But in dozens of countries, November 1 and 2 are something else entirely: two quiet days set aside to remember people who have died. Picture a cemetery glowing gold after dark, thousands of tiny flames flickering over the graves like a field of fallen stars. This is All Saints'Day and All Souls' Day, and for millions of families it is one of the most meaningful times of the whole year.  \nThose flames you imagined burn brightest in Poland, where All Souls' Day is called Zaduszki. On the evening of November 1, families crowd into cemeteries to scrub headstones, arrange chrysanthemums, and light candles inside little glass lanterns called znicze. Some large cemeteries hold so many candles that the glow can be seen for miles, and the air smells of melting wax and cold autumn leaves. Rather than being sad or scary, it feels calm and warm, like a whole nation stepping outside together to say, \"We haven't forgotten you. \"  \nThat idea of gathering as one enormous family travels halfway around the world to the Philippines, where the holiday is known as Undas. There, All Saints' Day can look almost like a giant reunion picnic: families spend hours, sometimes the entire day, beside the graves of their relatives. They bring folding chairs, food, card games, and even guitars, turning a solemn visit into a celebration of the people they loved. Roads fill with traffic as millions of Filipinos travel home, making it one of the busiest travel periods of the country's year.  \nFlowers do much of the talking on these days, especially in France and Italy, where families carry armfuls of chrysanthemums to the cemetery. In France the connection is so strong that many people would never give chrysanthemums as an ordinary gift, because the blooms belong to the dead. The custom grew out of a much older Christian tradition: All Saints' Day honors saints, and the day after honors ordinary souls who have died. Both days trace back more than a thousand years, long before anyone was handing out chocolate on doorsteps.  \nWhy should any of this matter to you, halfway across the map from a Polish cemetery? Because it shows that people everywhere share the same wish to remember and honor those they've lost, even when the customs look completely different. All Souls' Day is not \"someone else's Halloween\"; it is its own holiday, with its own meaning, and it sits quietly beside Halloween on the calendar without competing with it. So the next time the calendar flips to November, remember that while some people are counting candy, others are lighting a sea of candles for the people they miss.  \nAll Souls' Day Around the World  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is the central idea the passage develops?\u003Cbr>A.
