Lots of people like a good fright at Halloween(万圣节). 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.

As anyone who freelances (做自由职业) knows，there are lots of advantages of working at home alone. But there are drawbacks too，like the potential loneliness. No wonder coworking spaces are becoming so popular：they permit selfemployed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment，while making them get some work done too. But renting a coworking space does cost money.
Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s underused homes into temporary coworking spaces，available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great success，and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe，North and South America，Australia，India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free coworking space，or go to find a Hoffice near them.
On a Hoffice day，everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minutes，everyone gets up to take a break，stretch，do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards，people can gather around again，and restate their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day，as a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour，potluckstyle (家常饭) or by bringing your own lunch.
This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe，“By working at Hoffice，we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment，where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm，happy，inspired and creative during the working day.”
So Hoffice is not just about sharing space；it’s also about a free exchange of ideas. And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use.
1.What does the underlined word “drawbacks” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.mistakes B.disadvantages
C.difficulties D.burdens
2.What do we know about Hoffice according to the text?
A.It is becoming increasingly popular.
B.It has been around for quite a few years.
C.It has created many new job opportunities.
D.It is suitable for people from all walks of life.
3.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.How people respond to Hoffice.
B.How a Hoffice day works.
C.What people share at Hoffice.
D.What Hoffice means to people.
4.Some freelancers’ descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they .
A.benefit a lot from the working style
B.work longer than before
C.expect more people to join them
D.can’t be separated from each other

Sport is very popular in England. In other words lots of English people like the idea of sport. A lot watch sport on TV. But the number who take part in sport is quite small.

Football is played on Saturday afternoon in most towns and the supporters of a certain team will travel from one end of the country to the other to see their team play.

US people are overweight, eat lots of fast food and fill their homes with pets. At least that’s what 21 European teenagers think.
The students, 18 from Germany and 3 from France, are exchange students. They are studying in the US for a year. After a few days in the US, they said what they thought about the country.
Most talked about the amount of fast food US people eat. It’s not that the students don’t eat fast food. They just don’t eat as much.
Laetitia Villeneuve from France said she eats fast food, usually McDonald’s, only once or twice a year.
“I like it,” said Nora Koeberle from Germany. “But I couldn’t eat it every day. I’d get fat.”
Students are surprised at how big US people seem.
“There are fat people in Germany,” said Antonia Greimel from Germany. “But not as many as there are here.”
They also spoke about the animals. Silvana Wolfram from Germany said she had heard about how people had lots of pets in the US.
Other ways of US high schools interested the students.
For example, Koeberle said she wouldn’t be able to play an instrument or sports as part of her classes in Germany. She can in the US.
But the best thing about US high schools is something the European kids can’t get back home. “I do wish we had parties,” Koeberle said.
1.Where do the 21 students come from?
A. Germany and France. B. Germany and England.
C. France and Greece. D. England and Greece.
