Introduction to “What will happen if I do this?”
(“行为的后果”简介)
Every action has a consequence or result.Some consequences are serious and some are not.If you don’t do your homework regularly,you’ll fail your studies.That’s serious.If you wake up late,you’ll have to run to school.That’s not so serious (as long as you get to school on time).
Superstitions（n.迷信） are beliefs about serious consequences resulting from actions that are not so serious.Some superstitions have more to do with personal (adj.私人的,个人的) beliefs; for instance,Michael Jordan always wore his blue University of North Carolina shorts under his Chicago Bulls uniform for good luck.However,all cultures have their own superstitions,and most of them are often about luck.
Here are some well-known superstitions from around the world:In Japan,people believe that if you find a white snake,you will be lucky in life.Some Koreans believe that if you hear a magpie (n.鹊),a friend will visit you soon.In the United States,if you break a mirror,you will have seven years of bad luck.In the Philippines,if it rains on their wedding day,the wedding couple will have good luck.In Brazil,if you always put the sugar in the cup before the coffee,you’ll become rich.

做每一件事都会有后果.有些后果是很严重的但是有些不是很严重.如果你不按时叫作业你就会荒废你的学业,那是很严重的后果.如果你起床晚了,你就必须跑着去学校,但是这不是很严重.（只要你按时到达学校就行）.
迷信是一种信仰,这种信仰认为人们会从一个不是很严重的事里得到很严重的后果.很多迷信都是个人的信仰.举个例子,麦克乔丹总是会穿他的蓝色北加利福尼亚大学短裤和芝加哥服来,他认为这样会比较幸运.但是,不同的文化会有不同的迷信,而且大多数都是关于幸运.
世界上很有名的几个迷信有这些：在日本,人们相信白色的蛇会给人们带来幸运.有些韩国人相信如果你听到鹊的叫声,不久就会有朋友来拜访你.在美国,如果你打碎了一面镜子,你就会有7年的霉运.在菲律宾,如果结婚日下雨的话,这对新人就会有好运.在巴西,如果你先放糖再放咖啡的话,你就会变成有钱人.（在告诉你一个,在美国,如果你看见黑色的猫,你那一天都会不走运.但是在英国,你看见黑色的猫的话,那你那一天都走运.而且如果你从梯子下走过,你就会倒霉运.）
