  Halloween is a festival (节日) celebrated on October 31st. The name of the holiday means“hallowed”or“holy evening”because it happens the day before All Saints Day (万圣节) . It is said that Halloween is the children's New Year's Eve. They dress up with special costumes(服装), they eat too much, and stay up too late celebrating.

  Children go around the neighborhood wearing make-up, and dress in masks(面具) and colorful costumes. The most common costumes are witches, ghosts, skeletons (骷髅) , and popular TV, movie, and storybook characters. Some costumes are homemade; others are bought in stores. The children go from door to door saying“trick or treat”. People give them candy, cookies, fruit or money. Sometimes money is collected to help UNICEF, United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund.

  Homes, stores, and classrooms are decorated (装饰) in the traditional Halloween colours, orange and black. Usual decorations are witches, ghosts, skeletons, and jack-o-lanterns.

  Adults and older children also celebrate Halloween with parades (游行), festivals, and costume parties. Some people create their costumes; other people rent them. Contests are held, where the best costume receives a prize. One of the party events popular with children is dunking (浸泡) for apples. Apples are put in tubs filled with water.

  Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal.In some ways, however, very little has changed.Ideas about social class whether a person is “working-class” or “middle-class” are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.

  In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors.As a result of this and also of the fact that workers’ jobs were generally much less secure, distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence.The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then give them to his wife, leaving a little for drinking or betting.

  The type of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth.He was and still is likely to take a longer-term view.Not only did he regard buying a house to provide him and his family with security.Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity(or the education and training)to make such long-term plans.

  Nowadays, much has changed.In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much.Social security and laws have made it less necessary than before to worry about “tomorrow”.Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority(自卑感)they had in the past.In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.

  The changes in both life-styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen among younger people.They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes.They spend their money enjoying themselves, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary.There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations.Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid and the low-paid.As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new problems will appear between different groups.

(1)
