答案                             Very Superstitious!
    Most superstitions are linked to something negative, or the thought that something will bring bad luck. One of the most terrifying and long-believed superstitions is that breaking a mirror will bring seven years of bad luck. In ancient Greek, Roman and Chinese cultures, many people held the belief that a mirror reflected a person’s soul. If the mirror was broken, the soul would be harmed too, and the person would be frightened out of their wits.
    Superstitions have been found in a wide range of cultures for thousands of years, but research suggests that many of these beliefs can still be found in modern societies. Dr. Foster, from Harvard University, believes it is an example of humans interpreting and reacting to threats. "Natural selection can readily favor making all kinds of associations," says Dr. Foster, "including many incorrect ones."
    So, if these threats are likely to be "incorrect", why are people still so superstitious? Well, it seems many people would prefer to be better safe than sorry.
