Lots of people like a good fright at Halloween(萬圣節(jié)). Yet, the most frightening thing of all about the night is that twice as many children are killed while out and about on Halloween compared to any other day of the year, according to a study by Safe Kids Worldwide. It can also be a worrying time for others, especially elderly people living alone. But many people think it’s just harmless fun.
But is it harmless fun?
Police forces across Britain are giving warnings about Halloween night. They are asking all those wishing to celebrate Halloween this year to respect those who don’t want to join in.
Some forces, like West Mercia Police, have produced “Sorry, No Trick or Treat”posters which can be downloaded from their website, and put up in windows. They want people to send them to the old or anyone who may be frightened by ghosts(鬼) knocking on their doors.
A spokesman said: “Children should not call on houses where the posters are put up, neither should they call on strangers, as this can put young people at risk and also make some house owners anxious, especially those who are elderly or living alone.”
The police want all trick or treaters to remember that disturbing other people or throwing objects at their homes or cars are all criminal offences(刑事罪). “What may start off as a bit of fun could end up with someone getting a criminal record,” they warn. “Parents may want to consider having a Halloween party at home, instead.”
Kent Police are warning young people never to go into the home of someone they don’t know—and to remember not to frighten people.
Warwickshire Police are also warning that tricks may seem like harmless fun but can cause trouble to others. They say behaviour such as throwing eggs can quickly cross the line between being anti-social and causing criminal damage. This can result in fines of £2,500 for small offences.
1.The study made by Safe kids Worldwide has found that _________.
A.kids are afraid of Halloween
B.Halloween brings people no fun
C.kids are involved in criminal offences
D.Halloween night puts some kids at risk
2.British police forces are making efforts to _________.

Parents do need to teach their kids financial responsibility and that money is earned. Still, many child-development experts agree that tying a child’s allowance to chores can be a slippery slope. Here’s why.
Susie Walton, master instructor at Peace in Your Home advises to keep chores and allowances totally separate. “Allowance is one thing. When it comes to chores, life skills, responsibilities-that’s a whole different thing.” says Walton.
Walton says, “When kids aren’t doing a chore, you don't say, ‘well, there goes your allowance.’ You’re going to sit them down and ask what’s going on. ‘We are a team. We are a family. We’ve got to have them done.’”
Besides, by paying children for chores with an allowance, you’ll also be sending the message that work isn't worth doing unless they’re getting paid for it.
There are times when it would make sense to pay kids for chores. Most financial and child-development experts agree that it’s a fine idea to pay children money for extra jobs that are outside their normal set of chores, such as washing windows, washing the car or helping to clean out the garage-especially if the child is saving for a big item. This may even develop an entrepreneurial (企業(yè)家的) spirit to think outside of the box to earn money.
For parents who are concerned that their children won’t learn the value of a dollar if the allowance isn’t tied to household chores, note that there are still plenty of money management skills to be learned from a straight allowance. Depending on the age, kids can be made responsible for paying for their own toys or snacks. Some parents even require that kids set aside a percentage of their allowance toward savings.
“I really like having my own money,” says Kevin, 9. “It’s up to me if I want to buy the cheap toy now, or save and get the better toy.” And that’s a good lesson to learn at 9 years old.
No matter which allowance route you take in parenthood, kids will feel empowered by being able to handle their own money.
1.Which of the following would Susie Walton most probably agree with?
A. A child’s allowance shouldn’t be tied to chores.
B. Kids shouldn’t be forced to do chores.
C. Doing chores teaches kids the value of work.
D. Kids should be paid for doing chores.
2.According to Susie Walton, if kids don’t do chores, parents should ________.
A. teach them the entrepreneurial spirit
B. talk to them about family responsibilities.
C. give them a smaller allowance than usual
D. punish them by not giving them their allowances
3.In Paragraph 6, “a straight allowance” probably means “________”.
A. money given by charity organizations
B. money earned by doing part-time jobs.
C. money earned by doing everyday household chores
D. money given by parents and not dependent on chores
4.What is the author’s attitude towards Kevin’s action?
A. Worried. B. Doubtful.
C. Approving. D. Unfavorable.
5.The text is mainly about _____________.
A. the importance of kids doing chores
B. whether parents should pay kids for chores
C. the advantages of kids handling their own money
D. whether parents should give kids regular allowances
