A group of class friends, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the and returned with a large pot of coffee and a couple of — porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some looking, some expensive, some delicate — telling them to themselves to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in , the professor said: “If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is for you to choose only the best for yourselves, that is the of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went the best cups. And then you began each other’s cups. Now consider this: Life is the ; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define nor the quality of life we . Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we to enjoy the coffee God has for us. God brews the coffee, not the cups…Enjoy your coffee!” The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just the best of everything. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the to God.

My grandfather went to high school in the 1920s. While in school, he became in the drama program, acting in various productions. He in touch with his drama teacher. My father went to high school in the 1960s. Like his before him, he acted in high school. He, too,stayed in touch with his drama teacher for the rest of the teacher"s I graduated in 1997. When Hoover, my drama teacher, was in Alaska, I didn"t want her to feel like she was ending her life , so I sent her many packages, including Drama Club yearbook photos from each year she there in order that she could see the students whose lives she forever . Her nickname for our group of Drama Club was "the Throwaway Kids". , no? She described us as that we were nonconformists (不墨守成规者) that other teachers didn"t know what to do with. She simply us for who we are, and that was exactly what we needed. We have all become members of society: reporters, lawyers, and singers, soldiers, doctors and, you guessed it, teachers. Every member of my family is a teacher. This year the 73rd year we have taught in Alaska altogether. me, teaching the course is only one important part of the job. As I returned to my classroom just before the final bell on the last day of school in May, I thought how the most emotional part of the experience will not be seeing the recent return to say "hello" at Christmas. That was how the of keeping in touch with our teachers our whole life long began in my family. Honestly, learning a lifetime.

One day a few years ago we had an uninvited guest—a sparrow. the little bird had flown into our open garage. Then I the bird before I saw it. “What’s that?”I asked when I first heard the sound. “It’s coming from the .”my wife, Anita, said. “Maybe it’s one of the little .” I looked into the garage. No children at all. But there was that sound again, coming from right up there. And that’s I saw the sparrow. It was flying just inches below the ceiling. It was clearly to get out, but couldn’t see the way out was not up, but and and out through the garage door. So the bird continued flapping its wings and bumping its little head the ceiling. I tried to terrify it out, but only succeeded in driving it into the open space between the door and the ceiling. Then I tried to show the bird how to fly down a few feet it could get outside, but that only seemed to it more. “Why don’t we just leave for a few minutes,” Anita .“I’m sure he’ll figure it out eventually.” We went back into the house, where we to hear the ongoing struggle between the sparrow and the ceiling. Then suddenly, it was and our uninvited guest was gone. I’ve that little sparrow through the years, and I’ve decided that birds are not different much from people. We think we were to fly ever upward, and we don’t even consider the that something good might happen if we just fly down a little bit.

Sharing Beauty It was in October. I was aimlessly wandering down the street, heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but it seemed everyone was in a hurry. I took the next-best action. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She looked at me as though I were from some other planet. She hesitated, and then seemingly against her better judgment, she moved toward the door. When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.” For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world.” I thanked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and I left. It felt good to share the beauty. Four years later my situation changed greatly. I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. I lived in a trailer park which, at the time, I considered a real come-down, and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room. One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing sales in a department store. Then something that happened to her changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world,” and she had realized the truth in that statement. From that moment on, she turned her life around. 小题1:The author asked the woman to go outside to ______.A.admire the sunset | B.cheer her up | C.offer some help | D.have a chat | 小题2:Four years later, the author ______.A.found her dream job | B.put an end to her marriage | C.worked in a laundry room | D.lived in the same community | 小题3:After reading the article in the magazine, the author was probably______.A.disappointed | B.puzzled | C.inspired | D.overjoyed |
