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.

China has decided to take actions to stop the use of free plastic bags. Supermarkets and shops in China aren’t allowed to offer free plastic bags.
Every year, people use too many plastic bags and fail to deal with them in a right way. While we offer quick and useful service to customers, the plastic bags cause serious pollution as well. For example, people will throw away plastic bags after they use them. The waste plastic bags may fly with the wind and make the environment ugly. Worse still, animals may eat them by mistake and die. Besides, It’s difficult to find new land to put the waste plastic bags in, so plastic bags are burned. The burning plastic bags give out harmful gas.
So the government encourages people to go back to carry cloth bags and use baskets for their shopping things.
