苏格拉底是古希腊哲学家，被誉为现代西方哲学的奠基人。他是一个迷一般的人物，人们主要

通过后来的--些古典作家的叙述，尤其是他最著名的学生柏拉图的作品去了解他。苏格拉底以

他对伦理学的贡献而闻名。他的教学法亦称为苏格拉底法，即通过提问和回答来激发批判性思

维及阐述观点。该方法在各种讨论中仍被普遍使用。他还在认识和逻辑领域做出了重大而深远

的贡献。他的思想和方法所带来的影响一直是后来西方哲学的坚实基础。苏格拉底是古代哲学

史上最丰富多彩的人物。他在那个时代已经威名远扬。虽然他未曾建立什么哲学体系，未曾设

立什么学派，也未曾创立什么宗派，但他的名字很快就变得家喻户晓了。

圣诞节是一个被广泛庆祝的文化节日，全世界有许许多多的人在12月25日庆祝这一节日。

它是为了纪念耶稣基督的延辰。该节日最早可追溯到公元336年。渐渐地，这一节日演变为一

个既是宗教又是非宗教的节日，越来越多的非基督教徒也庆祝圣诞节。如今圣诞节在全球被

作为一个重大的节日和公共假日来庆祝。不同的国家的圣诞节风俗也各不相同。现代流行的圣

诞节风俗包括交换圣诞贺卡和圣诞物、唱圣诞歌曲、参加交谈活动、摆放各种圣诞装饰品和圣

诞树、举行家庭聚会以及准备一顿特别的大餐。对小孩子们来说，这个节日充满幻想和惊喜。

据传说，圣诞老人会在圣诞夜从烟囱进入每户人家，给乖巧听话的孩子带来礼物。由于圣诞节

送礼物以及许多其他方面推动了基督徒和非基督徒的经济活动，圣诞节也因此成为商家的一个

重要活动和主要销售季。

作为通过中国游历亚洲的首批欧洲人之一一，马可波罗可能

是中国人最熟知的外国商人和航海家。从1271年到1295

年，他和他的家人游历广泛，遍及欧洲和亚洲。期间，他

在中国留居了17年。他的著作《马可波罗游记》描述了他

游历亚洲的旅程，让欧洲人首次全面领略了包括中国，印

度和日本在内的远东地区的情况。从他的文字叙述中，西

方人第一次了解到瓷器、煤炭、火药、印刷术、纸巾以及

丝绸。在15世纪末和16世纪欧洲发现与征服的大航海时

代，马可波罗所记录的大量新的地理信息得到了广泛使

用。在他去世后的这几个世纪里，马可波罗获得了他在有

生之年未曾获得的赞誉。马可波罗的故事鼓舞了其他无数

的探险者去踏上征程，发现世界。
