A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor．They talked about the 1 topic-happiness．But soon their conversation turned into complaints about 2 in work and life．
To offer his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and 3 with a large pot of coffee and a variety of 4 －plastic, glass, metal, porcelain(陶瓷), som plain-looking some very 5 ．The professor told his students to help themselves to hot coffee．
When all the students had a cup of coffee in 6 ．the professor said："lf you have noticed, all the nice-looking 7 ．cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones．While it is 8 for you to want only the best for Yourbelves, that is the 9 of your problems and stress．The professor continued," Believe that the cup itself adds no 10 to the coffee．ln most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases it even 11 what we drink．What all of you 12 wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went 13 the best cups．Now 14 this：life is coffee, the jobs, money, and 15 in society are the cups9 which are just tools to hold and 16 life, and the different typesof cups we have don't decide, nor 17 the quality oflife．lf we concentrate only on the cups, we will 18 to enjoy the coffee in it．So don't let the cups 19 you…enjoy the coffee instead．"
At these words, the graduates looked at each other in 20 embarrassment．
In my third year as a high school athletics coach, I gave a speech telling students and parents about the benefits of football．I gave the same 1 each year, aimin g at recruiting(招收)new team members．I talked about 2 football wasn't just for 3 athletes and how everyone could 4 from it．This year, a 5 looking couple approached me after my speech．They said their son really wanted to play football．They had tried to 6 him out of it, but he had his heart 7 on joining the team．
When they told me his name, my heart sank．Michael was five feet and ten inches tall and weighed about 108 pounds．He was a 8 boy, the constant target of other kids' jokes, and as far as I knew he had never 9 sports．I knew he would never 10 it through football practice, let 11 as a player．But we told them we could give it a try．
On the opening day of practice, Michael was the first player on the field, we did 30 minutes of warming-up 12 starting a one-mile jog around the track．I 13 my eye on Michael．At 50 yards he fell, and I helped him to his feet．“Michael,”I said,“Why don't you just 14 the mile?”He said in tears that he wanted to run with the others, so I let him go on． 15 he fell, but each time 16 himself up．
The same thing happened every day for weeks, and Michael gained strength both 17 and physically．By the last week of practice, Michael could run the mile without falling, we had 18 only one game that season, 19 the team cheered louder for Michael's run than the victory they had, Afterward, Michael approached me, and I told him how 20 I was of him．

It is doubtful．Arsenic was used in many types of 5 during Napoleon's time, so he might have taken some as a cure for his stomachache．
He was sent to the island of St．Helena 6 the coast of Africa in 1815 after he lost the 7 of Waterloo．Although he had servants to 8 to him, he had to live in one small building．Then, in 1982, Dr．David Jones from England began to 9 the mystery(谜)and 10 that Napoleon might have 11 arsenic which was in the 12 of his house．In the 1700s and 1800s, arsenic was used 13 a kind of green paint used in 14 and wallpaper．If the paint was used on a wet wail, the arsenic would 15 the house．A person in the building might take in that air．After 16 the house where Napoleon died, Dr．Jones found much arsenic in the green paint on the 17 ．The result was proved again by 18 G erman doctor in April, 2002． 19 from some materials, they got to know the leading guard settled Napoleon 20 was the bedroom with the thicker poisonous gas．
