Reading comprehension.
      Not long ago I was invited out to dinner by a girl called Jane. I have met Jane only twice, and she was
very beautiful.
      I was very pleased. "She loves me" I thought. "I am sorry at such short notice." She said when I arrived,
"but we suddenly knew there were going to be thirteen people at the table,so we had to find someone else."
Believing that the number 13 is unlucky is a typical of superstition. Recently I came across a little group of
worried people.They gathered round a man lying on the pavement (人行道)beside a road in London. They
were waiting for an ambulance, for the man had been knocked down by a passing taxi. He had stapped off
the pavement and into the street in order not to walk under a ladder (梯子). To see a black cat in England is
lucky. But if you see a black cat in India, it is considered very unlucky. There, if you are about to set out on
a long journey, and someone sneezes, you should not go. If you break a mirror, you will have seven year's
bad luck. Just superstition, of course.
