Why are black cats bad?
November 17 is an important day for black cats in Italy. An animal rights group has named that day “Black Cat Day” to stop the killing of thousands of the cats. Why do people the animal so much? It is because people believe black cats bring bad luck if they walk across your path.
The black cat is just one of the of superstition(迷信）.You may already know that Western people don’t like the number 13. They also believe that walking under a ladder, opening an umbrella indoors and a mirror can also bring bad luck.
According to Andrew Macaskill, who works for Times , British people believe it is to see one magpie(喜鹊). But two bring good luck. “In Britain, people like to have a horseshoes over the door. They believe it can bring good luck,” Macaskill said. “But the horseshoe needs to be the right way up. The luck if it is upside down.”
In the US, people usually spit on a new baseball bat before using it for the first time. They think this can bring good luck. Also, it is believed that good spirits live in trees. So by knocking on anything made from wood, people can call upon those spirits for protection against misfortune. People in the US also believe there are evil（邪恶的） spirits in blooms（扫帚）. So lean a broom against a bed. The evil spirits will cast a spell on the bed.

Kid Heroes for the Planet
Earth Day is April 22. On this day, people around the world focus on environmental problems. But you don’t have to wait for Earth Day to take action. You can improve our planet every day of the year. Read their stories, and let them inspire you.
Isabel and Melati Wilsen were 10 and 12 when they learned about Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King J. These change—makers in spired the sisters to think about how they could make a difference in the world. They decided to focus on the plastic pollution affecting Bali, Indonesia, where they live. “Growing up out he island of Ball, we already had a strong connection to the environment,” Melati said. Melati and Isabel created Bye Bye Plastic Bags in 2013. The group’s primary goal was to have single—use plastic shopping bags banned (禁止) across Bali. It succeeded. Bali’s government introduced a law banning the bags beginning in 2019. Melati hopes more kids will be inspired to speak up. “You have a voice, so use it.” she says.
When he was 12, Marcus Deans saw a photograph of a child in Africa drinking dirty water. “I was shocked that this still happens in the world,: he said. Since then, he has been working on a filter (过滤装置) that clears contaminants, such as bacteria out of the water, so people can safely drink it. He called the filter NOGOS. Unlike expensive filters, a NOGOS filter costs just $2 to make. It’s made of sugar, sand, and seashells. Now 17, Marcus is in his final year of high school, in Ontario, Canada. He’s still working hard at perfecting NOGOS, and he plans to have it manufactured and sent to communities that need it. Getting to this point has not been easy. “There were moments when I wanted to give up and walk away from this project,” Marcus says. “But what kept me going is that I wanted to find a solution for people who need clean water.”
Bria Neff, a 12—year—old from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is on a mission (任务) to help endangered species. The mission began four years ago, when she was 8. That’s when Bria started painting portraits of animals. She set up an activity, Faces of the Endangered, as a way to sell her paintings. She gives away the money she raises to organizations that care for threatened animals and ecosystems. So far, Bria has painted more than 250 pictures and gave away $36,000. Bria has also designed two coloring books that feature animals. The books are sold at the Great Plains Zoo, in her hometown. Money from the sale of these books helps fund the protection of endangered species represented at the zoo. What’s Bria’s message for kids who want to make a difference? “No matter how old you are, you can change the world,” she says. “No idea is too small.”
1.Isabel and Melati Wijsen created NOGOS to stop plastic bags.

The last Monday in March is an important day in China. It is a day for school safety education. This year, the day falls on March 25. It helps students learn more about safety and make sure they are safe. What are some accidents at school? How can you keep yourself safe? Take a look!
The main accidents at school are stampedes(踩踏>, earthquakes and fires.
Astampede always happens in crowded places. When students around you begin to push, stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd, put your hands around your head. Move to one side, and bend(弯> your body and legs.
Earthquakes happen all over the world. When you feel everything is moving, quickly get under a desk and hold on, according to China Earthquake Administration(地震局>. If you are outdoors, find a place away from buildings, trees, and power lines(电线>.
When there’s a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It’s better to put something wet over your mouth and nose. This way, you won’t breathe in smoke.
