If someone asks you about India or Asia's great achievements,you may say,Mango!Yes,the mango (芒 果) . Today we all know that the mango is rich in vitamin (維生素) A.C andD.
How did the mango get its name? It5s an interesting story. The name mango comes from Tamil. From man-kay or man-gay,then it changed to manga. The people who gave it the name manga or mango were the Portuguese (葡萄牙人) . They first came to India,across the sea,about 500 years ago. As they started living in parts of India,they discovered the mango. They seemed to want more of it so they started experimenting with new kinds of mangoes—the famous Alphonso or Mulgoa that we like best today is the result of their hard work.
Mango is a kind of fruit which has been enjoyed for 3,000 years. Imagine,while Indians have been talking excitedly about the fruit for 3,000 years,the western world has had it for only 300 years!But how do we know that Indians have enjoyed the mango for 3,000 years? Simple,they were excited enough to write about its good qualities in books.
Down the ages,the mango has got some new qualities. It is seen as a symbol (象征) of good luck and in many parts of west and south India,mango leaves are put up at the front door. It is a belief (看法) that the mango tree is able to make wishes come true.

It was a cold,windy night with a bright full moon in the sky. I was standing at a lonely bus stop waiting for my ride home. I heard a bus coming,so I turned to look. I saw the numbers 666 on the bus. For western people,the number 666 is evil (邪惡) ！
I was too frightened to get on. I stopped a passing taxi,jumped in and left there.
A number of years ago I took a Chinese class but things quickly turned sour when the teacher asked me what my favorite number was. “Four ,” I answered. The teacher's face went pale. “No,no no!You. .. you evil!” she screamed. I didn't want to cause trouble. “4” really has been a favorite number of mine since I was a little American boy. Of course,I lost that teacher. But the experience gave me a new favorite number “8” which I proudly declare safe in the knowledge that my Chinese friends will praise (稱贊) my choice.
In Chinese,there are numbers for making a lot of money “888” and those for of a long life “99”. But there also is a number for death “4”. That is why you should never give your Chinese friends four of anything. That is also why every Wang,Liu and Zhang wanted to get married on August 8 ,2008. Please remember 13 and Friday mean bad luck for western people,but 9 means good luck.
