A group of class friends, rich and successful, got together to visit their old university professor. They     a lot. Soon their conversation turned into complaining         stress in work and life．

   Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the       and returned with a large pot of coffee and some       —porcelain(瓷的), plastic, glass, crystal(水晶的).Some were cheap,  while others were expensive. He told them to         one for themselves to the coffee．

   When all the students had a cup of coffee in each      ,the professor said：“If you noticed，everyone had chosen the nice looking expensive cups ,       behind the cheap ones. While it is natural for you to choose only the best for yourselves, that’s        you always feel so stressed out．Be sure that the cup itself does not make the coffee taste      . What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup,      you consciously (自觉地) chose the best cups．Now consider this：Life is the       ; the jobs, money and success are the cups. They are only      to hold life, and the type of cup does not mean anything. Sometimes, by concentrating only        the cup, we        to enjoy the coffee God has made for us. ”

   The happiest people don’t have the best of everything．They just make the best of everything．Live simply．Love gently．Care deeply．Speak kindly．Leave the       to God．

A boy carefully took his blind father to a seat in a noodle restaurant.

He called   1   for two bowls of beef noodles. When the restaurant owner was going to   2   the food, the boy suddenly whispered to him,“Only one bowl with   3  , the other without ---just plain noodles.”

In fact, the boy had a light purse and couldn’t afford   4  bowls of beef noodles. He called loudly just to let his   5  know.

When the noodles were sent to them, the father wasn’t in a hurry. He used his chopsticks to search in his bowls, trying to   6   a piece of beef. As soon as he succeeded in finding one, he picked it out   7  put it into his son’s bowl, saying kindly, “Eat some more. Have enough   8  so that you can study well.”

The boy accepted silently(默默地) and then quietly put the beef   9  to his father’s bowl.

When the restaurant owner saw this, he was   10 , then he asked a waiter to bring   11  some dishes from the kitchen. The boy thought   12  the waiter took the dishes to a wrong table, but the owner came up explaining with a smile, “Today is my restaurant’s anniversary(周年庆). The dishes are  13 .”

After the father and son left, the waiter   14  the bowls from the table and found some coins 15  one of them. The sum is just the price of the dishes.
