The passage describes early jack-o'-lanterns made from carved turnips, the later switch to pumpkins in North America, and how different regions adapt the holiday, including traditions in Ireland, Scotland, the UK, Japan, and Germany.

That is Halloween, celebrated each October 31st, and it looks wildly different depending on where you stand. In one town you might see kids in superhero costumes hauling pillowcases of candy, while in another you find carved turnips glowing on a windowsill. The night sounds like doorbells, crunching leaves, and the rustle of plastic capes. How did one autumn tradition end up wearing so many different faces?  \nThe answer starts far from the American porches you might picture, in the  \nmisty hills of Ireland and Scotland. More than two thousand years ago, the Celts held a festival called Samhain to mark the end of the harvest and the start of winter's dark half. People told stories that on that night the line between the living and the dead grew thin, so they lit bonfires and wore disguises to blend in with any wandering spirits. They also carved scary faces into turnips and set candles inside them, a spooky ancestor of the pumpkin on your steps. Believe it or not, the very first jack-o'-lanterns were vegetables you might refuse to eat for dinner!  \nThose glowing turnips crossed the Atlantic in the suitcases and memories of Irish and Scottish immigrants in the 1800s. When they reached North America, they found pumpkins, which were bigger, softer, and far easier to carve than a stubborn turnip. The switch stuck, and today the United States and Canada are famous for pumpkin patches, haunted houses, and trick-or-treating from door to door. According to a National Retail Federation survey, candy, costumes and decorations make Halloween one of the biggest spending holidays of the year in the United States. One invention, the roomy pumpkin, quietly reshaped a custom that had traveled thousands of miles.  \nBack across the ocean, the holiday's birthplace kept some traditions the American version left behind. In parts of Ireland and Scotland, families still bake a fruity bread called barmbrack with small tokens hidden inside, where finding a ring supposedly hints at what your future holds. In the United Kingdom, an older custom called souling and later \"guising\" had children sing or perform a trick in exchange for a treat, an idea you can hear echoing in \"trick-or-treat. \" So the phrase you shout at doorways is really a distant cousin of a song sung centuries ago.  \nHalloween keeps collecting new fans, and some of its newest are half a world away.  \nIn Japan, Halloween has become a costume-and-parade event popular with teens and adults, especially in busy city districts like Tokyo's Shibuya, more about dressing up than knocking on doors. In Germany, stores now sell pumpkins and costumes, though many people there still keep the older, quieter days of remembrance in early November. These newer celebrations show how a holiday can arrive somewhere andreshape itself to fit the people who adopt it.  \nIt is easy to lump every autumn holiday together, but that would be a mistake. Mexico's Day of the Dead, with its marigolds and family altars, and Japan's summer Obon are their own celebrations with their own  \nmeanings, not versions of Halloween. Even All Souls' Day, observed by many Christians, is a separate day set aside to remember those who have died. Halloween itself is a patchwork stitched from Celtic bonfires, immigrant suitcases, and a pumpkin that happened to be easier to carve than a turnip.  \nHalloween Around the World  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) On what date is Halloween celebrated according to the passage?\u003Cbr>A.
