V.  Read the text and answer the following questions.  (2 pts. )

Americans celebrate Halloween on October 31.  Halloween means “holy” (hallow “evening” (een).  This is the evening before the Christian holy day of All Saints Day. Before Christianity, people in Europe believed that on October 31 ghosts of dead people came back.  To scare the ghosts, people dressed like devils.  Later, people did not believe in ghosts, but they kept the day of Halloween for fun.

Immigrants came from Europe to America and brought with them the custom of Halloween.  Halloween has some strange symbols.  One symbol is the jack-o’-lantern in the window.  The jack-o’-lantern is to scare the ghosts.  People cut the pumpkin, throw away all of the inside, and cut a face in it.  Then they put a candle inside of it.  Jack-o’-lantern usually looks scary, too!
