【題目】請(qǐng)閱讀下面這篇文章，根據(jù)所提供的信息，完成信息卡。

Halloween is a strange holiday. It started several centuries ago in Europe. It began as “Hallow Evening” meaning “holy night”. At that time November 1st was called “All Saints' Day” and people honoured all the saints who did not have their own special day. People believed that October 31st was the time when all the evil spirits were supposed to be active. So people would play all sorts of pranks on each other.

Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors, probably because Halloween festivals and traditions took place at night.Pumpkins are a symbol of Halloween, so orange has become the other traditional Halloweencolor.Making lanterns out of pumpkins is a Halloween custom.

Halloween is great fun for children.They dress up as ghosts (鬼), witches (女巫), Small children go “TrickorTreating”．They wear costumes, knock on doors, and shout, “Trick or Treat！” People almost always choose to give them candy as a treat, instead of choosing to receive a trick from the children.Adults sometimes “trick or treat” their friends, too.Usually the “treat” is a glass of wine or some small gifts.

【題目】I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in ____ for 17 years, I had no doubt about my ability to hold their attention and to impress on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.

I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “____!”

The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat ______ about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness(尷尬) was over, I quickly regained my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect--- perhaps _____ their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a sense of achievement.

The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. ____her next lecture will be better. Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a ____theme(主題). “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical(哲學(xué)的) framework of Western thought and laid the historical _____ for all the works we’ll study in class.” I complained. “How should they say I didn’t teach them anything?”

It was a long term, and it gradually became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students.
