People all over the world recently celebrated Halloween. Children dressed up in costumes （戏剧性的服饰）and went door-to-door for candy. We call it “trick or treating” and its one of the most fun parts of the holiday for kids.But some US cities have rules about who can go trick-or-treating. For example, in the cities of Meridian, Mississippi and Bishopville, South Carolina, kids above the age of 12 cannot go trick-or-treating. Why were these rules created? Something that is just for young children. Others point out that teenagers lose interest in trick-or-treating at a certain age anyway, and would prefer to go to a party with their friends instead.I dont quite remember when I stopped trick-or-treating. It was probably when I was in my early to mid-teens. So I guess these laws wouldnt have bothered（困扰）me. But then again, Im not sure if its “right” to stop older kids from trick-or-treating, especially if they work hard to put together a creative costume.And there could be some bad effects as well. Experts say that trick-or-treating has been welcomed in the US because it helped to cut down on teenage vandalism（破坏公物）in the past.

My alarm clock wakes me, which reminds me of school. I usually would sleep like a log, but today is a holiday and I have to be at the pool for swimming practice at a quarter to seven. About 30 swimmers show up for practice. An hour later, I ride my bike home. The suburbs(郊区) are quiet in the morning, with few cars on the street.I know I should be studying German but instead I wander(游荡)to my room, lie down on the bed and sleep like a log. When I open my eyes again, the first thing I see is the alarm clock. Its 10:40 and I have a basketball class in less than 20 minutes. With the help of a shortcut(捷径) I arrive on time. About 15 kids and I spend the rest of the morning “shooting hoops(圈)”.A bus takes us home，and I see a neighbour walking her dogs. Its past noon.
