  参考文章:
  ①When asked about lucky numbers, different people will offer different opinions. Some people think that ② lucky numbers can bring good luck. They hold this view because ③they believe lucky numbers will help them fulfill their wishes - to be rich or successful.
  ④However, there are still many people who won't agree. They argue that ⑤ such kind of idea is only ignorant and superstitious belief. Besides, ⑥they think numbers are just numbers and each number is equal in its importance.
  ⑦Personally, I am on the side of the latter argument. For one thing, ⑧ numbers, including lucky numbers, are just a tool for counting, They don't have magic power. For another, ⑨whether we will have good luck or not depends on ourselves instead of lucky numbers, If we work hard and make good preparations, good luck will come to us.
  ⑩Therefore, lucky numbers don't bring good luck. It is our hard work and good preparations that bring us good luck.
