Ben Jones was walking home from school one day when he saw a black cat. It was walking across the street in front of him. Ben stopped, turned around, and walked down a different street to go home. Why did he do that?
“It’s unlucky when a black cat crosses the street in front of you,” says Ben, “I did not want to walk down that street!”
Many people think that some things bring bad luck or good luck. For example, some people think that 13 is an unlucky number. They never invite 13 people to a party.
“I never walk under a ladder(梯子),” says Ben. “And I never open an umbrella inside the house. They both bring bad luck.”
And what brings good luck? “We have a horseshoe over the front door of our house for good luck,” says Ben.
“And when I find a penny on the ground, I always pick it up. That brings me good luck all day!”
小題1:Why did Ben turn around when he saw the black cat crossing the street?
A. Because he thought it was unlucky.   
B. Because he disliked a black cat.
C. Because he was afraid of the cat.
小題2:In western countries, which number do some people think is unlucky?
A. 4       B. 10       C. 13
小題3:Which of the following things can bring people good luck?
A. Opening an umbrella inside the house.     
B.  Walking under a ladder.
C. Picking up a penny on the ground.

A. Over the front door.  
B. Inside the house.

The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but ears do not change their shapes. They only change in size.
Reading people’s character from their ears is a very old science. In the past people thought that a person’s ears with color was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed if a person was musical or not. Today，too many people believe that the size and shape of the ears help you know if a person is musical.
Ears are all different，and each different thing has a meaning. Next time you look at a person，see if his or her ears are large，medium-size，or small. Look at the lobes（耳垂）.Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry easily. Ears that are always cold and nearly white color mean that a person has a nervous character.
