Magpies (喜鹊) are everywhere all over the world. They often share the common meaning of luck, no matter which culture they are found in. In the UK, there is a poem about what seeing a different number of magpies means:
One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for Silver
Six for Gold
Seven for a secret never to be told
Three and four are usually understood to show the sex (性别) of a soon-to-be-born child. Five and six mean that the person is likely to soon find wealth. Seven means that a secret will successfully be kept away from others forever. They are all positive, except for seeing just one bird, which means bad luck. However, there is a way out. By simply saluting (敬礼) the bird, you can get good luck back again.
There is a saying in China that “the singing of a magpie foretells good luck and happiness, while that of a crow bad luck and misery.” It means that magpies are signs of good luck, while crows are those of bad luck. In the UK, crows are also seen as a bad sign by many people. In TV shows and films, if you see a group of crows crying, that is to introduce an air of bad luck or death.
4. What does two magpies mean
A. Health. B. Wealth. C. Happiness. D. Sadness.
5. Which of the following is NOT true about the different numbers of the magpies
A. All numbers of magpies have positive meanings.

C. Different numbers of magpies have different meanings.

【导语】本文主要介绍了喜鹊的象征意义和受人们喜欢的原因。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Two for joy”可知，两只喜鹊意味着快乐。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据“One for sorrow”可知, 一只喜鹊代表悲伤，所以并不是所有喜鹊的数字都有积极的意义，选项A表述错误。故选A。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“It means that magpies are signs of good luck, while crows are those of bad luck.”可知，喜鹊是吉祥的象征，乌鸦是不吉利的象征，所以crow含义为“乌鸦”。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了喜鹊在中外文化中的象征意义和受人们喜欢的原因。所以可以阅读杂志的“文化”部分看到这篇文章。故选D。
C
