Question

Last week Lu visited England. He stayed with my grandmother. He said it was a strange visit. “I don’t understand, but I1your grandmother a lot. When I arrived, I gave her a2from Suzhou. She looked in it and asked me to take it back. Then I saw a red spider(蜘蛛) on the table so I killed it for her and she seemed very3. Do English people like spiders?”
“Later we went shopping. Someone was painting a shop4, so there was a ladder. Grandmother5me walking under it and said I must walk around it. I liked the shops and bought a smart6for my father and some new shoes for myself. When we got back, I put the shoes on the table and opened the umbrella to wonder7it was all right. Your grandmother came in and8!”
“Then I broke a small9in the bathroom. Your grandmother’s face went white. I felt very sorry. When I left I gave10grandmother some flowers. She counted and there were 13. She11it. I think she was happy I was going.”
I12to Lu, “My grandmother follows the old customs(习俗). You must not give someone an empty purse13they will have no money. You must not kill a “money spider” or the same will happen. It is very unlucky to walk under a ladder and to put new shoes on the table. A(n)14umbrella in a house means someone will die. Breaking a mirror brings seven years’ bad luck, and 13 is15a very unlucky number. You were really making my grandmother very afraid. ”
