任务 1:完成表格，每空一词
On October 31 every year, children in the US will see “witches” and “ghosts” walking on the street. Is this the end of the world? No, but it is Halloween!
Halloween is exciting and popular with the people in the US and Canada. There are many colorful activities to celebrate it. One traditional, and favorite game is trick-or-treat. During the night of Halloween, children in scary clothes walk around the town. They knock on nearby houses and shout, “trick or treat!” This means “You can give us some candy, or we’ll play a trick on you!” Most people love giving sweets to children. So there are seldom any tricks. Some schools also hold Halloween parties. Sometimes, teachers are also happy to dress up and join in the party. Grown-ups may visit haunted(闹鬼的) houses. It can be very scary sometimes. But they just love following the saying “The scarier, the better.” What exciting night of scares!

任务1根据英文释义及首字母提示，拼写单词。
The Chinese and Western eating habits are different. Everyone has his or her own plate of food in the western countries. In China, we put the dishes on the table and everybody shares. It is always polite to let guests or older people at the table taste every dish first.
Although there are no strict rules on how to set chopsticks and spoons, there are some things
you should never do during a Chinese meal. Firstly, and the most importantly, we will put your chopsticks on the dish instead of putting them upright (直立的)in the rice bowl. If you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it seems you want someone at the table to die. Don’t tap on your bowl with your chopsticks. Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite, especially when you eat in a friend’s home.
任务2:同义句转换，每空一词。
Chopsticks will _______ ______ on the dish instead of putting them upright in the rice bowl.
任务 3:根据短文内容简答问题。

For hundreds of years, scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effect on people’s emotions(情感). How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, by the actions of others and by events around you. Perhaps you don’t know your emotions can be affected by the weather as well.
People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, it helps our bodies produce vitamin D(维生素). Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical. This special chemical affects our brains and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in some countries in the world, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D. Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special “sunrooms” with artificial lights have been built. People can go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!
The weather can also affect people’s emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains. Through these days, the weather can affect our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.

It was Molly’s job to hand her father his blue paper lunch bag each morning before he went to work. One morning, besides his usual lunch bag, Molly handed him a second brown paper bag. “What’s in it ?” his father asked. “Just some little things. Take it with you,” Molly answered.
At noon, he opened Molly’s bag and took out the things in it: three hair ribbons, two small stones, a plastic dinosaur, a small doll… The busy father smiled, finished eating, and swept the desk clean into the dustbin, Molly’s bag was together with. That evening, Molly ran up behind him as he was reading the paper. “Where’s my bag?” “I left it at the office. Why?” “I forgot to put this note in it, ” she said. “And, besides, Daddy, the things in the bag are the things I really like— I thought you might like to play with them in your free time. You didn’t lose the bag, did you, Daddy?” “Oh, no,” he said, lying. “I just forgot to bring it home.”
While Molly hugged her father’s neck, he opened the note that read: “I love you, Daddy.” Molly had given him her treasures(财富)— all that a 7-year-old girl had. Love in a paper bag, and he missed it—not only missed it, but had thrown it in the dustbin. So he went back to the office, got the bag back and carried it home.
Sometimes we can think of all the happy time in our sweet life, We should all remember that it’s not the destination(终点) that is important in life, but the journey. That journey with the people we love is all that really matters. It is such a simple truth but it is so easily forgotten.
