I have always heard
that walking under a ladder brings bad luck, but I’ve never thought so. I have
walked under ladders many times, but I have never met anything bad before. It’s
the same with black cats. People say if a black cat crosses before you, it
means bad luck. I have never thought that until this afternoon. But ever since
I heard my student Sam’s story, I’ve begun thinking about whether it was true.
This afternoon, Sam
was walking down the street thinking about something, so he wasn’t paying
attention to (注意到) where he
was going. He walked right under a ladder standing against(倚着) a building. A black cat ran out
of a door just at that moment, and Sam fell over it. His head hit the ladder. A
man washing the window was at the top of that ladder and the dirty water went
down through the air .Poor Sam! He got wet all over.

57 River Street
London
Dear Linda,
Thanks for your
letter. I’m very happy that you can come on Sunday. When you drive to my house,
it’s easy to find the station. It’s a little difficult after that, so here are some
instructions: Drive past the station. You can’t turn left into Garden Road, so
go across the traffic lights into New Street. There’s a football ground on your
left. Go straight ahead, past the bank (银行), and turn left into Green Road. Turn left again into High Street,
and River Street is the first on the right. My house is on the right, opposite(在……对过) the school.
