B.There are some foreign superstitions that we might think very strange or funny. For example,if we sneeze, our foreign friends usually say,”God bless you.”to us. We may wonder why our sneezehas anything to do with God. The reason is that some foreigners once believed the soul could runaway from the body when a person sneezed. Another interesting example is that when people fromanother countries wish us good luck, they sometimes say”Break a leg!” to us. This is because bysaying so, evil spirits can be tricked and do us no harm. So next time when you hear someone saythis to you, don’t get mad.
