If you like to visit historical sites, which of the following is your best choice?
There are over one million superstitions(迷信), and most people believe at least one or two of them．Many people are superstitious about numbers．They think that there are lucky numbers and unlucky numbers．The number 13 is often considered unlucky．In some parts of the world, buildings have no 13th floor and streets have no houses with the number 13．In Japan, “4” is considered unlucky because in Japanese the word “four” is pronounced the same as the word “death”．The Japanese never give gifts of four knives, four napkins, or four of anything．
What are the lucky numbers?Seven is a lucky number in many places, and “8” is considered a lucky number in Japan and China．In China, businesses often open on August 8, and many couples register to get married at eight past eight on August 8．Superstitions about numbers are so widespread that some people－called numerologists－make a living by giving advice about numbers．In 1937, when the Toyoda family of Japan wanted to form a car company, they asked a numerologist if “Toyoda” would be a good name for the company．The numerologist said it would not be．He explained that “Toyota” would be a better name for the company．The family took his advice．As a result, millions of people drive “Toyotas” and not “Toyodas”．
There are many other kinds of superstitions．There are superstitions about eating, sleeping, sneezing and itching．There are superstitions about animals and holidays and horseshoes．There are even superstitions about superstitions．Those superstitions tell people how to reverse bad luck．When the Japanese bump heads, they immediately bump heads again．According to a Japanese superstition, the first bump means their parents will die, but the second bump “erases” the first bump．To reverse bad luck in general, people turn around three times, turn their pockets inside out, or put their hats on backwards．

Geneva is situated between the Jura Range and the Alps on the western end of Lake Geneva．Capital of Peace is one of its names－the European headquarters of the United Nations lies here in Palais des Nations．Another worthy name for this city with a humanitarian tradition(人道主义传统)and international character is the World’s Smallest Metropolis．Parks, splendid stores and lively streets in the old part of town and its 2000－year history wait to be discovered．
The Jet d’Eau together with the Flower Watch are the main attractions every year for the tourists visiting Geneva．The Jet d’Eau has become the symbol of Geneva for a long time．This is a 140 meters high water monument with a rich history．Eight 13,500－watt projectors light the grand column(圆柱)of the fountain in the evening, from early March until the second Sunday of October．The Flower Watch, which was created at the edge of the English Garden in 1955, reminds us about that Geneva is the birthplace of the Swiss clock and watch making, and that this industry has become internationally famous, as well through the quality of the watches as through their beautiful appearance．

Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know if you think you are a brave person or a coward(胆小鬼)．But you will never really know the answer to that question until you are tested in real life．Some people think they are brave, but when they come face to face with real danger, they act like cowards．Other people think of themselves as cowardly, but when they meet danger, they act like heroes．
Lenny Sputnik had always thought of himself as a nervous person．He got worried before examinations．He worried about his job and his health．All he wanted in life was to be safe and healthy．Then, on 15th January 1982, a plane crashed into the Potomac River in Washington．Lenny went to the river to see what was happening．Then he saw a woman in the ice-cold water．Suddenly Lenny did not feel afraid．He kept very calm and did a very courageous thing．He jumped into the Potomac, swam to the woman, and kept her head above the water．Seventy-eight people died that day．Thanks to Lenny Sputnik, it was not seventy-nine．
When you are in a very dangerous situation and feel afraid, the body automatically produces a chemical in the blood．This chemical is called adrenalin．With adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and are ready to fight or run away．However, when you are completely terrified, the body can produce too much adrenalin．When this happens, the muscles become very hard and you find that you cannot move at all．You are then disabled with fear．That is why, when we are very frightened, we sometimes say that we are ‘petrified’．This word comes from the Greek word ‘peters’ which means ‘stone’．We are so frightened we have become like stone．
