The most common unlucky number is thirteen．People don't like to live in a house that is numbered thirteen．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．
One English teacher told his students a story about unlucky“thirteen”．At the end of the lesson, one of the students changed the number of the room to 12A．In the afternoon, another teacher wanted to find Room 13．He didn't know about the changed number．He walked round the school for half an hour．At last, someone told him about the changed number．He knew that Room 12A was Room 13．
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(亚当和夏娃)left the Garden of Eden(伊甸园)on a Friday．Jesus Christ(耶稣)died on a Friday．There were thirteen people at his last supper．In Europe, they kill criminals(罪犯)on Friday．
For some people, unlucky numbers do the opposite things．My elder brother was born on the thirteenth．He passed his exams on a thirteenth．He married on a thirteenth．He became a pilot on a thirteenth．It was always a lucky day for him．
