Are you superstitious? Do you believe in good luck and bad luck? And, if so, how do you go about avoiding bad and 【S1】______ good luck?
One person in four in Britain is, apparently, superstitious, and they’ll do everything from hanging horseshoes over their fireplace to crossing their fingers, touching wood and 【S2】______ never walking under a ladder. And they’re careful about cats. Black cats are 【S3】______ to be the familiars of witches or warlocks, so if one is following you it’s definitely bad luck--a witch is after you! On the other hand, if one crosses your path and continues then it’s good luck because it hasn’t noticed you. However, in some places the 【S4】______ are different--so it pays to know where your black cat comes from!
Old superstitions 【S5】______ even in today’s modem world. The author Philip Pullman drew on them in his 【S6】______ winning trilogy of novels ’His Dark Materials’. The trilogy, which appeals to both children and adults, has been 【S7】______ for radio and also the theatre.
They are also the 【S8】______ for research by Dr Richard Wiseman at the University of Hertfordshire. He believes that some people actually want to be unlucky because it helps them to avoid taking 【S9】______ for their own failings, it’s easier to say ’I failed the exam because I’m just an unlucky person’ than to 【S10】______ that you didn’t work hard enough. ’It’s a way of copping out,’ he said.
A) linger B) responsibility C) subject D) promoting
E) lifting F) award G) adapted H) absolutely
I) nearly J) supposed K) course L) beliefs
M) benefit N) patience O) admit [br] 【S1】
