A group of graduates, successful in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor.Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Before offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups — porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking and cheap, some extremely expensive — telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.The fact is that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee.In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously(有意識(shí)地) went for the best cups...And then you began eyeing each other's cups.
Now consider this: Life is the coffee; 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 change the quality of life we live.Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us."God makes the coffee, not the cups.Enjoy your coffee!"The happiest people don't have the best of everything.They just make the best of everything."
Live simply.Love generously.Care deeply.Speak kindly.Leave the rest to God.
1.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.the nice-looking cup
B.the ordinary-looking cup
C.the coffee of good quality
D.the coffee of poor quality
2.Why did the professor offer his students coffee with varieties of cups?
A.To give his students many more choices.
B.To teach his students how to enjoy coffee.
C. To tell his students the right attitude to life
D.To show the students his collection of cups.
3.According to the professor, the happiest people are the ones who _____.
A.get the best type of coffee cups
B.care about social status and wealth
C.have a wide range of coffee cups
D.make the best of what they have
1.A
2.C
3.D
【解析】
試題分析:文章通過(guò)杯子和咖啡告訴大家要追求生活的本質(zhì),不要被外表所迷惑。
1.1】A猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)上文Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee,可知杯子不能增加咖啡的質(zhì)量,但是這個(gè)杯子很昂貴,甚至在某種情況下能掩蓋我們所喝的東西。所以選A。
2.2】C主觀推理題。通讀全文可知文章就是通過(guò)這樣的事告訴他的學(xué)生要追求生活的本質(zhì),不要被外表所迷惑。因此可知選C。
3.3】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段"The happiest people don't have the best of everything.They just make the best of everything,"最幸福的人并不是擁有最好的一切,他們只是每件事都盡力去做。所以選D。

Mom and dad are the most important people in your life, and they’re likely to influence you more than anyone else in your lifetime. It’s a parent’s job to love and guide kids, and most parents will do this as long as they live. 1. Here are four ways you can stay close, get along, and build a strong relationship.
Spend time together. It might be easy to be physically in the same place with your mom and dad. 2. Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV by yourself, maybe you should ask your mom and dad to play with you. You can go outside together, try a board game, or read a book together.
3. Many kids say they would like their parents to help them when they’re upset. But your mom and dad might not know that you’re having a problem. Tell your parents if you’re sad or struggling with something. If you don’t usually do this, give it a try and you will be glad.
Be kind. Little things might mean a lot to your mom and dad. 4. It’s also lovely when a kid offers to help fold the laundry or cleans up his or her room without being asked. And if you try not to fight with your brothers or sisters, your parents might be so excited!
Show your care. Some families are always kissing, hugging, and saying “I love you” 5. In addition to kisses and hugs, kids and parents can show their love by respecting each other, being caring, polite, and thoughtful.
A. But how much time do you spend just enjoying each other’s company(陪伴)?
B. It’s important to show that you care for each other.
C. But parents do a lot more than just pass down their hobbies.
D. Share your feelings and ask for help.
E. Talk on the phone and email each other to stay in touch.
F. You can brighten your parents’ day with a hug, a card or a joke.

Many people keep the stamps in a drawer at home because they’ll never know when they might need them! The trouble is that they have no idea of how many stamps they have left. When they want to send something by post, it’s very annoying to find out that they have run out of stamps!
The Internet is possible to solve the problem. The United States Postal Service has come up with a system which allows people to print their own postage stamps at their own home! This is the perfect solution for those people that have busy lives!

These days, you can have much more fun with your stamps. You can buy them online instead of going to the post office. You can decorate, preview (預(yù)覽) and print your stamps all at your own home. You are able to use any of your own photos as part of your postage stamp as well.
These stamps aren’t just allowed to be used in the United States; they can be used to send your mail throughout the world. They are perfect to use for many special occasions, such as weddings, festivals and even birthdays! They are fantastic!
