Halloween: A Special Celebration
Who doesn’t like playing pranks on people or eating candy? Halloween is the one day each year when it’s OK to play tricks on others and get loads of sweet treats. People in the United States and in other countries celebrate Halloween by dressing in costumes, attending parties, and going trick-or-treating.

Halloween is celebrated on October 31. This is the day before the religious holiday All Saints Day, which was once known as All Hallows. October 31 was often called “All Hallows’ Eve.” Over time, this name was shortened to Halloween. All Saints Day marks the memory of saints and other people who have died. At first, the celebration consisted of a prayer service dedicated to the dead. The prayer service was followed by a small offering at the dead person’s tomb or grave. People traditionally spent the day praying and mourning for the souls of those who had died.

However, Halloween is celebrated differently today. Dressed like witches, wizards, and goblins, children go from house to house trick-or-treating for candy. They also participate in Halloween activities such as carving pumpkins, bobbing for apples, and watching scary movies.

Halloween celebrations aren’t limited to kids. Many adults celebrate by dressing in costume to attend Halloween parties. Others walk through “haunted” houses and other scary places.

Halloween is more than a one-day holiday. The celebration can continue throughout the month of October. It’s a holiday that allows people of all ages to dress up, go to haunted places, and play pranks. It’s not serious or sad, unlike the traditional celebrations. For this reason, most people enjoy Halloween celebrations more these days.

Golden Days

by Lizzie Lawson

There are days of summer sunshine,
Of warm and sunny weather,
When the hedge is full of hawthorn
And hills are glad with heather.

There are days of silent sadness,
Of frost, and snow, and rain,
When we fear that summer's gladness
Will never come again.

And now our songs are minor key,
And now in merry tune;
The windward side will change to lee,
And January to June.

Day and night the sun is shining,
Though he may hide his head;
Each cloud has a silver lining,
The flowers are asleep not dead.

Every day may have its playtime
Made bright by cheerful lays;
And life be one long Maytime,
A year of golden days.

Read the excerpt from "Opening Ceremonies of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge" by Hon. Seth Low, Mayor of the City of Brooklyn.

Which of the following best summarizes the central idea of this excerpt?


In the course of the construction of the Bridge a number of lives have been lost.

Let us give our meed of praise to-day to the humblest workman who has here done his duty well, no less than to the great engineer who told him what to do.
