Something about Old ShanghaiB One story about Jack, an Irishman（爱尔兰人）, who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy（吝啬） with his money. So he was sent to hell地狱. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan) （魔鬼撒旦）, so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern. Well, Irish children made Jacks lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip（萝卜）, hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla（督伊德神）. The Irish name for these lanterns was Jack with the lantern or Jack of the lantern, abbreviated as Jack-o-lantern and now spelled jack-o-lantern. The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just childrens fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary（小学校） school. Children would make Halloween decorations, all kinds of orange-paper jack-o-lanterns. we went together to neighbors houses, ringing their doorbell and yelling, Trick or treat! meaning, Give us a treat (something to eat) or well play a trick on you! The people inside were supposed to come to the door and comment（评价） on our costumes. Oh! heres a ghost. Oh, theres a witch. Oh, heres an old lady. Sometimes they would play along with us and pretend to be scared by some ghost or witch. But they would always have some candy and maybe an apple to put in our trick or treat bags. But what if no one come to the door, or if someone chased us away? Then wed play a trick on them, usually taking a piece of soap and make marks on their windows. And afterwards we would go home and count who got the most candy. One popular teen-agers Halloween trick was to unroll a roll of toilet paper and throw it high into a tree again and again until the tree was all wrapped in the white paper. The paper would often stay in the tree for weeks until a heavy snow or rain washed it off. No real harm done, but it made a big mess of both the tree and the yard under it. One kind of Halloween mischief. 34. Why wasnt Jack allowed into Heaven?A. Because he made lots of bad things. B. Because he hurt God. C. Because he was selfish and not generous. D. Because he didnt like Heaven.35. What did Irish children make Jacks lanterns from? A. A large potato or pumpkin. B. A large potato or turnip. C. A large turnip or pumpkin. D. A large turnip or orange.36. How neighbors deal with us? A. They invited us to their house and treat us. B. They always asked us to go away quickly. C. They always called our parents and tell them what had happened. D. They gave us some candy or an apple.CAll schools have their own rules. The rules change from one school to another.

Here are some funny school rules: Strict Japanese rules Most schools ask students to wear uniforms, such as sports suits or skirts. But Japanese schools even have rules about the colour of underwear! They also require that girls socks should be folded(折叠) in a certain way and boys heads should be shaved(剃).Other Japanese schools tell students that they cant go to the movies after sunset. Different shoes in the USA At some American schools, students have to change their shoes when they go into the schools every day. This makes sure students wont fall over on the floors and keeps the schools clean. No strange hair in the UK Strange hairstyles are not allowed in some British schools. But they might allow students to wear certain hairstyles during the World Cup years. There were two students who had special hairstyles during the 2020 World Cup.

Many animals with hair, such as dogs and cats, keep themselves clean by licking (舔)their hair. They also use their teeth to pull out small dirty things from their hair. When they lick their hair, it is almost as if they are using a wet brush to clean themselves.Birds take baths to stay clean. First they walk through water that is not deep. Next they beat（拍打) their wings to dry themselves. Birds also take sand baths（沙浴）on the ground. It is thought that they do this to drive away parasites(寄生虫).Even fish need cleaning. Fish have very little parasites that live in their mouths. Some fish live by eating these parasites off other fish. Such fish are called cleaner fish. Larger fish will open their mouths so that the cleaner fish can get in to clean.Some animals that live in groups clean each other, such as monkeys. They often clean one another. One monkey may clean an area that the other monkey cant reach. How interesting it is!42.

Luckily, here are several suggestions for you to make homework easy. Make a homework plan Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you may need to spend even more time. It is a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule(进度表), especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after school. Watch where you work A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your homework. But dont study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there. Take a break Most peoples attention (注意力) dont last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive(多产的) than if you stop to take a break regularly. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good way for most people. Get help when you need it Sometimes even though you are listening carefully in class, some subjects seem too hard. The first person to ask for help is your teacher. He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly. Your classmates may also be able to give you a hand. However, this might not give you the results you want. Lots of people understand something well but are not able to explain it.
