   When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of "Good luck!" from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?

In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.

Have you heard the saying “when you wish upon a star”? If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn't happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you have been very lucky, and so if you make a wish, it will come true.

Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit's foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit's feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, "Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit!"

People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bring them a lucky month in the following year ,theywill need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole year of good luck!

If someone says to you, “give me five”, don't give five yuan to him! It will make others laugh! The person isn't asking for your money, but your fingers.
In the U.S.A, “give me five” or “give me the high five” is a good gesture(手势). You can see it often in films or on TV. It means the slapping (拍打)of each other's right hands together. People do it when something happy happens. For example, if a student does well in exams or gets No. 1 in his school sports meet, he will give high fives to his friends to celebrate.
Who did this gesture first? Why did he do that? It may come from the old Roman (古罗马的) gesture of raising(举起)the right arm for the emperor(皇帝). This showed that the person raising his arm had nothing in his hand and he couldn't hurt the emperor.
