Many people have a special number that they hope will bring them good luck.\nIn Chinese culture, some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky based on the Chinese word that the number sounds similar to.\nFor example, the word for the number 8 sounds similar to the word for \"making a fortune \". So, people consider it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone numbers or vehicle license plate numbers. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 p.m. on August 8, 2008.\nThe number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors' robes and Chinese myth held that the dragon has nine children. The number 9 also stands for \"long lasting\". That's why a man always proposes to(---)a woman with 99 or 999 roses.\nSo what's a \"bad luck\" number in China? It might be 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as a \"bad luck\" number because it sounds similar to the character for \"death\".\nBecause of this, many buildings skip the fourth floor, and simply call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as, 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor, as this is considered an unlucky number in many Christian countries.

The Asian Development Bank(ADB) says that our largest cities produce 760 000 tons of solid waste every day. It predicts that there will be an increase--to 1.8 million tons--by 2025. It seems too much to deal with. \"The growing waste is simply trying to cover our cities,\" says Michael Lindfield, a specialist of ADB in Manila.\n _ The World Bank says some governments are spending as much as half of their budgets dealing with rubbish. And even so, it is common that half of all the waste goes uncollected.\nMuch of the added difficulty is packaging from consumer products and the products themselves--all of which need years, even centuries to decompose . Lindfield believes that four of every five products we buy are thrown away after a single use. It all makes the work to deal with solid waste much more expensive.\nThe rubbish is more than just an environmental problem--it also influences national economies by disturbing the world market, discouraging tourism and slowing down industrial development.\nLots of rubbish also influences the look of our cities. As he walks to work from his home in Bangkok every day, Chatchat Mutita, a 36-year-old advertising specialist, must pass a lot of ugly, smelly rubbish that isn't collected until late at night. He says things get worse when it rains because some yellow water will stream from the rubbish to the sidewalk.\nModern technology can make the problems of open dumps less serious. But Chettiyappan Visvanathan, a professor at the Asian Institute of Technology in Pathumthal, Thailand, believes that there are no engineered facilities in nine of every ten dumps all over the country. Some countries depend on most solid waste to produce energy, but there's a growing problem of air pollution. Burning is far more dangerous than open dumps. The ADB says the growing rubbish must be dealt with by the \"3Rs\" --reducing the waste, reusing things that are being thrown away and recycling materials.\n\n<question>:\nWhat's the main idea of the passage?\n\n<options>:\nA What our environment looks like.\nB How important to clean our cities.\nC What a serious problem we have.\nD How difficult to remove rubbish.\n\n<answer>:\n",
