麦琪的礼物英语阅读理解（汇编20篇）

There is no exact definition of the word happiness. Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. The key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures, who are extremely happy.

Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend. But staying happy is an accomplishment, a triumph of soul and character. It is not selfish to strive for it. It is, indeed, a duty to ourselves and others.

Being unhappy is like an infectious disease. It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer. He soon finds himself alone, miserable and embittered. There is, however, a cure so simple as to seem, at first glance, ridiculous; if you dont feel happy, pretend to be!

It works. Before long you will find that instead of repelling people, you attract them. You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will.

Then the make-believe becomes a reality. You possess the secret of peace of mind, and can forget yourself in being of service to others.

Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends.

Packaging is a very important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate people to buy products. For example, a little child might ask for a breakfast food contained in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy products - or to ask their parents to buy for them.

Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.

The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has"Economy Size"or"Family Size"printed on it. This suggests that the larger size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find it out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.

The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.

[英语作文一个特别的礼物

I like reading very much because reading is the ladder of human progress. What’s more, reading brings us not only endless fun but also opportunities.

There are many available books for us to choose from, like history books, science books, literary books and so no. But what interests me most in history books---over the long course of history, the Chinese nation has witnessed changes of dynasties, transfers of governments, and foreign powers in modern history. This makes me realize the great responsibility of the development of the motherland. Therefore, we should study hard for the rise of the Chinese.

I sincerely hope that everyone can absorb more nutrients and cultivate a more noble character through reading.

今天读了《欧

亨利短篇小说选》中的《麦琪的礼物》，这个故事看上去很平凡，也许还会觉得两个主人公很“傻”。但就是这么一个普普通通的故事，蕴藏了一个......

在圣诞节的前一天，主人公德拉想给丈夫吉姆一个圣诞节惊喜，送给丈夫一个配金表的金链，可是自己只有一元五角七分，钱根本不够，但德拉为了给吉姆买他梦寐以求的金表表链，德拉把自己一头美丽的瀑布般的秀发卖了，买了给吉姆的礼物。而吉姆也想在圣诞节给德拉一个惊喜，看中了一个可以配德拉美丽瀑布般的秀发的梳子，但他没有钱去买这件礼物，他做出的决定和德拉一样，牺牲自己卖掉自己珍贵的金表，去换那个梳子。但最后配梳子的头发没有了，陪金链的金表没有了。他们都为对方舍弃了自己最宝贵的东西，而换来的礼物却因此变得毫无作用了。

有人会认为他们很傻，极不明智地为了对方而牺牲了他们最最宝贵的东西。麦琪是聪明人，聪明绝顶的人，由于他是聪明人，他的礼物也是聪明的礼物。而故事的主人公吉姆和德拉，虽然极不明智地为了对方而牺牲了他们最最宝贵的东西，但是他们无论在任何地方，他们都是最聪明的人。

世界需要爱，需要奉献。爱是美丽的，每一个人心中都因该充满了爱，对父母，对生活的爱，这种是来自人与人之间的真挚的爱!因为有爱，人类的生存才有了价值，有了光辉和温暖!只要人人献出一点爱，世界将变成美好人间!

拿起一本书，读到里面的句子，有几句我还满喜欢，满留恋的。

如：树的方向，由风决定;人的方向，自己决定。所以，我一定要——以今日之我，胜昨日之我;以明日之我，胜今日之我!

不错，命运是掌握在自己手中，只有自己能去主宰它。

同时，珍惜好每一天的一分一秒，不要让自己觉得过得不充实，也不要毫无目标的生存着，这是我所感受到的，也在时刻的自我提醒。

读到了丁远峙着的《方与圆》中的内容，有一句是这么写的：人生成功的金钥匙就是相信自己，勇敢行动，对人生、事业怀有无比的热忱，如果你把握了这三把金钥匙，那么成功之路就展现在你眼前……

