some types of popular beliefs have to do with luck. there are people who believe that you should not walk under a ladder or open an umbrella inside a house. one of the most famous of these beliefs has to do with the number thirteen. many people thought about it during our third moon flight. the spaceship was called apollo 13. the ride into space began quite well on a bright saturday in april of 1970. the captain was jim lovell. everything was fine for two days. then came word of an accident on the ship 206,000 miles from earth. it happened on april 13. people were frightened for lovell and his crew. everyone feared that they might die. the world was delighted when they arrived home safely. it would be a lie, though, to say that the accident did not cause people to think again about the number thirteen.

Explanation:

To solve this, we first identify words with long "i" sound from the paragraph (like die, miles, ride, flight, types) then match to definitions:

1. "to stop living" → die (has long "i" sound: i-e pattern)
2. "a measurement of distance" → miles (i-e pattern: mile has long "i", plural is miles)
3. "a trip in which a person is carried" → ride (i-e pattern: ride has long "i")
4. "a trip through the air" → flight (igh pattern: flight has long "i")
5. "certain kinds" → types (y pattern: type has long "i", plural is types)

Answer:

1. die
2. miles
3. ride
