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.”
