Are you superstitious? No, of course not. Do you believe in magic (魔法), and luck charms (护身符), and elves or gremlins (小精灵) ? Certainly not, but if I should greet you with the usual How's business?" You'll answer "Oh, just so-so" although your business is profiting greatly. When you are successful in some venture you might say you were just lucky. And yet, you know it was probably due to your a bility and hard work. Why? Sometimes you knock on wood because wood was once a tree and there is a primitive belief that protective gods inhabit trees and knocking on wood attracts their attention so they may be credited with your successes.
If I should sneeze, only the strongest of you could refrain(克制而不) from saying "God bless you". Why bless this unsanitary (不讲究卫生的) habit? Our ancestors believed that a sneeze opened the body to invasion by devils, and invoking (召唤) the name of God made the devils get out in a hurry. You may not realize it, but you express this same "devil invasion" when you say, "Whatever can have gotten into that child?" or "I wonder what possessed me to do that?"
Although they may no longer be believed, evidences of superstitions that have had their origins in the primitive fear of the unknown still exist in modern language and gestures.

B.believe that very few people are superstitious
C.believes that there are still some evidences of superstitions in what we say and what we do

段落翻译: Before you make up your mind about which way to go, take a hard, honest look at your motivation for starting a company. Too many people are looking to get rich, escape the corporate grind, and work shorter hours with more free time. None of those reasons is likely to lead to success. If you are focused on solving a customer problem or need, believe you can do what you do better than anyone else, dying to work long hours, wear many hates, and juggle endless responsibilities, then you have the right startup mindset. You also need certain personality traits. One of them is a willingness to work very hard all by yourself, at least for the first year or so (and possibly longer).

Don't believe all of the stereotypes (模式化管理) you may have heard about Americans. Even the ones that are true in general may not be true about specific individuals or a large part of the population. For example, although Americans tend to be louder than people from other cul-tures(especially at athletic events), many of the people you meet will be quiet and polite. Some people may be intolerant, but most will be pleasant and welcoming. Remember that American films and television exaggerate(夸张)in order to generate excitement, and so present a rather false picture of what life in the United States is really like. Therefore, tourists in the US are not always on their best behavior.
Americans do tend to be more informal than people from other countries. It is common for Americans to wear casual clothing to school and to greet professors by first name. However, good manners and politeness are always appreciated. If you are polite, and dress a little more formally than your American friends, it will not be poorly thought of.
However, some businesses require their employees to wear a uniform. or a suit. It would be improper to wear a T-shirt and blue jeans to a job interview. Some of the more prestigious restaurants require a coat and tie. Americans tend to dress up for cultural events(the opera, theater and ballet)and to dress down for athletic events. Formal wear is required at weddings and funerals, or any other event with religious event. If you rely on the stereotypes, you will likely put yourself into an embarrassing situation
The underlined sentence probably means_____.
A.Some of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans are not true
B.You should not believe the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans
C.None of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans should be believed
D.None of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans should not be believed
