名书推荐——《The Gift of the Magi》麦琪的礼物

人为什么要读书？因为读书培养了学习兴趣，保持了学习兴趣。学习兴趣是开启未来的大门，是创造美好生活的基础。就像一颗小新苗一样，需要持续注入水分、养分才能茁壮成长为大树。就如奥巴马演讲中提到的“未来无论你想成为什么职业，你都需要教育的基础，不存在不读书就能获得的美好工作。”

今天给大家推荐这本书的作者是：O. Henry

推荐理由：Jim Dillingham Young and his wife Della are a young couple who are very much in love with each other, but can barely afford their one-room apartment opposite the elevated train due to their very bad economic condition. For Christmas, Della decides to buy Jim a chain which costs twenty dollars for his prized pocket watch given to him by his father. To raise the funds, she has her prized long hair cut off and sold to make a wig. Meanwhile, Jim decides to sell his watch to buy Della a beautiful set of combs made out of tortoise shell for her lovely, knee-length brown hair. Although each is disappointed to find the gift they chose rendered useless, each is pleased with the gift they received, because it represents their love for one another.,The true unselfish love that the characters, Jim and Della, share is greater than their possessions.
