北京市延庆区2019-2020学年八年级下学期英语期末试卷

阅读短文,根据其内容回答问题

    Halloween is usually celebrated on October 31 or in the weekends before and after this date amongst family, friends and, sometimes, co-workers. In the UK, Halloween traditions are very popular. Here are some of the most common ones.

    Pumpkin lanterns

    These are pumpkins with the insides taken out and eyes, a mouth and a nose cut into one side. A candle is placed inside the empty pumpkin. The light creates a "scary face" effect. People make pumpkin lanterns to decorate their homes and gardens on Halloween.

    But do people actually eat their pumpkins? Yes, they do! Pumpkin soup and pumpkin curry are very popular meals at this time of year.

    Dressing up

    People of all ages dress up on Halloween. The most popular costume (化装服) ideas include witches, vampires, ghosts, skeletons, zombies and monsters. You can buy a costume from a shop or make your own at home. It's easy to make a ghost costume from an old white sheet (床单) or wear black clothes to look like a witch.

    Trick-or-treating

    The custom of "trick-or-treat" appeared in the 1950s. It came from the US and is the most popular among kids. Children dress up in fancy costumes and visit the houses in their neighborhood asking for a "trick or treat". Their neighbors give them sweets or money as a treat. If there is no treat, the children play a trick on the neighbor. Some people think that playing tricks is rude (粗鲁的), but luckily, there is almost always a treat. People often have a bowl of small presents or sweets to offer to anyone who knocks on your door.

    Whether you decide to go to a Halloween party or go trick-or-treating, we hope you've got some ideas for celebrating Halloween.

How do you find the street cats in your school? Cat food? At Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), students made on their phone a mini-program(小程序) Beiwai Cats to help students find the cats in their school and get to know them. 

On Beiwai Cats, every cat on the eastern campus ( 东 校 园) of the university has an"ID card". The cards show the cats' photos with information(信息), like what the cats look like, where to find them, whether(是否) they like people. Cat lovers can even adopt the school cats to give them a home on Beiwai Cats. 

Zhou Hengxiao, 20, helped make the mini-program. He said it is good for both the students and the cats. With the"ID cards", students can learn more about the cats. If students know the cat is afraid of people, they will be more careful not to touch(触碰) it. So the cat may not get scared so often and the students are less likely to get scratched(被抓伤). 

Zhou's group are working on platforms like Weibo, Bilibili and Xiaohongshu to make more people know Beiwai Cats. "When we make money from these platforms, we can use the money to buy more food for the cats, "he said. 

Zhou said they hope to help more street cats on Beiwai Cats. "We don't have much money, but we want to do our best to give these small lives a home, "said Zhou.
