There are different superstitions (迷信) in different countries. In Britain, for example, many people do
not like to walk under a ladder or to open an umbrella in a house. If they spill(撒) salt, they will often
throw some of it over one of their shoulders.
When people marry, their friends often tie old shoes to the back of the wedding car. This is because
the shoes can kick away bad spirits(幽灵). Another wedding superstition is to throw small pieces of
paper over the couple. This paper is called confetti(五彩纸屑) . Some people believe that throwing
confetti over the couple will help them to have many children. At one time people wanted to have many
children, but nowadays people usually want only one or two children. However, we still throw confetti
over the couple!
