| Not long ago I was invited out to dinner by a girl called Jane. I have met Jane only twice, and she was very beautiful. I was very pleased. "She loves me" I thought. "I am sorry at such short notice." She said when I arrived, "but we suddenly knew there were going to be thirteen people at the table,so we had to find someone else." Believing that the number 13 is unlucky is a typical of superstition. Recently I came across a little group of worried people.They gathered round a man lying on the pavement (人行道)beside a road in London. They were waiting for an ambulance, for the man had been knocked down by a passing taxi. He had stapped off the pavement and into the street in order not to walk under a ladder (梯子). To see a black cat in England is lucky. But if you see a black cat in India, it is considered very unlucky. There, if you are about to set out on a long journey, and someone sneezes, you should not go. If you break a mirror, you will have seven year's bad luck. Just superstition, of course. |

| One bright sunny day our class went to the schoolyard. Miss Brooks told us to look for something on the ground that belonged to us. We looked and looked. Finally Mike cried. "I know, It's my shadow on the ground." We saw that each girl and boy had a shadow and Miss Brooks had a bigger one. I tried some funny tricks. When I moved, my shadow moved. When I ran, my shadow ran, too. But I could' t catch it at all. Then Jess found a long and thin bamboo pole and stuch it in to the ground. Even the pole had a shadow. All this started me thinking about shadows. I did not have a shadow the day before, when I walked in the darkness. My shadow is never with me in my room at night when the light is out.

| Everybody talks about the weather; it's the most common subject of conversation, for example, "Isn't it a nice day?" "Do you think it will rain?" "I think it is going to snow," All this are the common ways of starting a conversation. Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But they hardly ever agree with each other. One man may say, "Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It is going to rain tomorrow." Another man will say, "Yes, it's cloudy in the east.We are going to have a fine day tomorrow." People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water,he looks for something to tell him it is going to rain; he won't believe anything else. When friends have a picnic, they are so sure the weather is going to clear up very quickly that they won't sit eating their lunch while it rains. Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says. But he does not always tell us what we want, and once in a while he makes a mistake.Still, he probably comes closer to being correct than anyone else. |
