2.Christmas Day-December 25-which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the founder of the Christian religion, is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the United States.

According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to allow his only son, Jesus Christ, to be born to a human mother and live on the earth so that people could understand God better and learn to love God and each other more." Christmas" meaning "celebration of Christ " honors the time when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman Mary.

Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter, but before they came together, she was found to be with child. Because Joseph, her husband, was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in his dream and said, "Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

Although the exact date of the birth of Jesus nearly 2,000 years ago is not known, the calendar on the supposed date divides all time into B.C.(Before Christ)and A.D.(a Latin phrase, Anno Domini,“in the year of our Lord”) For the first 300 years, Jesus' birthday was celebrated on different dates. Finally, in the year 354 A.D. church leaders chose December 25 as his birthday.

1.Generally speaking, because smoking is harmful for health. According to related survey, like 2011 China Tobacco Control Report, about 740 million people, including 180 million children and teenagers are affected by second hand smoke. More than 1 million people die every year from smoking-related diseases, and more than 100,000 of those cases can be traced back to second-hand smoke.

2.I am afraid there’s no similar regulations passed or carried out in my city. Here are some reasons. Firstly, the corresponding departments do not pay enough attention to second-hand smoking issue as in Harbin. Secondly, there are too many smokers here in the city and most of them refuse to do any change. Thirdly, local citizens here are too shy to express their opinions against second-hand passive smoking.

3.As we can see from the passage, Harbin is the first city that tries to regulate second-hand smoke for the sake of public health. It is really a good start. One the one hand, non-smokers especially children and teenagers are effectively protected than ever before. Since second-hand passive breathing could no longer threat their health, many serious diseases are avoided. That is of great significance. On the other hand, before long Harbin could be a successful model of tobacco control for other cities to copy. Then, there could be cleaner air, healthier environment, and happier life in many cities.

Many of the challenges facing the healthcare system in the future will be related to the overall challenge of balancing quality and safety with efficiency, saidCynda Hylton Rushton PhD, RN, the new Anne and George L. Bunting Professorof Clinical Ethics at Johns Hopkins University.

“It raises a real question about whether the right values are driving our focus in ourhealthcare system,” she said. “Should efficiency be the driver?”

“This is not just a supply issue,” said Rushton. “This is a sustainability issue. And one of the real threats to keeping the people we train in practice is having an ethical practice environment where they can actually practice with integrity, and where they are not constantly barraged with morally distressing situations that burn them out.”
Medication shortages often happen because there’s not enough economicincentive for manufacturers. For example, certain intravenous medications thatare generics tend to be the ones that become scarce because there’s not muchprofit in making them, said Rosoff.
