Halloween is very popular in western countries. On October 31st, dozens of children dressed in costumes (节日服装) knock on their neighbor’s doors and yell
"Trick or Treat"
when the door opens. Pirates and princesses, ghosts and popular heroes of the day all hold bags open to catch the candy or other goodies that the neighbors drop in. As they give each child a treat the neighbors exclaim over the costumes and try to guess who is under the masks.
October 31st was the eve of the Celtic (凯尔特人的) new year. The Celts were the ancestors of the present-day Irish, Welsh and Scottish people. On this day ghosts walked and mingled with the living, or so the Celts thought. The townspeople baked food all that day and when night fell they dressed up and tried to resemble the souls of the dead, hoping that the ghosts would leave peacefully before midnight of the new year.
Much later, when Christianity spread throughout Ireland and October 3I st was no longer the last day of the year, Halloween became a celebration mostly for children. "Ghosts" went from door to door asking for treats, or else a trick would be played on the owners of the house. When millions of Irish people immigrated to the United States in the 1840s the tradition came with them.
Today school dances and neighborhood parties called "block parties" are popular among young and old alike. More and more adults celebrate Halloween. They dress up like historical or political figures and go to masquerade parties (化妆舞会). In larger cities, costumed children and their parents gather at shopping malls early in the evening. Stores and businesses give parties with games and treats for the children. Teenagers enjoy costume dances at their schools and the more outrageous the costume the better!
Certain pranks (恶作剧) such as soaping car windows and tipping over garbage cans are expected. But parties and pranks are not the only things that Halloweeners enjoy doing. Some collect money to buy food and medicine for needy children around the world.
Halloween is celebrated on ________.
选项
A、November I st
B、October 3I st
C、March 2I st
D、October 30th
答案
B
解析
万圣节是10月31日,第一、二段的开头都出现了这个日期。第一段的开头提到On October 31st,dozens of children dressed in costumes knock on their neighbors’ doors…(10月31日的时候,许多孩子身着节日盛装去敲他们邻居的门)由此可知万圣节是在10月31日庆祝的。
