A group of class friends, rich and successful, got together to visit their old university professor. They    a lot. Soon their conversation turned into complaining         stress in work and life．
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the       and returned with a large pot of coffee and some      —porcelain(瓷的), plastic, glass, crystal(水晶的).Some were cheap,  while others were expensive. He told them to         one for themselves to the coffee．
When all the students had a cup of coffee in each      ,the professor said：“If you noticed，everyone had chosen the nice looking expensive cups ,      behind the cheap ones. While it is natural for you to choose only the best for yourselves, that’s        you always feel so stressed out．Be sure that the cup itself does not make the coffee taste      . What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup,      you consciously (自覺地) chose the best cups．Now consider this：Life is the       ; the jobs, money and success are the cups. They are only     to hold life, and the type of cup does not mean anything. Sometimes, by concentrating only        the cup, we        to enjoy the coffee God has made for us. ”
The happiest people don’t have the best of everything．They just make the best of everything．Live simply．Love gently．Care deeply．Speak kindly．Leave the       to God．

Ms. LaRosa is a great teacher. She can answer almost any question that you have about any history topic and if she cannot, she will try her best to help you find the answer. Although she has a hearing aid(助聽器., she does not let that prevent her from being a great teacher. She told the class about it on the first day and told us not to let it get in the way of our learning and not to treat her differently.
We all like her class, especially an activity which is called the station. Stations are when our tables of four or five become our groups and we go through four various activities, such as Ancient China, in which we need to put together a sentence and write it using ancient symbols. Each station needs about 40 minutes to complete.
Ms. LaRosa has a policy that not many teachers give a second thought to. That is writing in cursive (草書的.letters. She will provide you with various resources so that your cursive handwriting is the best that it can be. Ms. LaRosa always says that she has a reason for everything that she does. Recently we just understood her reason for supporting cursive handwriting. Cursive writing can force you to think in words but not in letters. Also it has been proven that people who write in cursive letters do better on tests.
Ms. LaRosa’s class gets to do various fun and exciting things. She also uses real examples from her own life, such as things that her daughter has done. Ms. LaRosa also has absolute trust in her students. She always leaves her purse on her desk.
