[ti:Dictation 1 Superstition] [00:00.50]Dictation 1 Superstition 迷信

[00:05.39]One person in four in Britain is, apparently, superstitious, [00:11.35]and they'll do everything from hanging horseshoes

[00:14.58]over their fireplace to crossing their fingers,

[00:17.84]touching wood and absolutely never walking under a ladder.

[00:22.40]And they're careful about cats.

[00:25.58]Black cats are supposed to be the familiars of witches, [00:30.02]so if one is following you it's definitely bad luck

[00:34.70]- a witch is after you!

[00:36.46]On the other hand, if one crosses your path and continues

[00:41.17]then it's good luck because it hasn't noticed you.

[00:45.15]However, in some places the beliefs are different [00:49.53]- so it pays to know where your black cat comes from!

[00:53.36]Old superstitions linger even in today's modern world.

9. Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879, His father owned a factory that made electrical devices. His mother enjoyed music and books. His parents were Jewish but they did not observe

many of the religion’s rules. Albert was a quite child who spent much of his time alone. He was

slow to talk and had difficulty learning to read. When Albert was five years old, his father gave

him a compass. The child was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle

always pointed in the same direction—to be north. He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move. Their answers about magnetism and gravity were difficult for the boy to

understand. Yet he spent a lot of time thinking about them. He said later that he felt something

hidden had to be behind things.
