Superstitions [a Read the passage below and then choose the correct answer according to the passage. & ‘A superstition is a belief that specific things or behaviours can affect A the future. For example, astrology is a kind of superstition: itis the belief that the positions of stars and planets can influence a person's life and pefsonality. Superstitions are considered irrational because they are not based on empirical science. They are different from religious beliefs, although the people of one religion often con- sider other people's religious beliefs to be superstitious. Superstitions are also distinet from magic because they are generally passive, while magic is generally active Because of the world's many cultures, superstitions are ofien different—or even completely opposite—in different places. For instance, in the US and many European countries, itis bad luck if a black cat crosses your path; in Britain and Japan, however, the same thing is good luck. eed Some superstitions are restricted to very local areas, like the Tampa, Florida belief that seeing an alligator causes athlete's foot. People usually learn their culture's superstitions as children. In fact, ‘some superstitions are taught for practical reasons: spilling milk, for instance, is often said to be bad luck, because this might prevent children from wasting such a precious item by spilling i.

In the West, some people will do almost anything to avoid walking under a ladder, because doing so is thought to bring bad luck. One explanation for this belief comes from medieval times. A ladder against a wall resembled the hangman's platform, and so walking under it might signal one’s own death. Another explanation says that the triangle of a ladder against a wall represented a sacred Christian symbol. . ‘A) Walking under the ladder, then, breaks the symbol, and can call up the Devil B) In the end, though, itis ridiculous to always try'to avoid walking under ladders ) Triangles are classed into six different types: equilateral, isosceles, scalene, right, obtuse, and acute D) Like all of the world’s religions, Christianity makes use of many symbols E) But the ladder might fall down onto a Person, and this could cause a bad injury According to some people, an umbrella should never be opened indoors.

A) Itis also believed that a single woman who drops an umbrella will never marry B) But some people always seem to have more bad luck than others C) Opening an umbrella outdoors, however, is often a very sensible thing todo 1) Many people throughout history have worshipped both sun and rain E) This superstition probably comes from the umbrella’s origins as a sunshade5, Because salt was once a very precious and expensive item, a lot of symbolism and superstition has been attached to it. Because of its use as a preservative, it became a symbol of life and the absence of decay. In Europe, however, this was not just considered a waste, but could also bring bad luck.

In tho United States, bad luck is Supposed to result when you step on a crack in the sidewalk, This belief is associated with a rhyme that children say while they are walking: “Step on a crack, break your mother's back.” In. order to avoid this unfortunate event, American children try not to step on sidewalk cracks. ...... For instance, during World War li, the rhyme was: “Step on a crack, break old Hitler's back,” and this encouraged children to step on cracks even more.
