Christmas Love
    Each December, I promised to make Christmas a relaxed and peaceful experience. I didn't spend too much time on card writing, endless cooking and decorating. Yet still, I found myself tired, unable to enjoy the valuable family moments, and of course, to understand the true meaning of 1.
    Christmas came again. My son, Nicholas, was in primary school that year. It was a very 2 season for a six-year-old. For weeks, he'd been memorizing songs for his school's "Winter Celebration."All the parents were invited to be present at their show.
    I didn't have the heart to tell him I'd be working. Unwilling to 3 his shining moment, I spoke with his teacher. She told me there'd be a dress rehearsal(彩排) the morning of the presentation. All 4 unable to be present that evening were welcome to come then.
    So, on the 5of the dress rehearsal, I arrived ten minutes early. Around the room, I saw several other parents. Because the public school system had long stopped referring to the holiday as "Christmas", I didn't 6 anything other than fun. So, when my son's class rose to sing "Christmas Love", I was a little bit surprised by its title.
    Nicholas was excited, as were all of his classmates. Those in the front row held up large letters, one by one, to7out the title of the song. As the class would sing "C is for Christmas," a child would hold up the letter C. Then, "H is for Happy," and on and on 8 all the children presented the complete message "Christmas Love".
    The show was going smoothly, until suddenly, a small, quiet, girl in the front row held the letter "M"upside down — totally not knowing her letter "M"appeared as a "W". The audience(观众) laughed at this little girl's 9. But she had no idea why they were laughing at her, so she stood tall, 10 holding her "W". The laughter continued until the last letter was raised, and we all saw it together. A sudden11 came over the audience and eyes began to widen. At that moment, we understood why we were there and why we12the holiday.For when the last letter was held high, the message read loud and clear: "CHRIST WAS LOVE".

阅读材料，完成下列要求。

材料一   重商主义学派认为：一切经济活动的目的都是为了获取金银，金银即货币是财富的惟一形态；货币的多寡为衡量富裕程度的标准。┅┅财富的源泉只能是流通，只有靠流通领域才能使社会财富不断增加。国内商业不能增加国家的货币量，只有对外贸易才是国家富裕的根本途径。┅┅封建割据的国家是妨碍商业资本的充分发展的。要建立统一的民族国家，国家应采取各种干预经济的措施，以增强中央集权国家的实力。

材料二   英国经济学家亚当·斯密认为，国家财富的增长是以国民的普遍富裕为基础的，富裕对于国家来讲，就是国民财富的不断增长，劳动者掌握的财富越大，国富，即生活必需品和便利品就会被越多的生产出来，国家的财富也就不断的扩大。如果劳动者生活维持费用不足，是社会停滞不进的征候，而劳动者处于饥饿状态，就是社会处于急速退步的表现。他还以为，促进国民财富的增长，必须遵循经济的自由原则。为此他提出“任其自由，广其竞争”的原则。劳动是衡量一切商品交换价值的真实尺度。
