Not long ago I was invited to dinner by a girl called Jane. I had only met Jane twice, and she was 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 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（迷信）. Recently I came across a little group of worried people. They gathered round a man lying on his side 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, you should not go. If you break a mirror you will have seven years’ bad luck..
