1.Halloween (October 31) is a holiday widely celebrated with different names in many countries. Although it originated as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children’s day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand.
The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it, and a candle placed inside as decorations in the window. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations. Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one’s neighbors and friends, such as ringing door bells, throwing bits of corn on the window panes, and in other ways making minor disturbances. More recently, children come to the door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and guess who they are behind the false faces and receive treats of candy, fruit or cookies. They say, “Trick or treat”, meaning “I will play a trick on you if you do not give me the treat.”
This practice has even more recently developed into a significant international activity. Instead of or along奥鹏福建师范大学新学期作业参考 with candy, the children collect money for UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for needy children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick or Treat”. Begun only recently, it results in several million dollars each year contributed to UNICEF. The collection box is orange, reminiscent of the pumpkin.

7.Regular child care provided outside home or by someone other than the mother does not in itself undermine healthy emotional connections between mothers and their 15-month-old infants, according to a long-term national study. The finding holds even if care begins during the first 3 months after birth and runs for 30 hours or more per week.
Among infants who receive unkind and unresponsive care from their mother, however, the mother-child relationship may be damages. “This research helps us put apart complexities regarding child care that have not previously been studied in detail.” Contends Jay Belsky, a psychologist.
The investigation consists of 1,153 children and their families living in or near Boston. The youngsters, no more than 1 month old when they entered the study in 1991, will be tracked until the age of 7. Experimenters administered questionnaires to mothers in their homes and videotaped baby caretakers interacting with the kids at ages1, 6, and 15 months. Independent observers rated the quality of each child care efforts and noted infant nervousness. Unlike most previous studies, this one allows researchers to observe each caretaker’s personality at child nursing, and kids’ emotional reactions by the equipment.

23.The human nose is an understated tool. Humans are often thought to be insensitive smellers compared with animals, but this is largely because, animals, we stand upright. This means that our noses are limited to perceiving those smells that float through the air, the majority of smells which stick to surfaces. In fact though, we are extremely sensitive to smell, we do not generally realize it. Our noses are capable of detecting human smells even when these are to far below one part in one million.
Strangely, some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another, whereas others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. This may be because some people do not have the genes necessary to generate smell receptors in the nose. These receptors are the cells which sense smells and send messages to the brain. However, it has been found that even people insensitive to a certain smell can suddenly become sensitive to it when exposed to it often enough.
The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to be that brain finds it to keep all smell receptors working all the time but can create new receptors if necessary. This may explain why we are not usually sensitive to our own smells we simply do not need to be. We are not aware of the usual smell of our own house but we new smells when we visit someone else’s. The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors available for unfamiliar and emergency signals the smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire.
