1、ri 职业；经历, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment s:tmnt 分类 of cups-porcelain（p:slin 瓷器；瓷制的、精美

2、的）, plastic, glass, crystal（kristl 水晶）, some plain（简朴的;朴素的） looking, some expensive, some exquisite（ekskwizit 精美的;精致的）-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

3、 up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal（正常的,正规的,标准的） for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source（根源;来源）of your problems and stress. Be assured （确定的;得到保证的）that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in so

4、me cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously（knsli 有意识地；自觉地） went for the best cups. And then you began eyeing each others cups. Now consider this: life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position（地位;身份） in society are the cups. They a

5、re just tools to hold and contain（包含;容纳）life, and the type of cup we have does not define（解释,给.下定义）, nor change the quality of life we live. （生活就是咖啡；而工作、金钱、社会地位只是装咖啡的杯子。它们不过是承载生活的工具。我们拥有什么样的杯子并不能定义，或是改变我们生活本身的品质。）Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provid

6、ed us.”God brews the coffee, not the cups. Enjoy your coffee!“The happiest people dont 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.2 How do we deal with our problems?Rich or poor, young or ol

7、d, we all have problems. And unless we deal with our problems, we can easily become unhappy. Worrying about our problems can affect how we do at school. It can also influence the way we behave with our families. So how do we deal with our problems? There are many ways. By learning to forget.Most of

8、us have probably been angry with our friends, parents or teachers. Perhaps they said something you didnt like, or you felt they were unfair. Sometimes, people can stay angry for years about a small problem. Time goes by, and good friendships may be lost.When we are angry, however, we are usually the

9、 ones affected. Perhaps we have seen young children and decide not to talk to each other. However, this usually does not last for long. This is an important lesson for us: we can solve a problem by learning to forget.By regarding problems as challenges.Many students often complain about school. They

10、 might feel they have too much work to do sometimes, or think the rules are too strict. We must learn how to change these “problems” into “challenges”. Education is an important part of our development. As young adults, it is our duty to try our best to deal with each challenge in our education with

11、 the help of our teachers.By thinking of something worse.By comparing yourself to other people, you will find your problems are not so terrible. Think about Stephen Hawking, for example, a very clever scientist, who regards his many physical problems as unimportant. He cant walk or even speak, but h

12、e has become very famous and successful. We are probably quite healthy and smart. Lets not worry about our problems. Lets face the challenges instead.3 He used to cause a lot of trouble.Martin Murray is a fifteen-year-old boy. He used to be a “problem child”, but a recent conversation with his mothe

13、r changed his life. He didnt use to give his mother many problems. However, after his fathers deat5h a few years ago, Martins life became much more difficult. His mother couldnt afford to pay for her childs education. To do this, she had to work, and so was often not at home.His mother looked after

14、him as well as she could. Unfortunately, Martin still caused problems for himself and his family. He was not interested in studying and he often got into trouble with the police. Luckily, his mother was very patient, and didnt give up trying to help him. In the end, she made a difficult decision: to

15、 send him to a boys boarding school. Martin hated it and used to cause a lot of trouble. One day, he told his teacher he wanted to leave the school. Even the teacher agreed that Martin was wasting his time.The head teacher said it was necessary for Martin to talk with his mother. Martin called his m

16、other, but to his surprise, this phone call changed his life. “It was exactly what I needed,” he said. “My mother helped me to understand how much she had given me. She also told me that even though my father was no longer with us, he was watching me and would always take pride in everything good I

17、do. Thats when I decided to change. I realize that since my father died, I have been afraid of being alone, and have tried to make my mother pay more attention to me.” Now Martin has really changed. He has been working hard and is now one of the best students in his class. How was he able to change?

18、 His mothers love helped him to feel good about himself, and as Martin himself says, “Its very important for parents to be there for their children.”4 Should I be allowed to make my own decisions?Many teenagers have hobbies. But sometimes these hobbies can get in the way of schoolwork, and parents m

19、ight worry about their childs success at school. Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want. Do you agree?Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star. He is on his school running team and has always wanted to be a professional athl

20、ete. However, his parents wont allow him to train as much as he would like to. “Of course we want to see Liu Yu achieve his dreams,” says Mr. Liu, “and we know how much he loves running. Thats great, and my wife and I have watched him in every one of his races. We have nothing against running. But w

21、e do think that our son needs to be realistic. Now that he is getting older, he needs to think about what will happen if he doesnt become a professional runner in the end.”Liu Yu doesnt really agree. “Well, I think I should be allowed to make decisions for myself.” He says. “My parents have always t

22、aught me the importance of working hard and not just to do what I enjoy. I understand this. But Im serious about running. Being a professional runner is the only thing I have ever wanted to do.”Mr. and Mrs. Liu believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings, and so they dont allow him to prac

23、tice running on school nights. “I know this might seem strict,” says Mrs. Liu, “but we think were doing the right thing. He has to understand that very few people can become professional athletes. Its a very difficult dream to achieve. We dont allow him to practice every day because we think he need

24、s to spend time on his homework.”But Liu Yu still doesnt agree. “I know my parents care about me,” he says. “But they are always talking about what will happen if I dont succeed. But I will succeed. I think I should be allowed to make this decision for myself. Only then will I have a chance of achie

25、ving my dream.”5 only eat food that tastes good.How important is keeping healthy to you? A group of young people got together to discuss this question. Heres part of their discussion.PETER: Id like to stay healthy, but to be honest, I only eat food that tastes good. And if food tastes good, its usua

26、lly bad for you, isnt it? Cola tastes better than water, for example.TONY: Well, food that is bad for you can taste good. But I prefer not to eat too much food that is fried, like, er, French fries. Do you eat fast food, Laura?LAURA: Do I eat fast food? Never. I love to eat food that is healthy. I w

27、ant to take care of my health, so I eat mainly fruit and vegetables. Oh. And I stay away from sugar, you do too, dont you? Hm, yes. And I think most people are in agreement that fruit and vegetables are good for health. But, um, I would say that fast food itself isnt always bad for you, but too much

28、 of it is not goo. Actually, did you know that its been found in laboratory testing that some types of oil are really bad for us? So I dont eat anything thats been cooked in oil. Also, did you know that some foods might cause cancer? Like burnt barbecued meat. Ive heard eating burnt food like this c

29、an increase the risk of cancer. Really. But I love to eat meat thats well cooked, even if it is a little burnt; Its delicious, and meat isnt really dangerous, is it? Oh. Yes, it is. I never eat meat. Its not at all good for our health. If I were you, Id eat nuts instead. Well, I agree its good to ea

30、t lots of fruit and vegetables, but I think its also fine to eat some meat or fish. People who eat a balanced diet should be healthier than those who only eat biscuits and hamburgers, shouldnt they? I prefer to only eat food that I like, but isnt it important to eat food thats healthy, even if you d

31、ont like it? The main thing is to have a good balance.6 Id love to sail across the Pacific.We all dream about things that we would like to do and things we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybodys dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which th

32、ousands of students across China took part.What are the hopes of teenagers?We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after finishing your education? It seems some students would like to start work as soon as possible, so that they can help provide better lives for their parents. Other students hope to continue studying after finishing
