18.A team of students who were successful in their work got together to visit their old teacher after graduating from college many years later.The talk soon turned into complaints about(15)Ain work and life.
Before offering his students coffee,the teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and different kinds of cups-plastic,glass,porcelain(陶瓷),crystal(水晶),some common and cheap,some beautiful and (16)C-telling them to help themselves to te coffee.
After all the guests had a cup of coffee in hand,the teacher said:"If you noticed,all the nice-looking expensive cups were taken,leaving behind the common and cheap ones.While it is (17)Bfor you to want only the best for yourselves,that is where your problems and stress come from.We all know that the cup itself (18)Cno quality to the coffee.In most cases(19)Bis just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.What all of you (20)Cwanted was coffee,not the cup,but you all went for the best cups.And then you began looking at each other's cups."
Now consider this:(21)Ais the coffee; the jobs,money and position in society are the cups.They are just tools to hold life,and the type of cup we have does not decide,nor change the quality of life we live.Sometimes,by only paying attention to the cup,we (22)Ato enjoy the coffee God has provided us.
God makes the coffee,not the cups.Enjoy your coffee!
"The (23)Dpeople don't have the best of everything.They just (24)C the best of everything."
Live simply.Love generously.Care deeply.Speak kindly.Leave the rest to God.

分析 大学毕业多年以后一群在事业上都取得成功的学生们一起拜访他们的老教师.谈话很快就变成了各自对工作和生活压力的抱怨.
       在给他的学生们沏咖啡之前,老师去了厨房,返回时端来了一大壶咖啡和不同种类的杯子--塑料的,玻璃的,陶瓷器和水晶的,一些普通的和便宜的,一些漂亮的和昂贵的,告诉他们自己随便选杯子喝咖啡.
       在所有的客人喝完手中的一杯咖啡后,老师说:"如果你们注意到的话,所有好看的和昂贵的杯子都被拿走了,剩下的是普通的和便宜的杯子.你们想为自己得到最好的是很自然的,这就是你们的问题和压力的所在.我们都知道杯子本身对于加咖啡来说没有质量问题.大多数情况下杯子确实更昂贵,但是在某些情况下甚至会隐藏我们所喝的饮料.你真正想要的是咖啡,而不是杯子,但你们真正想要的最好的杯子.然后你们开始看看彼此的杯子."
现在考虑一下:生活是咖啡,工作、金钱和社会地位是杯子.它们只是生活持有的工具.我们不能决定杯子的类型,也不能改变我们的生活质量.有时我们只关注杯子,却未能品尝上帝赐予我们的咖啡.
上帝赐予了咖啡,而不是杯子.享受你们的咖啡吧!
最快乐的人们不可能拥有最美好的一切,他们仅仅创造了最美好的一切.
简单的生活.慷慨的爱.深切的关怀.善意的表达.把一切留给上帝.

It began a year ago, around Christmas. Every time I drove down our street, I ____ an old man sitting in his front yard. He was usually smoking or drinking, and looking rather unhappy.

One day, while I was driving past him with my ____, I decided to wave at him with a lot of excitement. ____, when he noticed me waving at him, he looked a bit shocked. Then, I saw his hand go up and he waved back.

“____ did you wave at him?” my daughter asked.

I told her it’s just an act of kindness that doesn’t ____ anything. It gives both him and me a feeling of joy. My daughter replied that she felt a bit uncomfortable to wave to a ___, but next time she would try it as well.

We lived close to the old man, ____ we saw him rather often. Whenever we drove by, both of us would start waving at him and, pretty soon, the old man started ___ at everyone who passed by his house.

One time, my daughter’s friend came to visit and she told my daughter that she saw this strange old man near our home wave at her very ____. She mentioned that she waved back, although she didn’t know ____, and it felt really good.

As soon as my daughter heard this, she told her friend the ____ of how all the waving began. Her friend answered: “Tell your mom that’s really cool!”

Other friends gave similar ____. This taught my daughter that an act of kindness can be natural and ____, if you really want to do it. It showed us how giving happiness can do good to ____ the giver and the receiver.

Moved by the old man’s actions, we’re planning to give our waving neighbor a thank-you card to express our ____ for his exciting waves. We are really thankful for him sharing his simple joy with all who pass by his house.
