　　Chritmas, which falls on Dec.25 every year, is the most important festival in the West. During Christmas,a big fat man in a red suit usually takes center stage. His name is Santa Claus.

　　It sounds crazy, but Santa Claus is very popular. Small children around the world even leave food out for Santa and his reindeer on the night before Christmas. When they wake up in the morning, some of the food is eaten and there are presents under the Christmas tree.

　　According to the World Health Organization(WHO),nearly 786,000 people die of suicide every year, which means that there is one person who kills himself or herself every forty seconds. Most of them are young people between 15 and 34, and the death makes their families and friends suffer long-lasting pain and sadness. Why do they give up life so easily? Why is life worth living? Maybe different people have different answers, but we do have reasons to live.

　　First of all, love is an everGREen reason for everyone. Life is worth living for the loved ones around, for your parents, children, husband or wife, for your relatives and friends. Such relationships make life worth everything.

　　For the student, life means learning and exploring( 探索 ). They all look forward to knowing, learning and finding out more about everything. Right from studies to games, from the daily life to the unknown world, the eagerness( 渴望 ) to do better and learn more makes their lives worth living.

　　Of course, living also means new opportunities. No matter how hard life is, remember "When the God closes one door, somewhere else he opens A window." We don't think those lucky ones around us succeed because They were born with sliver spoons. It is just because they're good at gabbing the opportunities life throws to them which make their lives worth living.

　　Fourth. some people like to simply see where life leads them to. Growing older every year, getting wiser and learning simple and profound(意义深远) lessons from life also makes life worth living. See, there are so many reasons to life. Life is not always easy and we often have all kinds of problems, but believe that are reasons which make life worth living and there are always ways or solve the problems and make tomorrow better. Never give up!
