题目内容

Halloween is round the corner. Kids everywhere are counting down the days. Dentists are refilling their printer inks for all those upcoming bills. And parents are left wondering, “Should I let my child enjoy the sweet things in life?”

As a parent and a pediatric (儿科的) dentist, Catherine Robinette has some educated opinions on the matter. According to Robinette, the concern is not the amount of candy, but the frequency. Many parents agree. Rebekah Morris of Cincinnati, Ohio says, “We used to do the ‘three pieces a day until it’s gone’, but I simply got sick of seeing it around the house. So I give the kids three days. And then whatever left will be thrown away.”

If you want it all to be over before the decorations are down, consider the following creative ways to make that candy disappear:

●Invite the Great Pumpkin to your house this Halloween night. Have the kids pile all the sweets they haven’t eaten onto the floor before they go to bed so that the Great Pumpkin can magically turn them into a new toy or set of art supplies.

●Set up a “November 1st Store” in your house. Let kids buy things like movie tickets in exchange for candy.

●Turn this into a charity opportunity for your whole family by taking some candy to your local recreation center or food bank.

●Get creative with glue, and use the candy to decorate the rest of the pumpkins on your doorstep. A sweet-toothed Jack-o-Lantern is bound to bring out some smiles.

●Crush up all the chocolate candy bars and use them to make ice cream sundaes. Or better yet, substitute the “chips” in some chocolate chip cookies, and bake some gifts for your neighbors!

When you’re thinking about what to put in your own bowl this Halloween, Robinette advises going for chocolate. “Candy like M & M’s really does melt in your mouth. That’s so much easier on teeth than sticky things that get stuck there all day.”

Denying your children the sweet treats of the season may prove to have the opposite effect, as forbidden pleasures usually become quite appealing. But finding a middle ground where both parents and kids are happy makes for a happy Halloween!

54. According to Catherine Robinette, _______.

A. kids should never eat candy

C. eating a large amount of candy won’t do great harm

A holiday is any day when people lay aside their ordinary duties and cares. The word came from Old English. At first, holidays honored some holy events or persons. People in Great Britain and other countries speak of holidays as Americans speak of vacations.

Some holidays celebrated special events in the development of a country, such as Greece’s Independence Day, Italy’s Liberation Day and India’s Independence Day.
