閱讀下面的短文，判斷正（T）誤（F）。

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year．It means“holy evening”，and it comes every October 31，the evening before All Saints' Day．However，it's not really a church holiday； it's a holiday for children．

Every autumn，when the vegetables are ready to eat，children pick large orange pumpkins．Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put lights inside．It looks like there is a person looking out of the pumpkin！These lights are called jack-o'-lanterns，which means“Jack of the lantern”．

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween．Some children paint their faces to look like monsters．Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house．Every time they come to a new house，they say，“Trick or treat！Money or eat！”The adults put a treat—money or candy—in their bags．

Some children think of other people on Halloween．They carry boxes for UNICEF （The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund）．They ask for money to help poor children all around the world．Of course，every time they help UNICEF，they usually receive a treat for themselves，too．

參考譯文

美國人每年秋天都要在萬圣節(jié)前夜舉行慶?；顒?。萬圣節(jié)前夜的意思是“眾神之夜”。這一節(jié)日的時(shí)間在每年的10月31日，也就是萬圣節(jié)前一天的晚上。然而，它實(shí)際上不是什么宗教節(jié)日，而是兒童的節(jié)日。

每年秋天蔬菜快要成熟的時(shí)候，孩子們都會摘下大個的橙色南瓜。他們在南瓜上刻出人臉，并在里面放上燈?？坛傻臇|西就像一個人在南瓜里面朝外看！這些燈被稱為jack-o'-latern，也就是“杰克燈籠”的意思。

每到這一天，孩子們還會戴上奇怪的面具，穿上嚇人的服裝。有些孩子把臉繪成妖怪的形狀，拿著箱子或袋子挨門逐戶討東西。每當(dāng)他們來到一戶人家，他們就會說：“要么給錢，要么給吃的！不給就搗亂！”大人就把款待他們的東西——錢或糖果——放進(jìn)他們的袋子里。

有些孩子在過節(jié)時(shí)還能想到他人。他們拿著箱子為聯(lián)合國兒童基金會籌款。他們籌款是為了幫助世界各地的貧困兒童。當(dāng)然，每次他們幫助聯(lián)合國兒童基金會時(shí)，自己通常也會受到款待。
