Bill is a top student and a clever boy. He is good at all subjects at school. He especially likes to study arithmetic (算术), and he can easily solve all the arithmetic problems he meets. When he comes across difficult arithmetic problems, he won’t ask teachers or his parents for help. Instead, he will think about the problems on his own and tries his best to find out the solutions.

One day, Bill passed by a fruit store on his way to school. There was a sign on the window that said, “Apples: Six for 5 cents (分).” Bill thought for a while and suddenly had an idea. Then he went into the store.

“How much are the apples?” he asked the store clerk.

“Six for 5 cents.”

“But I don’t want six apples.”

“How many apples do you want?”

“It is not a question of how many apples I want. It is a problem with the arithmetic.”

“What do you mean by a problem with the arithmetic?” the clerk asked.

“Well, if six apples are worth 5 cents, then five apples are worth 4 cents, four apples are worth 3 cents, three apples are worth 2 cents, and two apples are worth 1 cent, then one apple is worth nothing. I only want one apple, and if one apple is worth nothing then there is no need for me to pay you.”

Numbers always play an important role in Chinese culture. It is true that there are lucky and unlucky numbers. The Chinese like choosing lucky numbers for important occasions in their life such as buying houses, choosing telephone numbers, selecting a date of a wedding ceremony, and picking a number for their car.   1_

No. 8 has long been considered as the luckiest number in Chinese culture because of its pronunciation of “Ba”. It sounds similar to the word “Fa”, which means fortune and success. __2_

No. 6, which is pronounced as “Liu”, shows that people can do everything smoothly. _3_

Except for some single lucky number, there are also some Chinese lucky number combinations.

The pronunciation sounds like “a whole life” and “forever” in Chinese. __4__

There are also some lucky number combinations for Chinese New Year such as 366, 666, 888 and 1666. The elders like to put money in hongbao to show their best wishes to the younger generation. __5__
