。
……注：Some people believe that some number can bring them good luck. For example in China the number eight is believed to be a number that can bring people good example is the number six.There are people who believe that some numbers bring good luck, while others bring badluck. For instance, in China the number eight is thought to be lucky. Turning our attention to the West, we find that the number seven is considered lucky, but the number 13 is avoided like the plague.注：認(rèn)為：is thought、is consideredIn spite of all these claims, most people would agree that there is little evidence that numbers have any influence on our lives. In fact, they say, the reverse seems to be the case. ……In fact, they say, the reverse seems to be the case. For one thing, we might expect calculators to break down every time they note the number 13, and for another, although every week has seven days we know that not every week is lucky for us.Weighing the pros and cons of these arguments, I am inclined to agree with the latter point of view. It is obvious that there is no scientific basis for the belief that there is a connection between luck and numbers. All in all, it seems to me to be superstition.注：latter former；superstition 迷信；All in all, it seems to me to be a waste of time.第三節(jié)As a general rule, people like to help others, but there are occasions when you should say no to requests for favors. For instance, it is better to refuse when a child pesters you for sweet food and drinks or for too many toys. Another example is when a relative asks you to use your influence to get him or her a bank loan or a work promotion.注：pesters sb. for 纏著某人要……However, we cannot ignore the fact that many people are reluctant to say no. They feel that if they turn down a request from a relative or friend, they will cause illfeeling within the family or bee unpopular with their acquaintances. A notable case in point is when the boss asks them to do something which they feel is unreasonable.注：2004年1月 “Reduce waste on campus”
we cannot ignore the fact that many students are wasting food.
……Not throw them away, they revised the perservation date, and saled them again after several days. Another case in the point, a pair of shoes was made from goat. However, in order to sale at a high price, the salers would say they were made from cow which has good quality.1998年1月
