Her baby was sleeping there. There was a cat near the baby. The mother took the cat away immediately，because the cat often lay on the baby. Then the baby couldnt breathe and it died by magic.In many countries, people are afraid of black cats because they bring bad luck. Napoleon didnt like black cats. He saw a black cat before the battle of Waterloo. He lost the battle and the British won.Therefore，on the Continent，the black cat is unlucky；in Britain it is lucky.In general，animals are lucky and birds are unlucky.In the British army，some have a goat for luck，and some have an Irish wolfhound(猎狼犬)When President of America Eisenhower died，there was a horse in the funeral(葬礼)procession.This was for luck.Several years ago in Britain，Prince Charles went foxhunting.When they caught the first fox，they killed it. Then they put some of the blood on Prince Charles.They did the same thing two years later，when Princess Anne went foxhunting for the first time. A lot of people dont like foxhunting, and they were very angry when this happened. It is called“being blooded”；and foxhunters think that is very necessary. It brings good luck to the new foxhunter，when the blood of the first fox is put on him or her. In the country，it is very lucky when you see the first lamb in spring while birds are usually unlucky，but eagles are different. They are lucky，and the Romans have the eagle as their symbol.

This is so familiar that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process (过程) is not as simple as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant (连续的) darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they normally do.
