The word “Halloween” is a shortening of All Hallows Evening, also known as Halloween or All Hallows Eve.Traditional activities include trickortreating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting “ghost houses” and cutting jackolanterns. Halloween has its origins in the ancient festival known as Samhain (pronounced “sahwin”). The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped (重叠) and the dead would come back to life and cause destruction such as sickness or damaged crops.The festival frequently includes bonfire. It is believed that the fires attract the harmful insects to the area which attract bats to the area to eat them. These are additional features of the history of Halloween.Masks and costumes were worn in an attempt to imitate the evil spirits.Trickortreating, is an activity for children on or around Halloween in which they go on from house to house in costumes, asking for treats such as candies with the question, “Trick or treat？” Trickortreating is one of the main traditions of Halloween. It has become socially expected that if one lives in a neighborhood with children one should buy treat in preparation for trickortreaters.The history of Halloween has evolved. The activity is popular in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Canada. Bad trickortreating has started to happen among children in many parts of Europe. In continental Europe, where the commercedriven importation of Halloween is seen with more illegal “tricks” and police warnings have further raised doubt about this game and Halloween in general.语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章介绍了西方传统节日万圣节前夕的起源和它的一些主要活动。1What does Halloween refer to?AAll Saints Day.BAll Hallows Eve.CEaster.
