Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Halloween used to be a time for kids. In the past, the festival meant houses decorated with jacko'lanterns, cool costumes (化装服) made by mums, and going door to door asking for candy, saying “trick or treat”.
However, you wouldn't have seen any of these if you were at this year's Halloween events in Shibuya, Tokyo, from Oct 27 to 30. Halloween in Japan has become a big party for adults, who dress up in costumes and hang around having fun taking pictures. In other words, this festival is no longer just a time for kids.
As USA Today editor Bruce Horovitz wrote, “Adults have slowly been stealing Halloween from kids.” But “steal” is not quite the exact word, since the adults of today all used to be kids themselves. These grownups still manage to keep the tradition of dressing up alive, however, even if they're too old to knock on strangers' doors for candy now.
Some companies even encourage their employees to wear costumes to work so that they can relax and enjoy their share of the festival fun. “You can wear whatever you want and not be judged,” Denise Delahorne of DDB Worldwide, an advertising company, told Forbes when asked why adults are so into Halloween compared to other holidays. “There's no pressure of it . You don't have to travel or deal with relatives. There's no holiday pressure to find a date if you are single.”
But here comes the interesting part: As the “adult Halloween” industry gets bigger and bigger, movie theatres, drink sellers and haunted houses are starting to aim at adult customers only. There's even an Halloween trade show in the US every year that you can't even enter if you're under 16.
That isn't good news for kids, but on the bright side, at least young people can still get free candy. And what could be better than that?

Life can bring us down from time to time. At some point,you may find yourself in what you will consider as your darkest hour. As you try to find your way out of that bad situation,you should try to remind yourself that there will always be a reason to be grateful.
If you look at your situation now and compare it with someone else who is in much deeper trouble than you,I am sure that you'll find something to be thankful for. We all have our share of problems,but complaining about them so much only makes us blind to the fact that there are the miracles(奇迹) which happen around us each day.
When all your needs are provided,then you should be content and happy. If you have a roof over your head,some proper clothes to wear,enough food on the table,a comfortable place to sleep,clean water to drink and you are free to make your own choices,then you should be happy and grateful. Many people all around the world,especially those who are at war or those in very poor countries, would_give_anything_to_be_in_your_shoes .
Even if you lose all your money or possessions and your heart is broken for some reason,as long as you are still alive,then everything you have lost can be regained. If you have a few good friends who will be there to support or help you,then be glad because true friends are hard to find. As long as you have someone to love and someone to love you back,then you are a very fortunate person. Remember to be patient and trust that things will get better.
