Superstition(迷信) has existed for such a long time. Hundreds of years ago it was more a-live because of humans' limited knowledge. Who was the first to walk under a ladder and suffer the bad result? Who hung a horseshoe the wrong way up or broke a mirror and then their luck ran out?

Superstition, somehow, has been with us as a tradition. Human beings have tried hard to find explanations for it.

Friday the 13th is an unlucky day in much of Western Europe, North America, and Aus?tralia. Many people avoid travel and avoid signing contracts on Friday the 13th. Floors in tall buildings often skip from 12 to 14. Such belief has deep roots in Christian religion.

Some people claim that the number is bad luck because thirteen people sat down for the Last Supper before Jesus was put to death，and with this in mind few hosts will serve dinner with thirteen at the table.

In the Norse mythology(挪威神话) twelve Gods gathered for a feast when a thirteenth, Loke,entered. Loke then,after the meal,killed Balder,who was the most beloved of the gods. Have you ever placed your shoes on the table or on top of your bed? Of course you haven't? they might be dirty. But there is also another reason for not doing it―it means bad luck.

There has been a strange tradition in the West of throwing an old shoe after a person when he or she leaves his or her home. Believe it or not,this is a way of wishing them luck.

In the past this was also a common thing to do when a new couple left their homes to get married. Then,when they were just married, one could wish them good luck by tying an old boot to the back of their car.

Is the number 13 really unlucky, or is it just a myth? There are a handful of athletes who dare to wear the infamous(名声坏的) number. NBA super star Steve Nash wears the number 13 both in Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns.

It is said that superstition has been a part of sports since the beginning. Players have their ways of avoiding bad luck.

Extreme sports and the movie Lord of the Rings are the two things that come to mind when one talks abutNew Zealandtoday. But for wine lovers across the world, New Zealand has a completely different meaning.

It's a long narrow country，but its vineyards(葡萄园) are mostly around three regions，Gis- borne,Hawkes Bay and Marlborough.

It was not until the 1980s that New Zealand wines drew the attention of the world with what is now a fashionable classic wine: Cloudy Bay. It was snapped up as it appeared on wine menus in Hong Kong restaurants during the early 1990s. This success was followed by the growing popularity of a wide range of wines from other New Zealand estates(庄园) such as Esk Vally， Villa Maria and Grove Mill. Since then,several other wine growing regions in other countries have tried to copy theNew Zealandstyle without much success.

The New Zealanders were good at white wines right from their early days，but their red wines, too,were catching the fancy of the drinking public. One example of just how fast and sure that happened is Goldwater Estate in Waiheke Island. The little island, which is just a 35-minute ferry ride from Auckland, had only 13 wineries ten years ago. Kim and Jeanette Gold-water set it up as the Goldwater holiday home,with wine making as a hobby, in 1982. But de?mand soon made them turn that hobby into a business.

Encouraged by family and friends，they decided to take their wine production a step further and entered the commercial market. In 1991 ，they took their wines to the International Wine Competition in New York and won a Gold Medal.
