答案     Halloween
    It’s October the 31st, and across Britain and the USA, / thousands of children are dressing up as monsters, ghosts and witches / and going to their neighbors’ houses to ask for sweets / or to play tricks on them if they refuse. / Many houses have lanterns made from pumpkins in their windows. / These lanterns have frightening faces cut into them. /
    What is the reason for all of this? It’s Halloween! / To an outsider, this may seem a strange festival, / but it is a very popular one and an important part of the culture in Britain and the USA. / The holiday once had a religious significance. / November the 1st is All Saint’s Day, / and October the 31st was believed to be a day / when all the spirits came back to the world of the living. / In modern times, this has changed to be a day 7 when children dress up as monsters, ghosts and witches. /
