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．

Dear Sir,

I am writing to you about my stay at your hotel.

My wife and I  1 on Saturday, 15^th, May and stayed   2 a week. Though we were treated __3 and found the service(服務(wù)) excellent, we  4 there are one or two matters we   5 bring your attention.

First, we had hoped for a nice  6 from our busy work lives, and your ad   7  "Comfortable and qui­et". We want to have a chance to enjoy ourselves. How­ever,  we were  8 to find that repairs are sometimes needed,  but is it  9 necessary to start early in the morning?

Second, we had hoped to  10 in your "wonderful pool". To our disappointment (失望)， we found that it was   11 for the whole time of our stay.

I   12 you do not mind me writing to you   13 these things,  but I would be happy  14__  you could give me some explanation(解釋). As I  15__ at the start, it is a pity,  and your service is so well in other fields.

I hope to hear from you.

Mr. Hector Bradley