这一句话将成为我的座右铭之一，虽然我还在读书，但距离工作已是近在咫尺了，所以我要努力，为自己的人生铺一条成功的道路。

林怡静

望窗外，夜空下，只有几盏灯孤零零地亮着，有时，会有微风轻轻拂过……

我倚在窗台上，注视着不远处餐桌上那碗鸡汤。那碗鸡汤，“冒”着热气，带着浓浓的海蛎味，表面的那层油在灯的照射下闪着些许金光……过了一会儿，一位系着围裙的妇人——我的母亲走进厨房，望见了那碗未动的鸡汤和我的愁眉苦脸，无奈地摇了摇头，说道：“去睡吧。”话音刚落，我便迅速离开了厨房，而，她正收拾着。

第二日，一如既往，我早起上学，她为我准备早餐。但，在出门时，不经意间，我注意到了她的疲惫和苦恼的神情，不禁心生愧疚。可，不一会儿，那种浓郁的海蛎味又涌上心头，驱散了“愧疚”。

上午放学后，我突然记起那日是感恩节，便到花店买了一束康乃馨。回到家，我怀着期待，把花递给她，她微笑着收下了。可，我发现那微笑转瞬即逝……

一天的学习终于结束——晚自习下课了，我收好书包，离开教室，匆匆前行，回家。忽然，我在不经意间看到了一位母亲和她的女儿，坐在微弱灯光下的石椅上。我停住了脚步，那个女孩手中端着一碗汤，眉头紧锁，嘴巴合了又开，开了又合……许久，她好像终于鼓起勇气，用手将那碗刚移至嘴旁，然后，缓缓张开嘴，将那碗汤一饮而尽。终于，汤喝完了，她低着头，皱着眉头，嘴巴也紧闭着，好像十分难受。可，过了一会儿，她又舒展眉头，睁开双眼，抬起头，向着她的母亲，浅浅地笑了，她的母亲原本紧张的神情也终于消散，露出了微笑。那一刻，一股暖流悄无声息地在我的心间流淌着。而后，我好像突然想起了什么，加快了回家的步伐。

回到家，我发现：餐桌上竟放着一碗新鲜的鸡汤和一只勺子。我鼓起勇气，走到餐桌旁坐下，拿起勺子，忍着浓郁的海蛎味与泛着金光的油，将勺子放入汤中，舀了一口，送至口中……勺起勺落，汤，终于见底。我抬起头，从玻璃的镜像中发现了母亲的身影，和她的微笑。这一次，微笑并没有转瞬即逝，而是久久停驻，不禁，我也笑了。

凝望着母亲的微笑，我想：对于礼物，我们的选择有很多。一束花，一串项链，或一块表，或……但，我认为，学会理解，是最好的礼物。

"Blaspheme books, line miles." I thank the book guide me swim world; I appreciate the book gave me a rich imagination; I was moved, book another one let me understand a truth.

When I was a child, I was with the beautiful Snow White, lovely seven dwarfs, kind of grazing geese princess, mana boundless goldfish made friends. In the age of the reality and imagination cant distinguish, fairy tale has taught me to love others and love the world. Out of the fairy tale of innocence era, numerous interesting, thought-provoking classics like a magnet attracted me, for my students reading the hunger, the degree of surprise as Columbus discovered the new world. Classics Paul ko ezer gold iron in the spirit of perseverance let me admit defeat, Hemingway portrayed the Spanish bullfight of the scene made me shock...

I remember one day in the evening, Im watching the literature appreciation. Each read a story, I have to stop to think, write your own thoughts on the notebook, so imperceptibly see late at night more than 10 points. If not mother push me sleep, I will continue to see, because each piece of prose appeals to me. Reading brought me endless happiness, if read seriously, will be out of your mind, to another soul, with another soul communication and conversation. Reading is also a kind of the feeling of life. Du fus poems make people feel the bitterness of life, reading lu xuns articles make people recognize the darkness of the society, read bing xin let me feel the love and hope... Every book is a friend, we were taught to look at life.

In my eyes, like a cup of delicious fruit juice, is reading in the real thirst; Book is like a tempting bread, reading is in good chewing; Book is more like a piece of chocolate and spicy, reading is to taste slowly... In the endless books, I will continue to read the story.

