A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor. Soon they began to _ _ the stress in work and life.

The professor went to the kitchen and returned_ _a pot(壶) of coffee and all kinds of cups — crystal (水晶的), glass, plastic; some nice looking, some common looking; some_ _, some cheap. And he told them to help _ _ to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “I’ve noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were_ _ leaving behind the common and cheap ones. While it is_ _for you to take only the best for yourselves, that is the root(根源) of your _ _ and stress.

You know that the cup itself adds no quality (质量) to the coffee, _ _you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, _ _ you consciously went for the best cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee. The jobs, _ _ and position in society are the cups. They are just _ _to hold life, and the type of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by only paying attention _ _the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has _ _us. God offers us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!”

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make _ _of everything.

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak _ _. And leave the rest to God.

My name is Sam. I joined a club called “passing help” last month . Now let me tell you why I joined it.

One evening this May, on my way home my old car broken down(出故障). It was 25 miles from my home. I wanted to get a ride(搭便车), but there was no car . It was also hard to take a taxi. I decided to take a bus home .I went to a bus stop nearby.

After a while, a bus came, but it did not go to my town .the bus driver was a young woman. She was kind and she told me which bus I should take. I waited there for about thirty minutes, but no bus came. At last a car came to me and a woman came out of the car .She was just the bus driver.

“When I reached the bus station, I got to that the bus to your town couldn't come, so I returned here. I just can't leave you here,” she said, “ Get in my car and I will take you back to your home .”

“It is a long way.” I said.

“Come on, sir, ” she said ,“ Let’s go.”

On the way she told me a story. A few days ago, there wasn't gas(汽油)in her car . An old man drove her up to a gas station and then back to her car.

When we got to my home, I wanted to give her some money to thank her, but she didn't accept it. “I only want to help others and do something nice for somebody. Pass it along. ” She said.

To write a great news story , you have to make sure it is correct , relevant (相关的) and fresh.

For a start, all the information in a story must be correct. Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts.

Any mistakes that appear (出现) in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble.

For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would be wrong. He wasn't the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake.

A news story is not only correct ,but also relevant to its readers . People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them. That is why you care more about what happens at your school than at American schools. It is also why newspapers in Beijing don 't talk about much news in Shanghai or Hong Kong.

Finally, news must always be fresh. When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to read about news that happens that day. You don't want to read about news from last week!

So, now you know what makes a good news story. Have a good look at our newspaper and see if it is full of good news .you can try writing a news story for our newspaper like a real reporter.
