Halloween is just around the corner! People in the West celebrate it on Oct 31 every year. Children usually go trick-or-treating（不给糖就捣蛋）—they knock on their neighbors’ doors and ask for candy.

But because of COVID-19, many cities have advised people not to go trick-or-treating this year. As health experts said, the virus spreads（传播）more easily when people have close contact（接触）with each other.

But this will not stop Halloween fans from keeping the tradition going. For example, Elizabeth Lusty from

London came up with an idea for her two children. She and her neighbors will put boxes of candy in their front yards. Then they’ll plan a safe route（路线）so that children can take the candy without coming into contact with others.

Andrew Beattie from the US also got creative. He and his 6-year-old daughter made a contact-free candy chute（滑道）. It stretches（延伸）from the family’s front door to the sidewalk. They can send candy down the chute to trick-or-treaters outside. The idea became popular online and many people are doing the same.

“This is something that the kids will enjoy and not think of it as I’m doing this to prevent（预防）disease（疾病）,” Beattie told CNN. “They’re doing it to have a good time, and we need that now more than ever.”

14．This year, trick-or-treat is not suggested because ________.

A．it’s not healthy for children to eat candy B．neighbors will not give out candy to kids

C．many cities will ban the activity D．close contact may allow COVID-19 to spread

15．How can kids collect candy from Andrew’s house?

A．They collect candy as usual. B．Andrew will hand it to them.

C．They can take it from a box. D．They collect candy from a chute.

16．Paragraphs 3 and 4 explain ________.

A．what Halloween is usually like B．new ways for kids to trick-or-treat

C．what people are doing to stop trick-or-treaters D．how neighbors stay in touch with each other

17．What can we learn from Beattie?

A．COVID-19 might spread quickly on Halloween. B．People need trick-or-treating these days.

C．Trick-or-treating will not be fun this year. D．Kids don’t care about COVID-19.

Babies love chocolate and sometimes they also eat the paper around it. My cat enjoys a meal of good, thick paper, old letters, for example. She doesn’t like newspapers very much.

Of course, the best paper comes from wood. Wood comes from trees and trees are plants. Vegetables and fruit are plants too, and we eat a lot of them. So we can also eat wood and paper.

Scientists say, “All food comes in some way from plants.” Well, is that true? Animals eat grass and grow fat, then we eat their meat. Little fish eat little seaplants, then bigger fish swim along and eat them. Chickens eat lots of grass and give us meat. Think for a minute. What food does not come from plants in some way?

Scientists can do wonderful things with plants. They can make food just like meat and cheese. And they can make it without the help of animals. It is very good food, too. Now, they begin to say, “We make our paper from wood, and we can also make food from wood. The next thing is not very difficult.” What is the next thing? Maybe
