A group of class friends，highly successful in their careers，got together to visit their old university professor .The conversation soon   36  into complaints about stress in work and life
Offering his guests coffee，the professor went to the 37 and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of  38  —porcelain，plastic，glass，crystal，some   39   -looking，some expensive，some delicate—telling them to  40 themselves to the coffee
When all the students had a cup of coffee in   41  ,the professor said：“If you noticed，all the nice-looking expensive cups were taken up， 42 behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to  43 only the best for yourselves，that is the  44 of your problems and stress.
Be assured that the cup itself  45 no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink .    46  all of you really wanted was coffee，not the cup，but you  47 went for the best cups.  And then you began   48 each other’s cups.
Now consider this：Life is the   49 ，the jobs，money and   50  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  51  . Sometimes，by concentrating only on the cup，we  52 to enjoy the coffee God has 53 us.  God brews the coffee，not the cups…Enjoy your coffee!”
The happiest people don’t have the best of everything . They Just 54 the best of everything .
Live simply.  Love generously.  Care deeply . Speak kindly . Leave the 55 to God .

He conquered(征服，打败） many kings and   38  many cities. But at last his army was beaten; and Tamerlane escaped alone from the field of   39 .
For a long time he wandered in   40  from place to place. His enemies were   41  him. He was about to lose all hope.
One day he was   42   under a tree, thinking of his failure. He had now been a wanderer for twenty days. He couldn’t   43  any longer. Suddenly he saw a small object climbing up the trunk (树干) of the tree. He looked more   44  and saw it was an ant,  45  a grain of wheat（麦粒） as large as itself.
There was a   46  in the tree only a little way above, and that was the home of the ant.
“You are   47  , Mr. Ant,” he said, “but you are carrying something that is too heavy for you.” Just as he   48 , the ant lost its footing and fell to the ground. But it   49  held on to the grain of wheat. Tamerlane 50  the little insect. It tried the second time, the third time ... the twentieth time — but always with the same  51  . Then it tried the twenty-first time.   52 , one little step at a time, it climbed across the rough place where it had   53  so often. The next minute it climbed   54  into its home, carrying the grain of wheat. “Well done!” said Tamerlane, “you’ve taught me a lesson. I, too, will try, try again,   55  I succeed.”
And this he did.

She was dancing. My lame grandmother was dancing. I stood in the living room doorway, looking at her beautiful movements, absolutely shocked. She was the pet of the dancing world. And then she’d had her accident and it was all over. I had read that in an old newspaper article.
‘‘So… Your leg? I mean, how did your leg heal (恢复健全)?”
“To tell you the truth — my legs have been well all my life,” she sighed.
“But I don’t understand!” I said, “Your dancing career (事业)… You pretended all these years?”
‘‘Very much so, and for a very good reason.”
She thought for a while and then continued. “We were talking about engagement (订婚) when your grandfather had to go to war. I was so afraid of losing him that the only way I could stay normal was to dance. I put all my energy and time into practicing and I became very good. Critics praised me, the public loved me, but all I could feel was the ache in my heart, not knowing whether the love of my life would ever return. Then one day a letter came. There were only three sentences: ‘I have lost my leg. I am no longer a whole man and now give you back your freedom. It is best you forget about me.’’’
“I made my decision there and then. I traveled away from the city. When I returned I had bought myself a stick. I told everyone I had been in a car crash and that my leg would never completely heal again. My dancing days were over. No one doubted the story — I had learned to limp (一瘸一拐地走) convincingly before I returned home. And I made sure the first person to hear of my accident was a reporter I knew well. Then I traveled to the hospital. They had pushed your grandfather outside in his wheelchair. I took a deep breath, leaned on my stick and limped to him.”
“I showed him newspaper articles of my accident. ‘There is a whole life waiting for us out there! But I am not going to carry you. You are going to walk yourself.’”
“I limped a few steps toward him and showed him what I’d taken out of my pocket. ‘Now show me you are still a man.’ I said. He bent to take his stick from the ground and struggled out of that wheelchair. He managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair again in his life.”
“What did you show him?” I had to know. Grandma looked at me and smiled. “Two engagement rings, of course. I had bought them the day after he left for the war and I was not going to waste them on any other man.”
小题1:What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?

One day his grandfather said to him, “Mario, I   32  you a big bag of popcorn that you don’t have as many friends as you think. I’m sure many of them are nothing more than companions.”
Mario   33  the bet without hesitation. However, he wasn’t sure how to test   34  his schoolmates were real friends or not, so he asked his grandfather. The old man answered, “Wait a minute.” Then the old man left,   35  soon as though carrying something in his hands, but Mario could see   36  there.
“Take it. It’s a very special chair because it’s invisible (看不见). It’s rather   37  to sit on it, but if you take it to school and   38  to sit on it, you’ll activate (激活)its magic and you’ll be able to    39  who your real friends are. ”
Mario, brave and determined, took the   40  and set off for school. At break time he asked everyone to form a(n)    41  , and he put himself in the middle, with his chair.

Keving Rogers used to be my boss.At that time he always told us to sell more.As soon as I could,I left his shop and got a new job in another place.The last time I saw Rogers was more than ten years ago.At least that’s what I thought.But now I am not so sure.
I was on my way to my office in the centre of town.There is a small park nearby,which I sometimes walk through after lunch.The park was almost empty except for a shabby-looking man on one of those benches（凳子）.The man looked about fifty years old and was wearing an old gray coat.It was cold and windy,and he was trembling(哆嗦).
“It’s a long time since I had a meal.Can you help me?”he said.There was something about his voice that sounded familiar.I gave him a few pennies.As he went past me I looked at his face closely.I wondered where I had seen him before.Then it suddenly came to me.Could it possibly be…? No!Impossible,I thought.I watched him walking away.He was the same height as Rogers but looked a lot thinner than I remembered.
Yesterday I ran into someone who had worked for Rogers at the same time as I did,and had stayed on longer.I started telling him about the man I had seen in the park.”For a moment I thought it was our old boss.But it couldn’t have been.Rogers must be the head of a company now.”I said.
My ex-workmate shook his head,”I thought you knew.” “Knew?Knew what?What are you talking about?”
“Rogers was sent to prison six years ago.He’s probably been out by now.For all I know he is sleeping on park benches and begging money from passers-by.”

One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. There I would   16  the peace and quiet, watch the water rush   17  and listen to the singing of birds and the rustling of   18  in the trees. I would also watch the bamboo trees   19  under pressure from the wind and watch them   20  gracefully to their original position after the wind had   21  .
When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back to its original position, the word "resilience" comes to mind. When used in   22  to a person this word means the ability to readily   23  from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's   24  .
Have you ever felt like you are at your   25  point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it.
During the   26  you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained,   27  exhausted and you most likely stood   28   physical symptoms.
Life is a   29  of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy   30   that take you close to your breaking point, bend,   31   don't break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
A   32  of hope will take you through the unpleasant ordeal (考验). With   33   for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be. The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to   34  if the final result is worth having.
If life gets   35  and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don't break!
