilled editors carefully put them together.

However, encyclopaedias weren't always exactly like this. In the past, some were just a single book written by one person, while others were indeed huge sets. They didn't always have illustrations or information about living people. Arranging topics alphabetically or using languages other than Latin took many years to become very common.

Encyclopaedias can cover all knowledge or focus on specific broad areas, like history or science. They are important because they record what people knew at different specific times. Even old encyclopaedias are valuable because they contain writings from many great thinkers and leaders, showing how our understanding of the world has greatly grown.