“渎万卷书，行万里路。”我感谢着，书引导我畅游世界;我感激着，书给予我丰富的想象;我感动着，书让我明白一个又一个真理。

小时候，我就与美丽的白雪公主、可爱的七个小矮人、善良的牧鹅公主、法力无边的金鱼交上了朋友。在那个现实与想象分不清的年龄，童话教会了我去爱他人，爱世界。走出天真烂漫的童话时代，一本本生动有趣、引人深思的名著如磁铁般吸引了我，这对于我这个读书如饥似渴的学生来说，惊喜程度不亚于哥伦布发现新大陆。名著中保尔·柯察金的钢铁般坚毅的精神让我为之折服，海明威描写西班牙斗牛的场面使我为之震撼……

记得有一天晚上，我在看《美文欣赏》。每看完一个故事，我都要停下来想一想，把自己的感想记在笔记本上，就这样不知不觉看到深夜10点多。如果不是妈妈催我睡，我还会继续看，因为每一篇美文都吸引着我。读书给我带来无尽的快乐，如果认真读书，便会走出自己的心灵，进入另一个心灵，与另一个心灵沟通、交谈。读书也是一种对生活的感悟。读杜甫的诗使人感悟人生的辛酸，读鲁迅的文章使人认清社会的黑暗，读冰心的文章让我体会到爱与希望……每一本书都是一个朋友，教会我们如何去看待生活。

在我眼里，书像一杯可口的果汁，读书就是在酣畅地解渴;书还像一片诱人的面包，读书就是在美美地咀嚼;书更像一块香浓的巧克力，读书就是在慢慢地品味……在无穷无尽的书籍中，我将继续读书的故事。

There were three of them. There were four of us, and April lay on the campsite and on the river, a mixture of dawn at a damp extreme and the sun in the leaves at cajole. This was Deer Lodge on the Pine River in Ossipee, New Hampshire, though the lodge was naught but a foundation remnant in the earth. Brother Bentleys father, Oren, had found this place sometime after the First World War, a foreign affair that had seriously done him no good but he found solitude abounding here. Now we were here, post World War II, post Korean War, Vietnam War on the brink. So much learned, so much yet to learn.

Peace then was everywhere about us, in the riot of young leaves, in the spree of bird confusion and chatter, in the struggle of pre-dawn animals for the start of a new day, a Cooper Hawk that had smashed down through trees for a squealing rabbit, yap of a fox at a youngster, a skunk at rooting.

We had pitched camp in the near darkness, Ed LeBlanc, Brother Bentley, Walter Ruszkowski, myself. A dozen or more years we had been here, and seen no one. Now, into our campsite deep in the forest, so deep that at times we had to rebuild sections of narrow road (more a loggers path) flushed out by earlier rains, deep enough where we thought wed again have no traffic, came a growling engine, an old solid body van, a Chevy, the kind I had driven for Frankie Pike and the Lobster Pound in Lynn delivering lobsters throughout the Merrimack Valley. It had pre-WW II high fenders, a faded black paint on a body youd swear had been hammered out of corrugated steel, and an engine that made sounds too angry and too early for the start of day. Two elderly men, we supposed in their seventies, sat the front seat; felt hats at the slouch and decorated with an assortment of tied flies like a miniature bandoleer of ammunition on the band. They could have been conscripts for Emilano Zappata, so loaded their hats and their vests as they climbed out of the truck.

"Mornin, been yet?" one of them said as he pulled his boots up from the folds at his knees, the tops of them as wide as a big mouth bass coming up from the bottom for a frog sitting on a lily pad. His hands were large, the fingers long and I could picture them in a shop barn working a primal plane across the face of a maple board. Custom-made, old elegance, those hands said.

