It was Christmas Eve, 1881. I was 15 years old and feeling like the world was over for me. I didn’t have enough money to buy myself the gift that I had wanted that year.

Dad came back in and there was ice in his beard. “You’ve been by widow (寡妇) Smith’s house recently?" he asked. Ms. Smith lived two miles down the road. Her husband had died and left her with three children.

“I rode by just today” Dad continued.“Little Jack was out looking for wood. They must be out of wood, Tom.”

We filled our sled (雪橇) high with wood. Then we went to the store and Dad bought

some food, and a smaller pair of shoes. I tried to think through what Dad was doing. I knew

we didn’t have much money，so why Dad was buying them so many things。

We got to the Smith’s house and went in;“We brought you a few things, madam,” Dad said, and put down the bag of food on the table. Then Dad handed Ms. Smith the pair of shoes. She bit her lower lip to keep it from trembling (发抖), and then tears filled her eyes and started running down her cheek

My throat seemed to be filled with something, and there were tears in my eyes, too. Just then my dream gift seemed very unimportant. Dad had given me the look Ms. Smith’s face and the smiles of her three children. He had given me the best Christmas of my life.

Lots of students know what a marathon(马拉松赛跑) is, but perhaps they don’t know what triathlon is. The triathlon is a sport that has three parts —swimming, bicycling and running. It is not an easy sport, but a man named Joe Salter is very good at it. A few months ago, he finished a special triathlon—he juggled(抛起接住) three balls all the time during the triathlon. That is to say, he kept on throwing and catching three balls while he was swimming, riding a bicycle and running.

31-year-old Joe is from Florida, the USA. He loves juggling and he started at the age of 8. Joe did well in juggling. Later, he got the idea to do a triathlon and juggle at the same time to make it more fun. Many juggling fans laughed at his idea and thought it was just a joke. But J oe didn’t give up and he kept practicing it. Because of his hard work, he made it at last.

Talking about his triathlon, Joe said swimming was the hardest part. “It was difficult and complex ,”he said. “I basically only used my legs, so it took quite a lot of work. Also, swimming in open water made it a little harder. It was not like in a pool. ”
