B listen to the passage and tell whether the following statements are true or false

    In England and Europe , there are a number of special wells called wishing wells.Some think that if you throw 8 coins into the water and make a wish,the wish will come true later.Also in England,there are other wishing customs that take place at Christmas and on birthdays

     At Christmas people like to eat the turkey and somewhere inside the turkey there is a special bone,shaped like the letter Y . It is thought to be rather luchy.He invites someone else to break the bone with him.Each person holds one arm of the bone and pulls.When the bone breaks,the person who has the larger part makes a wish and the wish is certain to come true in a year.
