万圣节的英语介绍 600字高中英语作文
Halloween originated as a celebration connected with evil spirits。 Witches flying on broomsticks with ghosts， goblins and skeletons have all evolved as symbols of Halloween。 Bats， owls and other nocturnal animals are also popular symbols of Halloween。 They were originally feared because people believed that these creatures could communicate with the spirits of the dead。
Black cats are also symbols of Halloween and have religious origins as well。 Black cats were considered to be reincarnated beings with the ability to pine the future。 During the Middle Ages it was believed that witches could turn themselves into black cats。 Thus when such a cat was seen， it was considered to be a witch in disguise。
All these are popular trick-or-treat costumes and decorations for greeting cards and windows。
Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors， probably because Halloween festivals and traditions took place at night。
Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween。 The pumpkin is an orange-colored squash， and orange has become the other traditional Halloween color。 Carving pumpkins into jack- o'-lanterns is a Halloween custom also dating back to Ireland。 A legend grew up about a man named Jack who was so stingy that he was not allowed into heaven when he died， because he was a miser。
He couldn't enter hell either because he had played jokes on the devil。 As a result， Jack had to walk on the earth with his lantern until Judgement Day。 So Jack and his lantern became the symbol of a lost or damned soul。 To scare these souls away on Halloween， the Irish people carved scary faces out of turnips， beets or potatoes representing "Jack of the Lantern，" or Jack-o-lantern。
When the Irish brought their customs to the United States， they carved faces on pumpkins because in the autumn they were more plentiful than turnips。 Today jack-o-lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there are goodies waiting if they knock and say "Trick or Treat!"
An Exam一次考试英语
One day， we were taking an exam。 The teacher excused herself for a moment。 The classroom was quiet and everyone was busy with his paper。 I did well and smoothly at first， but some time later， I ran into a difficult question。
I used every method but couldn't work it out。 Most of my classmates had finished and handed their papers in。 I got so anxious that I wanted to cheat。 But suddenly there was a voice in my mind saying: "Be honest， never cheat!" At last， I didn't open my book， and I handed it in without answering that question。
Although I didn't get a high score， I won in the moral test。 To be honest is the most important。
Donald was not very good at math。 But what he thought was not to study harder but to cheat in the exams。 In one exam， Donald chose to sit next to Smith， who was always at the top of the class in math。 Donald carefully copied Smith's answers on to his own exam paper。
Days later the results came out。 And the teacher promised to give a prize to the student who got the highest grade。 Although Donald and Smith both got full marks， the teacher gave the prize to Smith。 Donald was angry and said， "That's not fair。
I got the same score as Smith。 ""That's true， "the teacher said， "but you signed the name of Smith on your exam paper。"
一次考试
在一次考试中，老师有事出去了。教室里很安静，大家都在忙着答卷子。起初我答得很顺利，但过了一会儿，我遇到了一道难题，怎么想都想不出来。同学们大多都已经交卷了，我非常着急，想作弊。
可是我脑海里突然有个声音告诉我：“要诚实，永不作弊!”我终于没有打开书。最后，我没答那道题就交卷了。虽然我没有得高分，但我赢得了一次“道德测验”。诚实比高分更重要。

几天后考试结果出来了，老师说要给考得最好的同学一个奖励。唐纳德和史密斯都得了满分，可老师把奖品只给了史密斯。唐纳德生气地说：“这不公平，我和史密斯考得一样高，为什么只给他?“是啊。”老师说，“可你的试卷上写着史密斯的名字呀!”
