　　For most people, Friday, which happens to be the 13th, means little more than the start of a weekend.However, to million people worldwide who suffer from paraskevidekatriaphobia (周五 13 恐惧症), the combination of the day and number brings bad luck.While no one knows for sure how it began, there are many theories.

　　Experts think it starts with the fear of the number 13.The number 13 suffers from its position after 12, which is regarded as a complete number.After all, there are 12 months in a year, 12 gods of Olympus, and so on.This has caused the belief that 13 is incomplete and, therefore, unlucky.

　　The number's bad name is worsened by the fact that several unfortunate incidents are linked with 13.One example is NASA's Apollo 13 mission (任务)．The seventh manned mission in the Apollo space program, launched (发射) at 13：13, never landed on moon.For some people, the mission failed because of the number 13.

If you are among those who can "Shake It Off"， you are in great company.Taylor
