Exercise 4. Read the Learn this! box. Then find examples of rules (1–3) in the text in exercise 3.
If you were Costis Mitsotakis, you might consider yourself the world’s unluckiest man. Costis was the only person in his village not to buy a ticket in the Spanish Christmas lottery. When they won first prize, everyone except Costis received a share of the total prize of nearly £600 million, so he was the poorest person in his village that Christmas. But there are other contenders. For example, US park ranger Roy Sullivan was even unluckier than Costis. He was struck by lightning seven times in his lifetime – the world record! However, that’s nothing like as bad as Britain’s John Lyne, who is perhaps the most unfortunate of all. At eighteen months old, he accidentally drank disinfectant and had to have his stomach pumped. And the older he got, the worse things became. He’s been run over, nearly drowned and had a car crash. John’s life has been more accident-filled than you would think possible. But he doesn’t think he’s unlucky. As far as he’s concerned, most of his accidents could have ended a lot more seriously, so he may actually be the world’s luckiest man!
