语法填空

    There is a common fear of the number 13. It's a number just like any other,  there are horror movies about it; some buildings  (intention) have no I3th floor; and plenty of couple avoid gating married on the13th of the month.

    What makes this number so scary? Historians have pointed a few potential  (reason) about the origin of this fear, the most popular of which is that there were 13 diners at the Last Supper. The 13th lo arrive was Judas,   betrayed Jesus.

    Actually, there are no problems with the number  (it). Maybe 13 is next to the number 12, and that makes it look bad. In many ancient cultures, 12  (consider) to be a perfect number. Most ancient civilizations based their systems of telling time around the number 12. There are 12 hours on a clock, and 12 months in a year. Twelve is also  largest number that also has one syllable (音节) in English. As the number immediately following this “perfect” one, 13 seemed imperfect, (inspire) unease throughout the ancient world.

    So far, both myth and math  (combine) to make this particular number scarier than any other. The uneasiness about the number,  (dale) hark to ancient times, has been developed over the years.
