SUPERSTITION
There is evidence of superstition among ancient
civilizations. But this is not something of the past.
Superstition is part of our modern world, too.
Some very old beliefs are present among us today: a broken mirror, for example, means seven years of bad luck. A black cat brings you bad luck when it crosses your way. Some people never walk under a ladder because it also means bad luck. New Yorkers, for example, believe that 13 is a sign _____ bad luck and many buildings have _____ thirteenth floor.
There is also a place for good luck ______ superstition. Some charms and beliefs are popular because they bring good luck. A horseshoe, for example, or a four-leaf clover are popular good luck charms around the world. In Brazil, it is very difficult _____ find a ticket of the Federal Lottery with a final 13 because this is the lucky number. There is another curious belief in Brazil which states that if you give three kisses on the face of a single girl it will bring marriage.
Superstition is certainly part of the past, present and future life of man. For some people, it is ignorance; for others, it is an important part of their lives.
