 English Test: Superstitions

1- Read the article about the origin of two superstitions and write True or False. Justify the false answers.

"A broken mirror gives you seven years of bad luck."

In ancient Greece, it was common for people to consult "mirror seers," who told their fortunes by analyzing their
reflections. Divination was performed with the help of water and a looking glass (mirror). This was called
catoptromancy. The mirror was put into the water and a sick person was asked to look into the glass. If his image
appeared distorted, he would to die soon; if it was clear, he would live."
In the first century A.D., the Romans added a twist to the superstition. At that time, it was believed that. A
distorted image resulting from a broken mirror meant seven years of ill-health and misfortune, rather than death.

"A black cat crossing your path is lucky/unlucky."

Many cultures agree that black cats are powerful omens but do they signify good or evil?

The ancient Egyptians loved all cats, and it was there that the belief began that a black cat crossing your path
brings good luck. This positive reputation was different in Europe in the early seventeenth century in England.
King Charles I had a black cat as a pet. When the cat died, King Charles lamented that his luck was gone. The day
after the cat’s death he was arrested and charged with high treason.
During the Middle Ages, in many other parts of Europe people thought black cats were the "familiars," or
companions, of witches, or even witches themselves in disguise, and that a black cat crossing your path was an
indication of bad luck, a sign that the devil was watching you. This was a strong belief held by the Pilgrims when
they came to America, perhaps explaining the strong association between black cats and witchcraft that exists in
the country to this day.
