Once, a very rich man bought a farm. He paid more than what was thought he should because there was a great tree growing on the farm, which was said to be about three hundred years old. The farmer who sold the farm told the buyer that the tree was so famous that every year many visitors and travelers came to see the tree. But many of the rich man’s men did not think so. The new owner of the farm was not pleased at what they said and called one of his men with the name Zeke to try to find out how old that “famous tree” really was.

Four days later, Zeke rushed into the new owner’s office and told him that the tree was even older than they thought. It was four hundred and twenty years old!

“Great! Good news!” said the owner, “but I’d like to know how you can tell that tree is so old.”

Not long ago I was invited out to dinner by a girl named Jane. I had only met Jane twice, and she was very, very beautiful. I was very pleased. “She likes me,” I thought. “I am so sorry we asked you at such short notice.” she said when I arrived, “but we suddenly realized there was 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 superstition（迷信）. Recently I came across a little group of worried people. They gathered round a man lying on the pavement beside a road in London. They were waiting for an ambulance because the man had been knocked down by a passing taxi. He had stepped off the pavement and into the street in order not to walk under a ladder. 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（打喷嚏）, you shouldn’t go. If you peak a mirror, you will have seven years’ bad luck. Just superstition, of course.