"Barely had coffee," Ed LeBlanc said, the most vocal of the four of us, quickest at friendship, at shaking hands. "Weve got a whole pot almost. Have what you want." The pot was pointed out sitting on a hunk of grill across the stones of our fire, flames licking lightly at its sides. The pot appeared as if it had been at war, a number of dents scarred it, the handle had evidently been replaced, and if not adjusted against a small rock it would have fallen over for sure. Once, a half-hour on the road heading north, noting it missing, wed gone back to get it. When we fished the Pine River, coffee was the glue, the morning glue, the late evening glue, even though wed often unearth our beer from a natural cooler in early evening. Coffee, camp coffee, has a ritual. It is thick, it is dark, it is potboiled over a squaw-pine fire, it is strong, it is enough to wake the demon in you, stoke last evenings cheese and pepperoni. First man up makes the fire, second man the coffee; but into that pot has to go fresh eggshells to hold the grounds down, give coffee a taste of history, a sense of place. That means at least one egg be cracked open for its shells, usually in the shadows and glimmers of false dawn. I suspect thats where "scrambled eggs" originated, from some camp like ours, settlers rushing west, lumberjacks hungry, hoboes lobbying for breakfast. So, camp coffee has made its way into poems, gatherings, memories, a time and thing not letting go, not being manhandled, not being cast aside.

英语作文阅读：AnEmptyBox

Once upon a time, a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for using up the familys only roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight, and he became even more upset when on Christmas Eve, he saw that the child had pasted the gold paper so as to decorate a shoebox to put under the Christmas tree.

Nevertheless, the next morning the little girl, filled with excitement, brought the gift box to her father and said, "This is for you, Daddy!"

As he opened the box, the father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction.

But when he opened it, he found it was empty and again his anger flared. "Dont you know, young lady, " he said harshly, "when you give someone a present theres supposed to be something inside the package!"

The little girl looked up at him with tears rolling from her eyes and said: "Daddy, its not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was all full."

The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his precious little girl. He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.

An accident took the life of the child only a short time later. It is told that the father kept that little gold box by his bed for all the years of his life. Whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he would open the box, take out an imaginary kiss, and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each of us as human beings have been given an invisible golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God.

There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.

英语作文阅读：HappinessEquateswithFun

I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.

Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.

Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.

I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful inpiduals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness".

But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children, profound loneliness.

The way people cling to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually diminishes their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.

As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, civic or charitable work, and self-improvement.

英语作文阅读：TodayisaGift

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room‘s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end.

They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn‘t hear the band - he could see it in his mind‘s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly and painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."

英语作文阅读：IsPackingImportanttoYou

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealers showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young mans name embossed in gold.

Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.

When he arrived at his fathers house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his fathers important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.

With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealers name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words… "PAID IN FULL".

How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. Sometimes we dont realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect "the packaging" to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.

英语作文阅读：TheBabyEagle

Once upon a time there was a baby eagle living in a nest perched on a cliff overlooking a beautiful valley with waterfalls and streams, trees and lots of little animals, scurrying about enjoying their lives.

The baby eagle liked the nest. It was the only world he had ever known. It was warm and comfortable, had a great view, and even better, he had all the food and love and attention that a great mother eagle could provide. Many times each day the mother would swoop down from the sky and land in the nest and feed the baby eagle delicious morsels of food. She was like a god to him, he had no idea where she came from or how she worked her magic.

The baby eagle was hungry all the time, but the mother eagle would always come just in time with the food and love and attention he craved. The baby eagle grew strong. His vision grew very sharp. He felt good all the time.

Until one day, the mother stopped coming to the nest.

The baby eagle was hungry. "Im sure to die," said the baby eagle, all the time.

"Very soon, death is coming," he cried, with tears streaming down his face. Over and over. But there was no one there to hear him.

Then one day the mother eagle appeared at the top of the mountain cliff, with a big bowl of delicious food and she looked down at her baby. The baby looked up at the mother and cried "Why did you abandon me? Im going to die any minute. How could you do this to me?"

The mother said, "Here is some very tasty and nourishing food, all you have to do is come get it."

"Come get it!" said the baby, with much anger. "How?"

The mother flew away.

The baby cried and cried and cried.

A few days later, "Im going to end it all," he said. "I give up. It is time for me to die."

He didnt know his mother was nearby. She swooped down to the nest with his last meal.

"Eat this, its your last meal," she said.

The baby cried, but he ate and whined and whined about what a bad mother she was.

"Youre a terrible mother," he said. Then she pushed him out of the nest.

He fell.

Head first.

Picked up speed.

Faster and faster.

