VI.            Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Every country has its own superstitions. In some countries, people believe four-leaf clovers are good luck. Many people also believe that breaking a mirror is bad luck. Did you know that there are also superstitions about money? Let’s learn about some of these superstitions around the world.

In Russia, there are several superstitions about money. Russians think people should always give money
with their right hand and receive it with their left hand. Otherwise, they might lose money. Also, they believe if someone receives an empty wallet as a gift, he or she will become poor. So, people always make sure to put some money inside the wallets they give as gifts.

Greece also has interesting money superstitions. Greeks say, “Money attracts money.” That is why Greek people always try to carry at least a few coins with them at all times. They believe doing so might bring them more money in the future. Similarly, they believe they will have bad luck if they don’t have any money in their wallet or bank account.
In Japan, the snake is a symbol of money and wealth. Therefore, some people keep a piece of snake skin in their wallet for good luck. Some people think if you see a white snake, you will be lucky forever. On the other hand, they believe that if they kill a snake, they will lose all their money.

These are just a few examples of money superstitions around the world. Although some may seem silly, many people believe in them. Throughout history, these superstitions have actually affected many people’s behavior.

I.           Read the following passage and choose the best answers.

A superstition is a traditional belief in the magical effects of a particular action or thing. Many superstitions are related to luck. For example, breaking a mirror or spilling salt brings bad luck. On the other hand, carrying a rabbit’s foot or being boom on a Sunday brings good luck. According to other superstitions, specific actions bring specific results. Guests throw rice at a wedding to ensure that the couple will have many children. Wearing a white wedding dress was made popular by England’s Queen Victoria. And, if a female wedding guest puts a piece of the wedding cake under her pillow at night, she will dream about her future husband.

Although many people ridicule such beliefs as irrational and unscientific, some of them may have a practical origin. Hanging garlic around a child's neck is supposed to provide protection from illness. Garlic may really have this effect, but because the strong smell keeps sick people away from the child! Another superstition states that lighting three cigarettes with one match will bring bad luck. This belief probably began during World War I when at night, a match that stayed lit too long provided a target for the enemy.

Every human culture in history has had some superstitious beliefs. Almost all people behave in a superstitious way once in a while. Maybe that is because everyone at sometime feels afraid or uncertain about the future. Superstitions can be comforting. They give people a sense of knowledge and control over what happens to them.
