阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Halloween (万圣节) is a holiday widely celebrated with different names in many countries. It has now lost its religious connections and is celebrated largely as a children's day in the United States.
In recent years, on this day, children come to the door to have friends and neighbours admire their costumes and guess who they are behind the false faces and receive treats of candy, fruit or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat", meaning, “I will play a trick on you if you do not give me a treat."
More recently , this practice has even developed into a significant international activity. Instead of candy, the children collect money for UNICEF(联合国国际儿童紧急救援基金). This special collection of money by children for needy children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick or Treat". Begun only recently, it results in several million dollars each year contributed to UNICEF. The collection box is orange, reminiscent (引人联想的) of the pumpkin.

From the passage we know that in recent years in the United States, Halloween has developed into a significant international activity, when children collect money for needy children throughout the world for UNICEF.
After reading the passage, I feel quite comforted that Halloween has developed into significant international activity to collect money for the poor children around the world. In this way I am sure more and more poor children, especially those in Africa and Asia, will be given financial aid and live a better and better life.
As for me, I will donate my pocket money to the poor children around me. Also I will try my best to persuade people around me to show their loving hearts for the needy children.
In my view, to help poor children , joint efforts from charities, enterprises and individuals are needed. First of all, charities should collect money for the needy children. Besides, enterprises and individuals should do what they can to provide support. What’s more, the United Nations should do its best to help the poor countries to develop their economy so that there are less and less poor children.

A. The most common problem is a “wandering” mind B. Selective listening is also a mental barrier C. Listening isn’t an easy skill to master D. Attitude can also influence good listening E. Noise and background music makes listening more difficult F. Listening is also related to the level of the listener’s knowledge |
1._____________
Listening is not as easy as someone thought. Even good listeners may recall only fifty percent of what they hear. Retention, the ability to remember and recall information, decreases about twenty to twenty-five percent after a few days. So no matter how well you listen in class, you’re always going to have to refresh your memory before a test! Unfortunately, many people have poor listening habits, and little listening training. To improve your listening skills, it’s important to understand what causes poor listening.
2.___________
If you find it difficult to concentrate solely on what a speaker is saying, there’s a good reason. The mind processes information much faster than a speaker can speak. The brain can process over 500 words per minute, while the average speaker talks at a rate of 124 to 250 words per minute. That means the mind can hear what’s being said and can think about something else at the same time.
3.____________
If you have a negative idea about the speaker or the topic, you’ll find it difficult to listen attentively. Hostile or captive audiences often have more difficultly listening than do favorable or voluntary ones.
4.____________
If a speaker speaks “above the heads” of an audience, people find it difficult to concentrate. Speakers who use unfamiliar words or who use incomplete explanations make it more difficult to listen. Speakers who “speak down” to audiences, failing to acknowledge what the audience already knows, also create mental blocks.
5.___________
When people listen selectively, they simply block out what they don’t want to hear. For instance, many people have habits that are dangerous to their health, like smoking. However, they often choose to block out what a speaker says about health risks. They may listen to a speech and think that the speaker’s message applies to other people, not them. In other words, they hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don’t want to hear.