He screamed. "Im dying Im dying," he cried. He picked up more speed.

He looked up at his mother. "How could you do this to me?"

He looked down.

The ground rushed closer, faster and faster. He could visualize his own death so clearly, coming so soon, and cried and whined and complained. "This isnt fair!" he screamed.

Something strange happens.

The air caught behind his arms and they snapped away from his body, with a feeling unlike anything he had ever experienced. He looked down and saw the sky. He wasnt moving towards the ground anymore, his eyes were pointed up at the sun.

"Huh?" he said. "What is going on here!"

"Youre flying," his mother said.

"This is fun!" laughed the baby eagle, as he soared and ped and swooped.

"Yes it is!" said the mother.

伟大的诗人高尔基说：书籍是人类进步的阶梯，终生的伴侣，最诚挚的朋友。

《麦琪的礼物》是美国短篇小说大师欧·亨利作品的选集。书中，社会上那些巧取豪夺，坑蒙拐骗，利欲熏心，尔虞我诈的上流人物，得意之徒们的丑恶行径，被揭露无遗。通过他们的种种表现，形象逼真，不拘一格地向读者展现了文明社会的黑暗与滑稽本质，弱肉强食与天良丧尽的现实，并喻示在金钱万能，唯利是图的生存环境中，人性的异化和畸变。

然而在众多对丑恶人性的描写之中，也不乏许多使人肃然起敬的小人物，让人对荒诞，滑稽的故事漠然一笑之后，感慨万千。留给我印象最深的是《麦琪的礼物》这篇文章，它让我真正领略到了人性的魅力。

有些人认为钱是万能的，有了钱就拥有了一切，但我一直坚信真挚的感情是无价的。即使你有千百万，那也换不来真正的感情。或许金钱让你获得一些感情，但那些都是虚伪的。当你不再拥有万贯金钱时，虚伪的感情便会破裂，最终留给你的是万分痛苦。

《麦琪的礼物》就是因为金钱而引发的一系列故事。一对夫妻因为想给对方买一件圣诞礼物而舍弃了自己的心爱之物。可惜最后彼此的礼物却都失去了使用价值，但他们都得到了人世间最宝贵的礼物彼此的真情。我认为他们是幸福的，虽然他们很穷，生活拮据，但在他们心中，金钱并不重要，重要的是对方的真情，只要拥有它，他们感到比有钱的富翁幸福百倍。

换一个角度来看，假如小说中女主人公德拉家财万贯，即使她买了昂贵礼物也看不出真情所在，杰姆也就不会感到那么幸福了。德拉美丽的头发，杰姆珍贵的金表，两样各自引以为自豪的东西都失去了。他们本来想让对方更加美丽，却使礼物失去了使用价值，然而他们更加感到幸福。正像作者所说：在所有馈赠礼物的人当中，他们两个是最聪明的。我想，在一切接受礼物的人当中，他们也是最幸福的。许多人都会羡慕这对夫妻。

也许，有些人会对此不屑一顾，无法理解他们的做法。假如万贯家财和一份真挚的感情同时放在你面前，你会选哪一样呢?我会毫不犹豫地选择那份感情，因为真挚的感情是无价的!我相信真心的付出终会有真诚的回报，拥有真情才能拥有幸福。

[麦琪的礼物读后感作文

In this modern materialistic world, the majority of people are in hot pursuit of material gains, and money is considered the most valuable thing of all, which, personally speaking, is quite superficial. As far as I am concerned,readingis much more valuable than anything else, for it can benefit us in many ways. The old saying, “to open a book is always beneficial” vividly shows how valuable reading is.

Firstly, it goes beyond doubt that reading is a very important way to gain knowledge. Reading is like travelling, the process of which enables you to experience the colorful world and enlarge your eyes scope. By reading history books, you can understand how a regime prospers or collapses, helping you draw useful lessons and develop more wisdom. By reading books of science, you can keep yourself informed in the field of scientific endeavors, thus appreciating how science creates wonders. In a word, reading can enrich your knowledge and get whatever information you need.

