Joan: Pass me that mirror, would you? I’ll see if my makeup is OK.

Dick: OOOPS!! Sorry I dropped it…but is it you or me that gets the seven years of bad luck?

Joan: You, I hope, but probable neither of us. I wonder where that “old wives’ tale” originated anyway.

Dick: There used to be a lot of superstitions: black cats, ladders, numbers. My parent and grandparents are full of them.

Joan: I agree. People today are much more educated than before. These superstitions are just amusing pieced of history rather than beliefs, don’t you think so?

Dick: Perhaps, but some people today still go for them. People whose livelihoods depend more on luck—like professional athletes, or fishermen—often they have superstitiousroutines.

Joan: It’s rue. I have heard of athletes who wear lucky socks or a treasured medal to bring them good fortune.

Dick: And let’s not forget lucky numbers. We all know about the number4,6, and 8 in China.

Joan: I know 4 is death and 8 is wealth, but what is the significance of 6?

Dick: 6 means good luck. Some people include 6 in their e-mail address just for luck.

Joan: Maybe we are not as smart as we think we are.

Dick: Well, there are many things in the universe that we cannot control, and that’s why people are superstitious.
