Bible stories 　　In the Bible, the story about how the world began and how life came to be makes sense to me because in the ancient time people of all lands have sought to understand the world in which they live and to understand themselves as human beings. In china, there are also myths about how the world begun and how life came to be. It is said that God created the world and men in the Bible, while in Chinese mythology, it is said that a god called Pangu created the world and a goddess called Nuwa created human beings. 　　At first, the sky and the earth were one blurred entity like an egg. Then Pangu was born into it. Eighteen thousand years past, Pangu woke up and stood up. Then the egg was separated by Pangu and the heaven and the earth were formed. In order to avoid the heaven falling down, Pangu stood between the heaven and the earth. After another eighteen thousand years, Pangu was so tired that he finally died. However, after his death, his left eye became the sun; his right eye became the moon; his last breath became wind and cloud; his last sound became thunder; his hair became stars; his head, hands and feet became the earth and mountains; his blood became rives and lakes; his tendon and vessel became roads; his muscle became soil; his skin and fine hair became flowers, grass and trees; his teeth and bones became minerals; and his sweat became rain and sweet dew. Therefore, the world was formed. 　　According to the Chinese myth, a goddess called Nuwa with human head and snake body existed in the beginning of the world. She felt lonely. So she began to create human beings from yellow clay after her image. She created so many human beings by her hands that she felt very tired. So she dipped a rope in clay and flicked it so blobs of clay landed everywhere; each of these blobs became a common person. So there was a saying in China ancient times that the nobles were the ones created by Nuwa’s hands. After creating human beings, Nuwa also established marriage system for humans.

To Die Is to Gain 　　　Socrates was one of the greatest philosophers. But it was ironic to the Athenian democracy that he was sentenced to death by the jury trial. He aimed to make people focus on self-development instead of anything more than virtue. He asked people not to be ignorance but to realize that they were really nothing. He was condemned to death just because of his words. 　　　Actually he did have the chance to escape. I have discussed with some of my friends on the question that if Socrates should flee away. Someone said he should escape to live so that he could continue to promote his philosophy to others. But in my opinion, to die was his best choice. For one thing, his death was the fight for the real justice. For another thing, escape was to betray his “social contract” with the state and Socratic principle. 　　　I admire his fearless attitude to death. He said death was a good. I agree with him. But it doesn’t mean I will eulogize and embrace death in a negative way. Death is a good just when one willing to die for truth, virtue and justice. It’s such of a nature that everyone will die. So it’s no use to be afraid of death. Just like Socrates said, death was either a state of nothingness and utter unconsciousness just like undisturbed sleep, or, a change of the soul from this world to anther. Somehow, death means eternity with pleasure — eternal undisturbed sleep or a journey to a world with real justice. 　　　In fact, I think what Socrates said in his last speech reflected his criticism and irony of Athenian democracy. For example, “In another world they do not put a man to death for asking questions: assuredly not”, it indicated that the sentence to him is not unjust, and as a matter of fact, the other world what he depicted was the idea society with the real democracy. His last words also reflected that people should care about virtue and be modest. 　　　His death promoted people to rethinking about what was the real democracy and what was the principle of one’s development. Therefore, for Socrates, to die was to gain.

Love Is a Faith 　　　Penelope was a brave, cautious woman with strong will. For Penelope, love was a faith to support her to go through the tough time. Because she never lost faith in her husband—Odysseus, she has waited for her husband for twenty years though she was pressed to remarry by the evil suitors. 　　　During the years without Odysseus, Penelope had to raise their son, govern the palace and face the pressure to remarry. I think she knew that she had no enough power to drive the suitors away. So, she pretended to declare that she should finish the shroud for the lord before she remarried one of them in order to buy her time. Although she said she would not meet her husband again, deep in her heart she never gave up the hope that Odyssey would be back one day. In addition, I think that although Penelope did not recognize Odysseus, she must suspect his identity. Otherwise she would not be willing to have such a sincere talk with a stranger. Also, I feel that Odyssey was a little sly and had less confident of their love because he disguised as a stranger to test Penelope’s love. Anyway, what he had done to her just because he loved and cared her. In a word, though Penelope suffered a lot, she finally got the reunion with her husband. Love was a faith to her and also love should be a faith to us. When we fall in love with someone, we should always tell each other that “I’m faith in you”!
