people Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year One of the 4 reasons people love it so much is that you get presents But like presents Christmas needs to be unwrapped so that you can understand the true meaning behind the day Many Chinese believe everyone in Western countries celebrate this holiday That is not true Christmas is an important religious holiday for Christians December 25 represents the birthday of Jesus Christ who Christians believe is the son of God Christianity 基督教 is a very popular religion in America and Europe However there are many other religions too People who celebrate those religions don t celebrate Christmas But during the winter season they usually have their own important holiday That is why when talking to a foreigner it is safer to say Happy holidays instead of Merry Christmas because you never know his her religious background The image of a fat happy man in red Santa Claus has come to represent the idea of goodness and love instead of religious part or the Christmas spirit Santa Claus is based on a man named Saint Nicholas who was a 4th century Greek Christian Saint Nicholas bought presents for children and gave them away anonymously 匿名地 This is where the idea of gift on Christmas began But the Santa Claus didn t exist until the 19th century when an American named Thomas Nast drew cartoons of him So really Santa has nothing to do with the religious holiday In fact some people who celebrate Christmas don t really care about Santa Claus Christmas is a special day for Christians but the ideas of being good and loving your neighbors are not limited to Christianity So buy a gift for your friend tell your mother you love her and have merry Christmas I mean Happy holidays 56 Christians believe December 25

wonderful time of the year B The Westerners have different religious backgrounds C Some like to say Merry Christmas and others like to say Happy holidays D Being good and loving our neighbors are the virtues of all humans 59 What is the CORRECT explanation of Santa Claus A He was a Greek Christian in the 4th century B He was an American who was born in the 19th century C His image represents the Christmas spirit D He was a cartoon figure drawn by Thomas Nast B B Have you ever heard the story of the four minute miles Many years ago people believed that it was impossible for a human being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it wrong in 1954 What happens if you put an animal in a pond Any animal big or small will swim its way through What happens when someone who doesn t know how to swim falls in deep water They were drown If an animal who has not learnt swim could escape by swimming Why not you Because you believe you will drown while the animal doesn t Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on your keyboard You might have thought it is to increase the typing speed Most people never questioned it But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the typing speed at a time when typewriter parts you jam if the operator 6 typed too fast These three cases show the power of our beliefs There is no other more powerful force in human behavior than belief Your beliefs have the power to create and to destroy A belief delivers command to your nervous system I used a snake in my workshop for children to show them how unrealistic some of their beliefs are Students of a school in India said snakes are slippery and slimy and poisonous After doing an exercise for changing beliefs they took my snake and found it to be dry and clean They also remembered that only three types of poisonous snakes exist in India Did this story end the way you thought Review your beliefs now and find out which ones

the wind the fireplace so shallow it holds only one log the kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by It is where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed I lived there for only 18 but it will always be my true home Even the lamp in the west living room window which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night still shines While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting home is whom you re with not where you are As Edwards writes Home is family Home is safety Home is faith 69 What would be the best

more than in 2004 according to Halifax Boys were more likely to be Internet shoppers than girls with 60 percent of boys saying they had bought items online compared with just 46 percent of girls
