         A group of graduates, successful in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor.
    Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.  
         Before offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of
    coffee and a variety of cups-porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking and cheap, some
    exquisite and expensive-telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
         When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice
    looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for
    you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that
    the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases
    even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously
    went for the best cups.  And then you began eyeing each other's cups.
         Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are
    just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality
    of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has
    provided us. "
         God brews the coffee, not the cups. Enjoy your coffee!
         "The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. "
         Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

    1. Why did the professor offer his students coffee with varieties of cups?

    A. To give his students many more choices.
    B. To teach his students how to enjoy coffee.
    C. To show the students his collection of cups.    
    D. To tell his students the right attitude to life

    2. According to the professor, the happiest people are the ones who _____.

    A. get the best type of coffee cups      
    B. make the best of what they have
    C. have a wide range of coffee cups    
    D. care about social status and wealth

    3. The best title for the passage would be _____.

    A. God's Coffee                    
    B. The Pressure of Life
    C. The Happiest People              
    D. Professor's Coffee Cups
