The tradition is far older than any candy bar or costume shop, stretching back more than two thousand years to an ancient festival called Samhain. People in what is now Ireland, Scotland, and Britain celebrated it at the end of autumn, when they believed the line between the living world and the spirit world grew thin. To move safely through that spooky night, some folks wore disguises made of animal skins and dark clothing, hoping that any wandering spirits would mistake them for one of their own.  \nThose clever disguises eventually turned into a lively neighborhood game called guising. In Scotland and Ireland, children would dress up and go door to door, but here's the catch: they had to earn their treats first. A young guiser might sing a song, tell a joke, or recite a poem before anyone handed over nuts, fruit, or coins. If that sounds familiar, it should, because guising is the great-greatgrandparent of the trick-or-treating you do today.  \nWhen people carried this custom across the ocean, American Halloween costumes got their start at homemade parties. In the early 1900s, families didn't run to a store for an outfit; instead, they stitched, glued, and painted their own from whatever was lying around the house. A bedsheet became a ghost, a burlap sack became a scarecrow, and a little paint turned an ordinary face into something wonderfully strange. These costumes were rough and one of a kind, and no two children on the block ever looked quite the same.  \nThat do-it-yourself spirit began to fade in the 1930s, when the first mass-made costumes and masks appeared in stores. Companies started selling ready-to-wear outfits so that a family could simply buy a witch or a clown instead of building one. Soon after, the movies and television changed the game completely, and kids wanted to become the characters they saw on the screen. Suddenly a neighborhood could fill up with superheroes, princesses, and cartoon favorites, all bought straight off the shelf.  \nThose screen-inspired costumes are still shaping what you'll see on Halloween night today. According to a National Retail Federation survey, some of the most popular costumes in recent years have included witches, superheroes, and characters from favorite movies. Millions of Americans now dress up each year, and plenty of adults and even pets join the fun in their own outfits. It's a strange and wonderful thought that a costume you buy today began with people long ago pulling on animal skins to fool the spirits of the night!  \nThe History of Halloween Costumes  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) Which statement best summarizes the whole passage?\u003Cbr>A.
