When we talk about numbers, have you noticed we often think of three?
In some ways, "three" has magical power. If you watch life carefully, you'll find it everywhere: Everything has a beginning, middle and end. We eat three meals a day, and traffic lights use three colours—red, yellow and green.
But why is three so special? The human brain is hard to understand. Yet it likes looking for patterns. It tries to find order in unrelated info, and even makes patterns if there are none.
Three is the smallest number for a pattern. As the old saying goes, "Once is luck, twice is a coincidence(巧合), and three times is a pattern." Our brain can only remember a little info at a time. That's why people often remember just three things from a speech.
Use the "rule of three" in life to make things easier. For example, don't add too many tasks to your list—experts say pick three hard ones. When making New Year's resolutions, list only three too. The longer your list, the less likely you are to keep it!
(
A. Plans for the future.
B. Favourite numbers.
C. Daily tasks.
D. Speech topics.

A. Because three colours are the easiest to make.
B. Because the number three is common in our lives.

48. 推理判断题：第四段谚语“Once is luck, twice is a coincidence, and three times is a pattern.”，意为“一次是运气，两次是巧合，三次是模式”，对应B选项。A、C、D均与谚语含义不符，故选B。