In addition, you can get mental encouragement from reading and improve yourself in all aspects. For instance, the stories of well-known people in books help turn an aimless person into an ambitious one, setting up a short or long-term goal for himself. If the daily troubles make you feel desperate, then you will be mentally stroked and encouraged by reading how famous people such as Beethoven made miracles in the face of insurmountable difficulties. Books are a great source of mental encouragement, giving you motives to move forward.

Finally, reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our joy when we are in high spirits, and lessens our sorrow when we are discouraged. Reading will always bring us enjoyment and satisfaction. Good books also serve as gentle companions or faithful friends that will never betray us. While reading, we don’t feel lonely. Books are ready to give us whatever we need such as knowledge, friendship and encouragement.

To sum up, reading is undoubtedly beneficial to you. To open a book is like opening a door, through which you will enter a museum, where all man-made wonders and unique wisdoms are available for you to appreciate; to open a book is like opening a window, through which you can enjoy fresh air、blue sky and wonderful natural landscapes , making you feel refreshed

在这个现代唯物主义的世界,大多数人在炎热的追求物质财富,和金钱被认为是最有价值的东西的,就个人来说,是相当肤浅的。就我而言,读书比任何其他更有价值,因为它可以我们在很多方面获益。俗话说,“打开一本书总是有益”生动地展示了如何有价值的阅读。

首先,它超越怀疑阅读是一个非常重要的方式来获得知识。阅读是喜欢旅行的过程,使您体验到丰富多彩的世界,扩大你的眼睛。通过阅读历史书,你可以了解一个政权繁荣或崩溃,帮助你得出有用的经验和开发更多的智慧。通过科学的读书,可以让自己了解领域的科学努力,因此升值如何科学创造奇迹。总之,阅读可以丰富你的知识和得到任何你需要的信息。

此外,你可以得到精神的鼓励阅读和提高自己在各方面。例如,著名的人的故事书帮助把一个漫无目的的人变成一个雄心勃勃的人,为自己建立一个短期或长期目标。如果日常烦恼让你感到绝望,那么你将会精神上抚摸,鼓励通过阅读名人如贝多芬如何制造奇迹的不可逾越的困难。书是一个伟大的精神鼓励,给你动机前进。

最后,读好书是生活中最大的乐趣之一。它增加我们的快乐当我们情绪高涨,和减少我们的悲伤当我们气馁。阅读总是给我们带来快乐和满足。好书也作为温和的同伴或忠实的朋友,永远不会背叛我们。在阅读时,我们不感到孤独。书是准备给我们任何我们需要如知识、友谊和鼓励。

总之,阅读无疑是有益的。打开一本书就像打开一扇门,通过它你将进入博物馆,所有人造奇迹和独特的智慧可供你欣赏,打开一本书就像打开一个窗口,通过它你可以享受新鲜的空气,蓝色的天空和奇妙的自然景观,使你感到舒畅

With the development scientific technology and the improvement of people’s life standard, a growing number of e-books have been available for the readers. Therefore, some people hold the idea that e-books will replace traditional books in the future, because the former is more advantageous than the latter, such as more convenient and less expensive.

随着科技的发展和人们生活水平的提高，读者可以看到越来越多的电子书。因此，有些人认为电子书在未来会取代传统书籍，因为前者比后者更有优势，如更方便和更便宜。

However, as far as I am concerned, e-books will not and cannot replace traditional books. First, compared with traditional books, we cannot get the same pleasure from reading e-books in that e-books are easier to make our eyes to be tired and dry when reading. Second, with concern about copyright, there are many books are not available in digital form, especially classics. In other words, the resource of e-books is quite limited and cannot satisfy the readers. Third, there is a function of traditional books that e-books do not have—as a gift and a collection. I suppose that those who love reading would be willing to keep a printed form even though he has read the electronic form of it.

然而，我认为电子书不会、也不能取代传统书籍。首先，与传统书籍相比，从电子书中我们不能获得同样的乐趣，因为电子书阅读的时候更容易使我们的眼睛累，干燥。第二，因为版权问题，有许多书是没有电子形式，尤其是一些经典著作。换句话说，电子书的资源是非常有限，无法满足读者。第三，传统书籍有一个电子书没有的功能——作为礼物或拿来收集。我想那些爱阅读的人会愿意保存着纸质版的书，尽管他已经阅读过电子版的了。

In a word, traditional books will continue to be the most important form in our reading.

