A group of class friends successful in their careers got together to visit their old university professor. Their talk soon turned into complaints about  stress in work and life.
     Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a couple of(几个) cups  —porcelain(瓷的),  plastic(塑料的),  glass,  crystal(水晶的),  some common,   some  expensive and some delicate (精美的)--telling them to help __________ ( 1 )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 common and  _________(1 )  ones. While it is  natural  for you to choose only the best for ourselves, that is the cause  of your problems and stress. The cup itself  adds  no quality to the coffee.  What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously (有意识地) went  for   the best cups.( 2 ) And then you began eyeing other people’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 which we have will not change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by fixing our attention only on the cup, we  fail to enjoy the coffee which God (上帝) has provided for us. God brews(冲泡) the coffee, not the cups...Enjoy your coffee!"
   Live simply . Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
