10． Kwanzaa is a celebration of African American history and culture. It begins on December 26th and continues until New Year's Day, January 1st.
During the festival, a family member, usually the youngest child, lights candles in a special candleholder. Each night a candle is lit. Traditionally there are three green candles, three red candles and a central black candle. They represent the seven Kwanzaa principles (原则). The principles are believed to play a big role in building strong, successful families, neighborhoods, et C. In the evenings, adults share stories and explain how to follow the seven principles in daily life. On the sixth day, which falls on New Year's Eve, family and friends get together to enjoy a large meal.
Kyle, a third grader, wrote this about Kwanzaa, "When we celebrate Kwanzaa, we have many people at home, light the candles, and have a nice dinner. We learn the meaning of Kwanzaa and remember family members. We say something good about them. Last year, we remembered my grandmother."
In 1966, Dr. Karenga created KwanzaA. He was studying the history of Africa at that time. Dr. Karenga wanted to create a holiday to bring African Americans together and celebrate their history and culture. He called the holiday "Kwanzaa". In fact, the name comes from an African language, and it means "first fruits of the harvest (收获季节)"

11． The Boston Marathon (波士顿马拉松) is one of the world's oldest and most famous races. Nearly half the competitors in the 26. 2-mile race are women. But for most of the race's 119-year history, only men were allowed to compete.
A woman named Gibb helped change that in 1966. That year she took part in the Boston Marathon and finished ahead of (在. . . 前面) most of the men.
Gibb first saw and got to know the Boston Marathon in 1964. And she wanted to run the race herself. For nearly two years, Gibb trained hard to prepare for the race. But when she sent in an application (申请) for the 1966 race, she was refused.
At the time, the longest official races for women were only 1. 5 miles. Many people didn't think women were able to run longer than that. But the 23-year-old Gibb refused to give up her dream. She came up with a plan to run the race anyway. On April 19, she showed up at the marathon. She wore her brother's shorts and a sweatshirt to disguise that she was a woman.
Gibb hid near the starting line. When the race began, she jumped into the crowD. Shortly into the race, Gibb took off her sweatshirt. To her surprise, the crowd cheered when they realized she was a woman. Gibb finished the race in 3 hours and 21 minutes-faster than two thirds of the men.
In the years that followed, she and other women ran in the Boston Marathon, even though the rules still stopped women from running in the race. Finally, in 1972, the marathon was officially opened to women.

12． Failure isn't the end, unless you let it be. If you don't believe it, just have a look at the following people.
Walt Disney
Walt Disney once worked for a newspaper. But people said he was not creative enough. Later, some people said his Mickey Mouse cartoons were "too scary for women". However, we have the Disney Company today because Walt chose not to give up and worked hard to achieve his dreams.
Stephen King
