On a Friday night, a poor young violinist was playing his violin at the entrance of the subway station. He played such great music that people slowed down to listen and put some money into his hat.

It said, "George Black has put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Welcome to claim(认领)it. Soon the people were all interested in the words and wondered what it could be.

What do you think of black cats?Are they unluckier than cats of other colors?Many people in Western countries think so.Scientists at the University of California,Berkeley(UC Berkeley),did a study on cat colors and people’s understandings of cat characters.

The study found that people do judge(判断)cat characters by color.Scientists did a survey on the Internet.There were 49 statements(描述)matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities.People think orange and bi-colored(双色的)cats are friendly,tri-colored(三色的)cats are not kind,and white cats are calm,lazy and shy.As for black cats,people think they don’t have special characters.

But why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets?People think black cats have less special characters,which might be because of their bad reputation(口碑).They think black cats may bring bad luck,especially at Halloween.Movies and television shows also make people believe that.

Although people have these ideas,UC Berkeley scientists give another reason:people don’t think black cats are pretty enough.After all,nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats.“You cant judge a cat by its color,because it’s the character of the cat,not the color,that will let you know if the cat is right for you,”Cathy Marden,a scientist said.
