      One day, long ago, a little baby was born. His name was Jesus. Jesus was a special baby. Many people say
he was the son of God. When he was born, a new star shone in the sky. Three wise men saw the star. They
followed the star to Jesus. They brought the baby special gifts. They knew he was a special baby. When the
baby grew into a man, he was a great teacher. Jesus's birthday is Christmas day. We give gifts to our friends
and family at Christmas. We put stars on our Christmas trees, too.

      Mr. Black works in a hospital. As a good doctor, people in the town like him. He's often kind to patients
(病人) and looks them over carefully. But he's always busy and has little time to rest.
      One morning Mr. Black got to the hospital and saw a fat woman in the waiting room. He called her into his
office and asked, " What's the matter, Madam? "
      " It was my birthday yesterday, sir," said the woman, " My son gave me a present. But I couldn't push
(推动) my way in it." 
      " It doesn't matter, Madam," said Mr. Black, " You have to lose (丢失) some weight (重量). You'll be able
to wear your coat if you do all what I say."
      " You're wrong, sir," said the fat woman, " He bought me not a coat, but an expensive car! "
