When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of "Good luck!" from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?

    In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.

    Have you heard the saying "When you wish upon a star"? If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn't happen very often. The saying goes that you have been very lucky if you see one, and so if you make a wish, it will come true.

    Maybe you have heard of the lucky  rabbit's foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit's feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, "Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit!"

    People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bring them a lucky month in the following year—they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole of good luck!

Dear editor,

Yesterday we did a survey in our class about the most popular activities by the school English club. Here are the results.

Do you know a leftover mystery box（剩菜盲盒）? They are boxes with food in some stores. When food like meat，vegetables and fruit is near（接近） the expiration date（保质期），stores put it in mystery boxes and sell them，so the boxes are at very good prices. 

My mother always buys leftover mystery boxes in the store at 5: 00 p. m. Then my family eat the food in the box in the evening. We all like the leftover mystery boxes. My mother thinks they can help us save money. The same food in the mystery box is only ¥9. 9，but is ¥30 in the food store. My father thinks buying this box is good for the environment（环境）. And I like the box because it is interesting. It's great fun to open the box and see what's in it. 

But it's not always good. You don't know what food to eat and sometimes the food in the box is not healthy. 

What do you think of a leftover mystery box? Do you want to buy one? 

Do you feel comfortable when the cold winter comes? Many say they feel uncomfortable in very cold weather. But you should consider yourself lucky because you don't live in Siberia (西伯利亚). 

In many places in Siberia, the winter is always very long and it's very, very cold! It starts to snow in November and the snow won't leave until May. The temperature is usually about -25℃, but it's sometimes much colder than that. When it's —35℃, children can't go to school, but grown- ups (成人) still go to work! And in some areas, the temperature can drop(下降) to -70℃. In spring and summer it is often cloud y and it often rains a lot, and people don't often see the sun. 

You may think there is nothing but ice and snow in Siberia. In fact, many people live there and there are lots of forests. Many tall trees grow there. People living there wear a lot of warm clothes. All the houses have heating (供暖), so it's never cold inside. In winter, people close the windows to stop the wind from getting in, and they don't open them again before spring comes.
