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!

To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade(遮蔽)against the sun.
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the eleventh century BC.
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use : it became a symbol of honor and power(权力). In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power.
Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.

A. a symbol of honor

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 uncomfo rtable 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.
1.The underlined word “artificial” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.
A. 天然的 B. 人造的 C. 虚构的
2.From the passage we know that _______.
A.people feel good when it is cloudy

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor (因素) that can affect one's emotions?
A. Weather. B. Actions of others.
C. Personality. D. Age.
4.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Enough vitamin D makes people feel good
B.Both hot weather and rainy weather can make people angry
C.Only weather can control our emotions.
5. The best title for this passage should be _______
