(A)
Hallowe'en is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means “holy evening”, and it comes every October 31,the evening before All-Saints Day. However, it's not really a church holiday; it's a holiday for children.
Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put lights inside. It looks like there is person looking out of the pumpkin!
The children also put on strange masks(面具)and frightening clothes every Hallowe' en. Some children paint their faces to look like monster(怪物).Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say, “Trick or treat! Money or eat!”The adults put a treat-money or candy- in their bags.
Some children think of other people on Hallowe' en. They carry boxes for UNICEF (The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund). They ask for money to help poor children
all around the world. Of course, every time they help UNICEF, they usually receive a treat for themselves, too.
