The Origin of Christmas
Christmas Day-December 25-which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the founder of the Christian religion, is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the United States.
According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to allow his only son, Jesus Christ, to be born to a human mother and live on earth so that people could understand God better and learn to love God and each other more. Christmas- meaning celebration of Christ - honors the time when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman Mary.
圣诞起源
12月25日的圣诞节是庆祝基督教创始人耶稣基督生日的日子，是美国最大、人们最喜爱的节日。
据基督教徒的圣书《圣经》说，上帝决定让他的独生子耶稣基督投生人间，找个母亲，然后就在人间生活，以便人们能更好地了解上帝、学习热爱上帝和更好地相互热爱。“圣诞节”的意思是“庆祝基督”，庆祝一个年轻的犹太妇女玛丽娅生下耶稣的时刻。

A man and his girlfriend were married。
It was a large celebration。 一个男人和他的女朋友结婚，举行了一场盛大的结婚庆典。
All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations。 All had a wonderful time。
所有的朋友和家人都来到结婚典礼上参加欢宴和庆祝活动。大家都过得很开心。
The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo。 Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true。
穿着白色婚纱的新娘漂亮迷人，穿着黑色礼服的新郎英俊潇洒。每个人都能看出他们彼此的爱是真诚的。
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal, "I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage," she offered。 "Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person。
Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together。 " 几个月后，妻子走近丈夫提议说：“我刚才在杂志上看到一篇文章，说的是怎样巩固婚姻。”
她说：“我们两个人都各自把对方的小毛病列在一张纸上，然后我们商量一下怎样解决，以便使我们的生活更幸福。” The husband agreed。
So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other。 They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with。
丈夫同意了。于是他们各自走向不同的房间去想对方的缺点。
那一天余下的时间里，他们都在思考这个问题，并且把他们想到的都写下来。 The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists。
第二天早上，吃早饭的时候，他们决定谈谈彼此的缺点。 "I'll start," offered the wife。
She took out her list。 It had many items on it, enough to fill 3 pages。
In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes。 “我先开始吧。”
妻子说。她拿出她的单子，上面列举了很多条，事实上，足足写满了三页。
当她开始念的时候，她注意到丈夫眼里含着泪花。 "What's wrong?" she asked。
"Nothing," the husband replied, "keep reading your list。 " “怎么啦？”她问。
“没什么，”丈夫答道，“继续念吧。” The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband。
She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it。 妻子又接着念。
整整三页都念完之后她把单子整齐地放在桌上，两手交叉放在上面。 "Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists," she said happily。
“现在该你念了，然后我们谈谈所列举的缺点。 ”她高兴地说。
Quietly the husband stated, "I don't have anything on my list。 I think that you are perfect the way that you are。
I don't want you to change anything for me。 You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you。
" 丈夫平静地说：“我什么也没写，我觉得像你这样就很完美了，我不想让你为我改变什么。你很可爱迷人，我不想让你改变。”
The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept。 妻子被丈夫的诚实和对她深深的爱和接纳感动了，她转过头去哭起来。
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed。 We don't really have to go looking for them。
We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise。 Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wondrous things before us？ 生命中我们有很多的失望、沮丧和烦恼，我们根本不需要寻找。
我们美妙的世界充满了美丽、光明、希望。但是，当我们放眼四周时，为什么浪费时间寻找不快、失望和烦恼，而看不到我们面前的美好事物呢？。

6.《每天读点世界历史》读后感
“书是精神的巢穴，是生命的禅床”，这是余秋雨说过的一句话，也是我内心的写照。书是拉近了时间的省略号、是缩短了地域的逗号、还是那一段又一段的分号，总之，书将是我一生中最好的朋友。
鸟瞰古今中外，仔细研究历史的价值，你会发现，不同的人看历史的角度是不同的，较肤浅的人会认为历史只是一本老少皆宜的童话书；稍微知识渊博的人会认为历史是一本“四库全书”；而我却认为历史是一瓶香槟，一颗五彩的芝士，是我的良师益友。贯穿历史的时空，意大利的政治风暴让我明白了政坛的残酷；中东的战火教我明白了这个利益纷争的世界；“巴巴罗沙”德军的闪电战更让我牢牢记住了先下手为强的道理。是的，历史是前辈留给我们的照妖镜，是前辈给我们检讨书。你看，历史上那些有名的皇帝们哪个不是善于听取大臣们的意见才成功的。像唐宗宋祖、一代天骄成吉思汗，还有汉武大帝等等。而相反，像纣王那些一意孤行的暴君，换来的却是人们的千古讨骂。所以，我们在读历史的同时，不能只是简单的关注其中的情节，而是要仔细地琢磨一个事件、一个朝代兴亡的原因和规律。避免历史的悲剧在我们身上重演。
在所读的众多历史故事中，请允许我摘抄一幅我情有独钟的片段。这幅片段的名字叫《犹太王国的劫难》。话说爱公元前722年，亚述帝圹张的脚步踏上了以色列国土，他们占领了撒马利亚城，以色列遭到了第一次灭国。公元前583年，尼布甲尼二世大军再次将耶路撒冷团团围住，犹太人的抵抗并没有起到作用，三年后，犹太民族惨遭第二次灭国，巴比伦军队血洗了耶路撒冷，并且还将全部战俘一同运回国去，着就是有名的“巴比伦之囚”。虽然这样，几经磨难的犹太民族并没有失去信心，在一批又一批的犹太人的努力下，他们终于实现了复国之梦。这个故事看起来是简短的，但是他给我的启示却是宛如那一江春水一样，留之不尽。每当我心情低落或是想放弃时候，我总是会暗示我自己，不要放弃，犹太民族那么艰难的处境都能走出来，我这点处境又算得了什么呢？所以，在读完这个历史故事后，我始终保持一种乐观上进的心态。
历史，古文明的殿堂；历史，天涯海角的回音。让我们品读历史，研究历史，欣赏历史吧！
