March 14 is a great day for fans of maths. It is celebrated as Pi (π) Day, a day to celebrate the number that many people know very well. The date copies from the first three numbers of Pi (π). March is the third month and the 14th means one and four. Altogether it is 3.14. Pi (π) comes wherever there are circles (圆). Pi has been known for thousands of years and gets its name from a Greek letter, π. The Greeks are believed to be the earliest to use the letter in maths.

Some problems are difficult to solve in our life. However, there are a lot of number expressions (表达) that can help. Today, I will talk about expressions about numbers.
Sometimes we can "kill two birds with one stone". That is to say, we can complete two goals with only one effort or action. But we must remember that "two wrongs don't make a right". If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him.
When I was a young child in school, I liked learning Maths. My teacher used to "give me three cheers" when I did well in Maths, praising (赞扬) my hard work and good grades.
When I was in high school, some of my friends once had trouble doing their schoolwork. In fact, they did not care if they could finish high school. But it seemed that they really got a surprise when they completed their studies and graduated from high school. They were on cloud nine.
Nine times out of ten, students who do well in school often find good jobs. Some people work in an office doing the same things every day at nine-to-five jobs. However, it's good to know happiness at work isn't just about money.
(1)、What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A、The ways to find answers. B、Two problems are difficult to solve. C、The importance of working together.

Which expression can we use here?A、Put two and two together. B、Two heads are better than one. C、Kill two birds with one stone.

C、All problems can be solved easily with number expressions. D、The writer's favourite subject was Maths when he was young.(5)、What's the main purpose of the passage?A、To encourage us to study hard.

7、 阅读以下短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出一个与短文内容相符的最佳选项。
Do you have a lucky number? Many people have a special number and they hope that it will bring them good luck. In China, people think some numbers are lucky or unlucky because those numbers sound similar to some Chinese words with good or bad meanings.
For example, the word for number 8 sounds like "making lots of money" in Chinese. So, people think it is a very lucky number. Some people even spend much more money to have 8s in their phone numbers. Do you remember the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing? It opened at 8:00 p.m. on August 8, 2008
The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on the emperors' robes (龙袍) and it's told in many ancient Chinese stories that the dragon has nine children. The number 9 also means "long lasting". In China, a man would send 99 or 999 roses to his lover with the wishes that the love between them will be long-lasting.
What's more, the Chinese think that the number 2 is lucky as it's said that "all good things come in pairs". For example, during wedding celebrations, you usually find pairs of red candles, double pillows and many other things in pairs. And people often give gifts in pairs for someone's birthday, wedding or other celebrations.
So what's an unlucky number in China? It might be 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as an unlucky number because it sounds similar to the Chinese word "death". Because of this, many buildings skip the fourth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as 4, 14, 24 and 34. As a result, a building with 50 floors may have only 36 floors actually.
(1)、What makes Chinese people believe a number is lucky or unlucky?A、The shape of the number. B、The quantity of the number. C、The history of the number. D、The sound of the number in Chinese.(2)、Some people would pay much more money for ____.A、the Summer Olympic Games B、the phone numbers with 8s C、the emperors' robes D、the wedding celebrations(3)、Why would a man like to send 99 roses to his lover?A、Because he thinks that women love roses the best. B、Because the number 9 has a connection to the emperors of China. C、Because he hopes that he will be in love with the woman for a long time. D、Because he wishes that he will have lots of children with the woman in the future.(4)、In Hong Kong, you may NOT find the ____ floor in some buildings.A、50th B、35th C、46th D、17th(5)、What is the purpose of the passage?A、To describe numbers and ancient stories in China. B、To introduce lucky and unlucky numbers in Chinese culture. C、To help readers find their lucky and unlucky numbers. D、To compare different meanings of numbers in different countries. -
