A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor(教授). Soon they began to     about the stress in work and life.
The professor went to the kitchen and returned     a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups—crystal(水晶的), glass, plastic, some nice looking, some plain looking, some   , 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. While it is    for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the cause of your     and stress. You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee.     you really wanted was coffee, not the cup,     you went for the best cups.”
Now think about this: Lifis the coffee, the jobs, money and     in society are the cups. They are just    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 happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the     of everything.
Live simply. Love sincerely. Care deeply. Speak    . And leave the rest to God.

Everyone has experienced team spirit one way or another, whether they were part of a team or saw a group of people cheer for their favourite player.

3. A “Gap Year” is a period of time when a student takes a break before going to university. It is often spent travelling or working. It can give young people useful learning experiences and new skills.
Gap years are popular with European and Australian students, but remain less popular in America. However, in recent years, more and more American students are preparing for college by taking a gap year. The advantages of taking a gap year are as follows：

Face Challenges and Have Fun

4. There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have travelled to the places. Or you can go and see a color film. Or you can read travel books.
It would seem that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective (主观的) idea of travels which the author has got himself. These books can be useful to you when you are planning your travels if the writers share their travelling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective (客观的) information of things to be done and seen. Ifa cultured personhas written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is even more useful. The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind, they can be interesting and exciting. But their main purpose is to help the reader who wishes to plan his travel in the most practical way.
Whatever kind of travel book you choose you must make sure that it does not describe everything as “wonderful”, “excellent” or “magical”. You must also keep an open eye on its date of publication because travel is a very practical matter and many things change quickly in the twenty-first century. Finally, you should make sure that it’s easy to find useful information for your travel.

5. Old George bought the black gloves for just $35 ten years ago. They were made of lamb skin, soft and warm and very strong. Until then, he had worn cheaper man-made material. These gloves never lasted longer than three years. He first decided to buy the expensive gloves, because they would make him feel nice in front of others. George never let a drop of water or rain touch his expensive gloves, so they looked new. Losing this favourite thing was almost like losing a child to him. Bad luck! George lost his expensive gloves on New Year’s Day....
Back home, George was at a loss. In deep winter, he could not do without a pair of gloves. If he bought cheap ones again, he would have to replace (换) them very soon. If he bought a new leather pair, it would cost $50 now. He was sad that people no longer returned things they found on the road.
After the holiday, poor George decided to buy another leather pair. Before boarding the subway, he went into Value Mart again to see if his gloves had been returned to the Lost and Found Office(失物招领处). “What colour are they?” the woman in the office asked again. “Black,” he gave the same answer.
She looked into her drawer and drew out a pair of men's leather gloves. “Are they?” “Yes! Those are mine!”
George explained, with great joy in his eyes.
