A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor. They talked about the 11 topic— happiness. But soon their conversation turned into complaints about 12 in work and life.
To offer his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and 13 with a large pot of coffee and a variety of 14 — plastic, glass, metal, porcelain(陶瓷), some plain-looking, some very 15 . The professor told his students to help themselves to hot coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in 16 , the professor said: “If you have noticed, all the nice-looking 17 cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is 18 for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the 19 of your problems and stress.” The professor continued, “Believe that the cup itself adds no 20 to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases it even 21 what we drink. What all of you 22 wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went 23 the best cups. Now 24 this: life is coffee, the jobs, money, and 25 in society are the cups which are just tools to hold and 26 life, and the different types of cups we have don’t decide, nor 27 the quality of life. If we concentrate only on the cups, we will 28 to enjoy the coffee in it. So don’t let the cups 29 you...enjoy the coffee instead.”

A few days ago we – that’s me and the husband – took a cab to the station. Chat with the driver fell to the wrong of cyclists, and the misunderstanding of the road rules. So far as the rules of the road go, there seems to be one basic principle: when you are driving a car you hate bikes, when you are riding a bike you hate cars (and I guess walkers hate everyone).
There is an obvious difference of viewpoint built in here. It wasn’t until I started to drive a car (almost 20years after I had first rode a bike) that I actually realized that you could not see a cyclist at night without lights. In fact I now want to shout at late night cyclists without lights(like motortists once did at me): “You’ll get killed, sunshine, I can’t see you.”
The problem is that cyclists do ride headlong into danger. It's not just not having lights. It’s biking on pavements (and so threatening to injure a load of innocent walkers in the process) and biking down one-way streets the wrong way.
I admit that I do bike the wrong way down a one-way street sometimes. My feeble(软弱无力) defense is that I try always to do it as if I know I was doing wrong. That is slowly, with an apologetic look on the face, and ready to get off at any minute. I can’t bear the guys(一伙人) (usually, but not always it is guys) who do it as if they owned the place, and at high speed.
So cyclists are not entirely innocent. But they are among the disadvantaged groups, because the bottom line is that a car or a lorry can kill a cyclist and not the other way around.
