Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the question.
Certain birds are, more often than not, considered bad luck, or even a sign of impending death. For
example, all over the world, both crows and ravens have some connection to war and death. In early
times, crows and ravens were thought to accompany the gods of war, or be signs of the gods' approaching
arrival. This idea later changed. Crows in particular were thought to be harbingers of ill fortune or, in
some cases, guides to the afterlife. Woe be it to the person who saw a single crow or raven flying
overhead, for this was most certainly a portent of death in the near future.
4

Interestingly, though potentially bad luck for people individually, the raven is considered to be
good luck for the crown of England. So much so, in fact, that a “raven master” is, even today, an actual
government position in London. He takes care of the ravens there and also clips their wings, ensuring that
these birds can never fly far from the seat of the British government. This way, the kingdom will never
fall to ill fortune.
Another bird that is thought to play a part in forecasting the fortunes of people is the swallow.
Depending on how and when it is seen, the swallow can be a harbinger of either good or ill fortune.
Perhaps inspired by the swallow's red-brown breast, Christian people initially related the swallow to the
death of Jesus Christ. Thus, people who saw a swallow fly through their house considered it a portent of
death. Later, however, farmers began to consider swallows signs of good fortune. Any barn that has
swallows living in it is sure to be blessed in the following year. Farmers also have to beware of killing a
swallow; that would be certain to end any good luck they might have had.
Though many people think these superstitions are old wives' tales, there is actually some evidence
to support them. For example, crows and ravens, being scavengers, appear at the aftermath of battles.
Thus, large numbers of crows and ravens could be good indications of war in an area. As well, swallows
feed on insects that can cause infections in cattle. Thus, a farmer who has many swallows in his barn may
actually have healthier animals on his farm. Therefore, the next time you feel inclined to laugh at an old
wives' tale, maybe you had better find out if there is any truth to it first!
