November 1 7 is an important day for black cats in Italy．An animal rights group has named that day as“Black Cat Day”to stop the killing of thousands of the cats．Why do people hate this animal SO much?It is because people believe black cats bring bad luck if you see them walking across your path．

The black cat is just one of the symbols of superstition(迷信)．You may already know that Western people don’t like the number 1 3．Besides knocking over a salt bottle，they also believe that walking under a ladder, opening an umbrella indoors and breaking a mirror can also bring bad luck．

According to Andrew Macaskill．who works for Teens．British people believe it is unlucky to see one magpie(喜鹊)．But two bring good luck．“In Britain，people like to have a horseshoe over the door．They believe it can bring good luck．"Macaskill said．“But the horseshoe needs to be the right way up．The luck runs out if it is upside down．”

In the US．people usually spit on a new baseball bat before using it for the first time．They think this can bring good luck．Also．it is believed that good spirits live in trees．So bv knocking on anything made from wood，people can call upon those spirits for protection against—misfb—rtune．People in the US also believe there are devils in brooms(扫帚、)．So don’t lean a broom against a bed．The evil spirits will cast a spell on the bed．

we all，at one time or another，have pretended to be a rock star，singing and dancing along to our favorite song．Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults，in the privacy of our homes．Me?I love to do that when I drive!I tum on the radio．find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm．Most of the time．I do this on my way to work．

Yes，that is true，1 will be in my nice work clothes，j amming while driving or stopped at a traffic light I get weird(古怪的)looks from some people and others laugh．Personally，I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!

The definition for the word silly，according to the dictionary is：stupid，foolish and nonsensical．I know many people do not want to look foolish．So they walk around all serious， which，in all honesty．is foolish!

No one is perfect，I repeat：no one is perfect．I don’t care how educated，how thin，how beautiful，how simple，how frugal，how rich，and so on．．．No one is perfect!So why pretend to be something you are not?

Life is so short．．．You never know when this beautiful j oumey will be over，

so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity(呆板)?Here is a quote by Souza，that I think says it all and is a great recipe for 1ife：

"Dance as though no one is watching you．

Love as though you have never been hurt before，

Sing as though no one can hear you，

Live as though heaven is on earth．"

When we were kids．we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others．However，as we grew up，we lost that childlike innocence．

So don·t lose the child that still lives within you．The next time you feel down，go tum on your favorite song，and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow．01’watch something that makes you laugh．Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails(使痛苦)you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your stomach hurts．Trust me，you will feel a whole lot better，and who doesn‘t want to feel good?

Since the Internet has come into homes，the daily life has never been the same again．But the thing that worries most of us is that we can get viruses from the Internet．Will we catch viruses on our cell phones? A new study in the journal Science says yes，but the spread of such mobile software that can bring harm to our cell phones won’t reach dangerous levels until more cell phones are on the same operating system．

Computers are easily attacked by viruses because they share data，especially over the Internet．Of course，nowadays，more people are using their cell phones more and more frequently．They use them for emailing．text messaging and downloading troublesome ring tones，etc．so it is obvious that cell phone viruses are a threat，as well．

Scientists used nameless call data from more than six million cell phone users to help model a possible outbreak．And they concluded that viruses that spread from phone to phone by Bluetooth are not much concerned．because users have to be in close physical relation for their phones to“see”one another．However, viruses that spread through multimedia messaging services can move much faster，because they can come in．disguise．，such as a cool tune sent by a friend．The good news is that to be effective．these viruses need their victims to all use the same operating system，which not enough of us do，because there is no Microsoft operating system for mobile phones，yet．Thank goodness．

36．what does the underlined word“disguise”in the last paragraph mean?

A．Surprise． B．Danger． C．Hiding the identity．D．Using the same system．37．When ．cell phone viruses can be dangerous．

A．all the cell phones work on the same operating system

B．Microsoft operating system for cell phones is created

D．It can make users have close physical relation with one another．

39．We can learn from the passage that ．

A．it is impossible to catch viruses on our cell phones

B．cell phones are not well connected with the Internet

C．it is dangerous for people to download ring tones to cell phones

D．more than one operating system is available for cell phone users now

If your recurring(经常性的)dreams are worrying you，you can rest assured and needn’t worry．Psychologists say in the vast maj ority．of these cases，this is just the mind’s way of dealing with stress and conflicts，problems and concerns．It’s a good thing．

They call be surprisingly vivid and real，or fragmented and weird．They can be comforting or frightening．Our dreams can tell us a lot about what we are really thinking．Dreams give us an x—ray of our unconsciousness(潜意识)．The3,tell us，particularly when we are at life’s passages or turning points．

Lisa Oppenheim had the same dream whenever she was about to move to a new home or a new city．It’s always just a feeling of needing to stay safe．Experts say disturbing dreams often occur around major life events．For Lisa，it was moving．For others，it can be marriage or divorce，the death of a loved one or pressure at work．

Doctor Siegel has studied the meaning of dream for nearly 30 years．He believes stressful or upsetting dreams can be a sign of what’s buried deep inside our minds． He said．“Dreams are important to survival．They are crucial to the balance of our psyche(心灵)．They help us work out problems that we’re having every single day．They go to the cutting edge of what’s stressful，what’s bothering us and what we’re working out in our lives．Dreams can guide us and in order to find that guidance，to find that deep source of wisdom that’s in our dreams every night，we need to pay attention to our dreams．”

But many dreams are scary and horrible．How can we understand these nightmares? Doctor Siegel says they are reflecting especially intense emotion or unresolved conflict．The stronger the emotion in the dream，whether it’s pleasure or fear，the likelier the dream is to be important．

Knowing what your recurring dreams or nightmares mean can be liberating．Some nightmares can be a sign of serious psychological problems，such as post-dramatic stress disorder．If they are extremely disturbing or violent or the cause of sevel’e anxiety，you should see a professional therapist(治疗专家)．

41．By saying“Dreams give US an x—ray of our unconsciousness”．the author means that dreams

A．Dreams play a very important role in the world’S balance．

B．Dreams help US find out the problems we need tO solve．

C．We should pay attention to every dream we have．
