She poured some tea. There were four of them and there were four completely different cups on the
tables.
"I heard there was a teacher who took all his students for tea. His students were surprised that all the
cups on the table were different. They all took a cup and started drinking their tea, each looking at the cups
of others. The teacher said, "Did you notice your behavior? You are all looking at each other"s tea cup and
some of you even envy (羡慕) the finer cups of others."
"I put the different cups here on purpose. I want to say life is like this tea. You all have the same thing in
your cups--tea. And yet you cannot truly enjoy it in your envy of another"s cup. You forget to enjoy your own
life when you envy someone else"s life. We all have the same thing--life. We should care more about the tastes
of your own life. So now, taste your own tea. Does it matter from which cup it came from?" Mary finished
telling her story and her students all sat in silence for a while, enjoying their tea. And it really did not matter
a bit from which teacup they drank. | | 1. Which of the following statement is TRUE? | A. All of the students had the same kind of cups.

other, make sure you introduce everyone.
If your guests bring gifts for you, thank each gift----giver as you open his/her present. After the party, be
sure to send a hand-written thank-you card to each guest, telling them how much you appreciate their gifts.
When you receive a invitation to a party, be sure to let the host know whether you can come.
Arrive on time. Bring a gift to a birthday party. <4>If it"s a holiday party, ask the host if there"s anything