总之，在阅读方面，传统书籍会一直成为最重要的形式。

When I opened the book and read the first article, I will thoroughly was conquered by the authors literary grace, O. Henrys works allows us to reach the ultimate realm of "tearful smile", this is also a reason, I love the book so now, I want to open the book again, to explore the life philosophy behind the humor...

Believe in "the gift of the magi" has been known as this article, after reading this article, the depth of my heart a little touched, also a bit sad, touched of is two characters can give up their most precious things for each other favorite items, Della sold her beautiful long sent to Jim bought a is his watch chain, and Jim sold his watch to buy a set of Della is with his long hair comb, predictable results. From their story, I learned to give up, have to give up does not necessarily mean a loss, sometimes give up is also a kind of get, as long as you sincerely to make people happy, oneself certainly is also the most happy one, therefore, have a few words is called "happy to help others, own"! But sad when I think to express themselves with the feelings of others, dont want to use material to embody, as two character in the story, even if they do not buy gifts for each other, their feelings will be very good, also bought a gift, but is somewhat contrived.

Section closed the book, the plot is still in my head, my understanding of life suddenly appeared a bright beam of rational...

当我翻开这本书，看完第一篇文章的时候，我就彻底被作者的文采征服，欧 亨利的作品可以让我们达到“含泪微笑”的极致境界，这也是我如此钟爱这本书的一个原因，下面，我要再次打开书，探求那些幽默背后的人生哲理……

相信《麦琪的礼物》这篇文章已被大家所熟知，读过这篇文章后，我的心头有些许感动，也有几分悲伤，感动的是两位主人公可以放弃自己最珍爱的东西来换取对方喜爱的物品，德拉卖掉了自己美丽的长发给吉姆买了一条正配他的怀表的表链，而吉姆卖掉了他的怀表给德拉买了一套正配他的长发的梳具，结果可想而知了。我从他们的故事中学会了放弃，有放弃不一定意味着失去，有时候，放弃也是一种获得，只要你肯真心让别人快乐，自己肯定也是最快乐的一个，所以，有句话就叫做“帮助别人，快乐自己”嘛!但悲伤的是我觉得在表现自己同别人的感情时，不一定要用物质来体现，就如同故事中的两位主人公，即使他们不给对方买礼物，他们的感情也会很好，买了礼物，反而就显得有些做作了。

合上这本书，节中的情节依旧在脑海中颠簸，我对生命的理解猛然又出现了一束理性的光辉……

去年暑假我翻开了我柜子里的《欧亨利100个短篇小说精选》，其中的第一篇就是《麦琪的礼物》，这本书我已经看过很多遍了，因为它的作者是美国著名作家欧亨利，他被称为“短篇小说之王”。

“一元八角七。全都在这儿了，其中六角是一分一分的铜板。这些分分钱是杂货店老板、菜贩子和肉店老板那儿软硬兼施地一分两分地扣下来，直弄得自己羞愧难当，深感这种掂斤播两的交易实在丢人现眼。德拉反复数了三次，还是一元八角七，而第二天就是圣诞节了。”

圣诞节之前，女主德拉想给男朋友吉姆买一份礼物，可是她已经没有多余的钱了，没有办法的情况下，她决定卖掉自己的金发。而他的男朋友吉姆同样想买一份礼物给亲爱的德拉，终于在这个时候德拉为了买表链，卖掉了自己的金发。而吉姆为了买发卡卖掉了自己的金表。

读完这部短篇小说，我体会到了作者对纯真美好的爱情的赞扬，虽然他们没有钱，但是都愿意将自己认为最好的礼物给对方，虽然结果很诧异，但体现了两个人爱情的美好。

《麦琪的礼物》是一部非常优秀的作品，我以前读书的时候就知道，欧亨利的小说风格是既在意料之外，又在情理之中。作者无愧于”短篇小说之王“。今天我们要更加努力，通过自己的双手赚钱。
