For many people in the West, March 13 will be scary. It is said that there are millions of people who will be so scared that they will refuse to get out of bed all day! 【1】

Being nervous about Friday the 13th is a superstition (迷信). 【2】Many buildings don’t have a 13th floor and, in races, no one wants to wear the number 13. According to some, Jesus was crucified(十字架上釘死) on Friday making the combination of “Friday” and “13” particularly unlucky.

【3】 For example, people think it is unlucky to walk under ladders. 【4】This behavior is seen as an insult (侮辱) to the sun and a sign that everyone inside will have bad luck. When a black cat passes in front of you, it is also thought to mean that bad luck is coming.

【5】 Well, three-leaf clovers (三葉草), horseshoes facing up and even rabbit feet are said to bring good luck. There is a rhyme to help you remember the last lucky item, a “penny”: “Find a penny, pick it up; All the day you’ll have good luck!”

A. What makes this day so terrifying?

B. Why are people in the West so superstitious?

C. So is there anything you can do to bring good luck in the West?

D. It is also believed that you should never open an umbrella indoors.

E. The number 13 is considered unlucky in many western countries.

F. There are some other animals that people think will bring bad luck.

G. In addition to the number 13, there are other superstitions in Western culture.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】E

【3】G

【4】D

【5】C

【解析】

【1】A 根據(jù)第一段可知，在西方，人們害怕三月十三，而后文中提到人們?yōu)槭裁春ε拢室靡粋�(gè)問(wèn)句來(lái)起到承上啟下的作用，這樣的表述銜接比較合理，故選A。

【2】E 根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，在西方國(guó)家建筑物沒(méi)有13層，耶穌死于星期五都誰(shuí)明數(shù)字13和星期五是不幸的，故選E。

【3】G 根據(jù)該空后的例子：人們認(rèn)為走在梯子地下也是不幸得。可知此處是要說(shuō)明其他一些在西方國(guó)家的迷信。故選G。

【4】D 根據(jù)該空后面的信息可知，這種行為被視為對(duì)太陽(yáng)的侮辱以及每一個(gè)在它底下的人都會(huì)有厄運(yùn)的象征。可知此處是指在屋里打傘。故選D。

【5】C 此段列舉了一些可以給人帶來(lái)幸運(yùn)的事物—找到三頁(yè)草；馬蹄鐵朝上；兔子腳等。可知是一些能給人帶來(lái)運(yùn)氣的東西。故選C。

【題目】Just getting accepted to an American college or university does not guarantee that you will get a visa. And getting a visa just lets you arrive in the United States. It does not guarantee that an immigration officer will permit you to enter the country.

If you are requesting a visa for the first time, you will probably have to go to an American embassy or consulate（領(lǐng)事館）. You will need to bring a government form sent to you by your American school that shows you have been accepted.

You will also need banking and tax records that show you have enough money to pay for your education. And be prepared to provide evidence that you will return to your home country after your studies end.

All of this is important in satisfying the requirements to get a visa. A consular official will also take your picture and your fingerprints.

Foreign students must contact their local embassy or consulate to request an interview and to get other information. This includes directions about how and where to pay the visa application charge. The cost is two hundred dollars.

You should apply for the visa as soon as you have been accepted to a school in the United States. The government needs time to perform a background investigation.

You cannot receive a visa more than one hundred twenty days before the start of your program. And if you are coming as a student for the first time, you cannot enter the country more than thirty days before classes begin.

Once you come to the United States, you can stay for the length of your period of study. Your school is required to provide the Department of Homeland Security with reports on your status as a student.

【1】What do you have to take to the American embassy if you request a visa for the first time?

A. A government form. B. Banking and tax records.

C. Pictures and fingerprints. D. Both A and B.

【2】When should you apply for a visa?

A. The moment you have been accepted to a school in the US.

B. One hundred twenty days before you go to the US.

C. Thirty days before classes begin.

D. After the immigration officer permit you to enter the US.

【3】How much will you be charged for the visa application?

A. Free of charge. B. Two hundred dollars.

C. One hundred twenty dollars. D. Thirty dollars.

【4】What may be the main idea of this passage?

A. When to get a visa.

B. Some tips on how to get a visa.

C. How to enter the US.

D. Ways to be accepted by American universities.
