A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor. Soon they began to __31__ the stress in work and life.
The professor went to the kitchen and returned __32__ a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups — crystal (水晶的), glass, plastic; some nice looking, some plain looking; some __33__, some cheap. And he told them to help __34__ 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 __35__, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is __36__ for you to take only the best for yourselves, that is the root of your __37__ and stress.
You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee, __38__ you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, __39__ you consciously went for the best cups.
Now consider this: Life is the coffee. The jobs, money and __40__ in society are the cups. They are just __41__ to hold life, and the type of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by __42__ only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has __43__ 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 __44__ of everything.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak __45__. And leave the rest to God.

Red is used in many American expressions. It can be used to show happiness, as in the expression “a red-letter day”. This is a day when something special happens. The expression is probably based on church customs. For almost 600 years, church calendars have been marked with red to show special holy(神圣的)days. Today’s calendars are still marked that way with the dates of holidays and special days printed in red.
The expression “a red-letter day”is often heard in daily life. “A red-letter day” is a day that people are especially happy. It may be a day that you have waited for a long time, a wedding day, for example. Or it may be a day with a happy surprise. You might tell a friend that yesterday was a red-letter day, because you won some money in the lottery.
“Rolling out the red carpet” is another commonly heard expression. It describes an especially warm welcome of any kind. A city may “roll out the carpet ”for its baseball team, when the team arrives home after winning a championship. A group of supporters go to the air port to the greet the team. The red-carpet welcome includes a lot of cheering by thousands of fans, a parade, music and speech of praise by local statesmen.
Red is also used in some expressions that are not happy. “Red-handed ” is an example. To be caught “red-handed” is to be found in an act of wrong doing. The evidence is clear. You are guilty. Today we use the expression “ to be caught red-handed ”in situation(情況)that are not serious. For example, a mother might say she caught her son red-handed, taking cookies out of the cookie jar.

It was the last day of the final examination(考試)in a college. On the steps of building, a group of engineering students were waiting for the last exam. On their faces was confidence(自信).
They knew the exam would be easy. The professor(教授) had said they could bring any books or notes during the test.
Right after they came into the classroom. The professor handed out the papers. There were only five questions on it.
Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression. The professor watched the worried faces before him, and then asked. “How many of you have completed all five questions?” No hand was raised. “How many of you have answered four?” Still no hands. “Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats. “One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one.” But the class kept silent(沉默). The professor said, “That is exactly what I expected(期盼). I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all pass this course, your education has just begun.”
