Question

完型填空。

A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor. Soon they began to complain(抱怨) about the stress and problems in work and life.

________ professor went to the kitchen and returned ________ a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups—crystal, glass, plastic; some nice looking, some plain looking; and the students noticed that some were expensive, some cheap. And he told them to help ________ to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “I’ve noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were ________ up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. Although ________ is normal for you to take only the best for yourselves, that is the root of your problems and stress. You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. And ________ you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, ________ you all went for the best cups.”

Now think about 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 does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by paying ________ only to the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has ________ us. God gave us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!

The ________ people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. Live simply. Love sincerely. Care deeply. Speak kindly. And leave the rest to God.
