A
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 most 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

When Chris moved in across the hall from Norma Cook four years ago in a Los Angeles-area apartment complex, the 31-year-old actor waved to his 85-year-old neighbor for a few weeks before finally knocking on her door and introducing himself. 揟he day I entered her apartment and spoke with her face to face was the day my life was changed forever,擟hris said.
He learned that Cook had no family living in California and that she suffered from a long list of illnesses, including leukemia (白血病). The pair quickly became close friends, as Chris took her to doctor’s appointments, cooked with her and they ran errands (差事) together. He shared their adventures on social media. But recently, Cook’s health declined and she was in and out of the hospital several times. She once spent weeks in the hospital fighting pneumonia and breathing issues. Eventually Cook was told by one of her doctors that she could no longer live at home unless she had 24-hour care. Because Cook had no money saved to pay her health care costs, Chris started a Go Fund Me account to help cover her bills.
But caretakers are expensive and Cook quickly ran out of the $34,445 they raised. Knowing her days at home were limited, Chris invited Cook to move in with him to save money.揝he loves it! I do most of my work at home so I am here most of the time to care for her. It only made sense to both of us. Chris wrote. 揝he is my adopted grandmother after all and I am her grandson she never had.
揅ook still has weekly hospice health care visits and regular visits from caregivers, so any funds raised cover those expenses,攈e wrote. Though doctors say Cook抯 days are very limited, the pair are enjoying spending time together drinking champagne and snuggling with her cat, Hermes, who also made a move.
揝he does not want to change, Chris told Today. 揗y apartment was the only place she would have moved. She has strong opinions about where she wants to carry out the rest of her days, and she wants to stay here. Chris says he feels like the relationship was fate. 揗oving her in....it feels as though it was meant to be all along, he said. 揑t抯 really fulfilling to be there for her.

Then he settles in and realizes his natural football ability but he loses his leg due to a deadly bone cancer. Unstoppable follows Harrison’s difficult life journey.

TFK asked Keith what it felt like to read Unstoppable for the first time. “Tim captured what it felt like for me to go through this experience and battle back, “Keith said.” Tim’s look sends a message to all the kids across the country that are facing challenges and that have nothing to do with cancer; you are all unstoppable, as long as you believe it.”

Dear John,
I’m glad to hear that you want to join the Chinese Club in your school. Instead of hesitating because of your poor Chinese, you are supposed to apply to be a member of the club.
As far as I’m concerned, joining the club, where you can get the chance to practice and improve your Chinese, is a great choice for you since you are not good at it. Besides, you are likely to make some new friends in the club and learn Chinese from them. If you are still worried about your Chinese, you are free to turn to me.
I really hope that you can join the club and further learn Chinese.
Yours,
Li Hua
