10. The Passover Story Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is one of the Jewish religion’s most sacred and widely observed holidays. Passover commemorates the story of the Israelites’(以色列人的) departure from ancient Egypt, which appears in the Hebrew Bible’s books of Exodus(出埃及记), Numbers(民数记) and Deuteronomy(申命记), among other texts. Jews observe the weeklong festival with a number of important rituals, including a traditional Passover meals known as a seder, the removal of leavened(加酵母的)products from their home, the substitution of matzo(犹太逾越节薄饼)for bread and the retelling of the exodus tale. According to the Hebrew Bible, Jewish settlement in ancient Egypt first occurs when Joseph, a son of the patriarch Jacob and founder of one of the 12 tribes of Israel, moves his family there during a severe famine in their homeland of Canaan. For many years the Israelites live in harmony in the province of Goshen, but as their population grows the Egyptians begin to see them as a threat. After the death of Joseph and his brothers, the story goes, a particularly hostile pharaoh(法老)orders their enslavement and the systematic drowning of their firstborn sons in the Nile. One of these doomed infants is rescued by the pharaoh’s daughter, given the name Moses (meaning “one who is pulled out”) and adopted into the Egyptian royal family. When he reaches adulthood, Moses becomes aware of his true identity and the Egyptians’ brutal treatment of his fellow Hebrews. He kills an Egyptian slave master and escapes to the Sinai Peninsula, where he lives as a humble shepherd for 40 years. One day, however, Moses receives a command from God to return to Egypt and free his kin from bondage, according to the Hebrew Bible. Along with his brother Aaron, Moses approaches the reigning pharaoh (who is unnamed in the biblical version of the story) several times, explaining that the Hebrew God has requested a three-day leave for his people so that they may celebrate a feast in the wilderness. When the pharaoh refuses, God unleashes 10 plagues on the Egyptians, including turning the Nile River red with blood, diseased livestock, boils, hailstorms and three days of darkness, culminating in the slaying of every firstborn son by an avenging angel. The Israelites, however, mark the doorframes of their homes with lamb’s blood so that the angel of death will recognize and “pass over” each Jewish household. Terrified of further punishment, the Egyptians convince their ruler to release the Israelites, and Moses quickly leads them out of Egypt. The pharaoh changes his mind, however, and sends his soldiers to retrieve the former slaves. As the Egyptian army approaches the fleeing Jews at the edge of the Red Sea, a miracle occurs: God causes the sea to part, allowing Moses and his followers to cross safely, then closes the passage and drowns the Egyptians. According to the Hebrew Bible, the Jews—now numbering in the hundreds of thousands—then trek through the Sinai desert for 40 tumultuous years before finally reaching their ancestral home in Canaan, later known as the Land of Israel. 20.

B、Marking the doorframes of homes with lamb’s blood.
C、The retelling of the exodus tale.

I have heard of the story of the world famous opera singer Tina Kiberg. As a child, Tina was a violinist and spent her free time practicing and practicing. One day she participated in a violin contest and realized that she would never be more than an ordinary violinist and that she enjoyed singing more. She gave up the violin, took up singing and became a leading international opera singer. Her courage to give up is what allowed her to become a world famous opera singer. Now try to guess what these somewhat successful people have in common-Larry Page,Tiger Woods,John McEnroe and John Steinbeck. Yes, they all dropped out of Stanford. Look at many other successful people and I bet their past is also filled with things they did at one time and then gave up. There are a number of cognitive(认知的processes that make it hard for us to leave our present situation and move ) on to something new—evenwhen we feel miserable with the present situation. We think “I’veinvested so much in this already. If I quit,all will have been wasted. M Once we have something,we hate to lose it. Things we don’thave yet don’tcarry the same value. These cognitive thoughts might help explain why people stay stuck in bad jobs, bad marriages, unhappy friendship,etc.
To sum up, sometimes you’vegot to stick with somethings even through tough times but sometimes you have to have the courage to give up. You have to be open to the fact that sometimes giving up is the right way forward.
