A
From the age of seven，Cameron was educated at two independent schools.Due
to good academic grades，Cameron entered the top academic class almost two years
early.At the age of thirteen ，he went to Eton College in Berkshire ，following his
father and elder brother.His early interest was in art.Six weeks before taking his O
Level he was caught smoking cannabis (大麻)．He admitted the offence but had not
been involved in selling drugs，so he was not expelled.However，he was fined and
prevented from leaving school grounds.
After leaving Eton in 1984，Cameron started a ninemonth gap year.He worked
as a researcher for Tim Rathbone.In his three months there ，he attended debates in
the House of Commons.Through his father，he was then employed for a further three
months in Hong Kong by Jardine Matheson as a “ship jumper” ，which was an
administrative post.
Cameron then began his Bachelor of Arts studies in Philosophy ，Politics，and
Economics at Brasenose College，Oxford.His tutor described him as one of the ablest
students he had taught，with moderate and sensible Conservative political views.
Guy Spier ，who shared a tutor with him ，remembers him as an outstanding
student ， “ We were doing our best to grasp basic economic
concepts.However ，nobody even came close to Cameron.He would be integrating
them with the way the British political system is put together.He could have lectured
me for it，and I would have sat there and taken notes.”
While at Oxford ，Cameron was a member of the excellent student dining
society，the Bullingdon Club，which has a reputation for a strange drinking culture
associated with boisterous (狂放不羁的) behavior and damaging property. Cameron
graduated in 1988 with a firstclass honours degree.

Since the 800's ，November 1st is a holiday known as All Saints' Day.The
evening before is known as Halloween.During the festival ，poor people would beg
for food and families would give them “soul cakes” in return for their promise to pray
for the family's dead relatives.
Halloween，however，has a special meaning for children today，who dress in
funny or ghostly clothes and knock at neighborhood doors shouting “Trick or
Treat！” Princesses ， ghosts _and_witches all hold bags open to catch the candies or
cakes that the neighbors drop in.
Today school dances and neighborhood parties called“block parties”are popular
among the young people and old.They dress up as historical or political figures and go
to costume parties. Teenagers enjoy costume dances at their schools and the more
outrageous the costume is，the better it is.
Certain tricks such as soaping car windows and knocking at the neighbors'
windows are expected.But parties and pranks are not the only things that
Halloweeners enjoy doing.Some collect money to buy food and medicine for poor
children around the world.

Halloween originated as a celebration connected with evil spirits.Black is one of
the traditional Halloween colors ，probably because Halloween festivals and
traditions took place at night. In the weeks before October 31 ，Americans decorate
windows of houses and schools with silhouettes (轮廓) of witches and black cats.
Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween.Carving pumpkins into some kinds of
lanterns is a Halloween custom also dating back to Ireland.When the Irish brought
their customs to the United States，they carved faces on pumpkins instead of turnips
(芜菁) because in the autumn they were more plentiful than turnips.Today the lanterns
in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there
are candies (糖果) waiting for them if they knock and say “Trick or Treat！”
5．According to the passage ，why did the Irish choose pumpkins instead of
turnips?
A．Because pumpkins were much cheaper.
B．Because in the autumn there were more pumpkins.
