FOR many young people, Halloween is the best day of the year. The holiday has a very interesting history.
It was first celebrated in Ireland and Scotland as a festival of the dead. Families invited their ancestors (祖先) into their homes but tried to keep bad spirits (精灵) out by wearing scary costumes (服装).
Now the holiday is a time for fun and excitement. Families carve (雕刻) scary or funny faces into pumpkins and put candles inside to make them into lanterns (灯笼). These are called jack-o''-lanterns.
Children dress up in costumes and walk around their neighborhoods collecting candy. They knock on doors and when a person opens the door, the children shout, “Trick or treat!”
Once, this meant that if the person at the door did not give the children a treat, they would play a mean (坏的) trick. But today, children usually do not play tricks. They are too busy getting as much candy as they can!

| B．When I have to learn a new word, I write down the word and its meaning in the back of my notebook. Then I make sure to use the word at least 7 times in the next week. I put a check next to the word each time I use it to be sure. This way I can remember that word better. |
| C．I sit in the front of the classroom. That way there are no distractions between me and the teacher. The further back you sit, the more kids there are in front of you who can distract you. |
| D．I watch my teachers carefully for clues about what’s most important. Some start moving around a lot, some raise their voice, and some start moving their hands about. When this happens, I write down what they’re saying in my notebook. |
