A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.
The 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 a variety of cups — porcelain(瓷), plastic, glass — telling them to help themselves to the coffee. Meanwhile the professor stood nearby watching.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “If you have noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. It is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, which is the source of your problems and stress.”
“Be assured 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 want is coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the 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 define, nor change the quality of the life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor(品味) the coffee, not the cups! Don’t let the cups enjoy the coffee instead.”
After listening to his words, the students tasted coffee carefully and found it more delicious than ever.
4．Why did the professor take out various cups with a large pot of coffee?
A．To show his wealth.    B．To tell students the philosophy of life.
C．To offer more choices to students.    D．To match different coffee tastes.
5．According to the professor, what is the source of the students’ problems and stress?
A．Looking for good jobs.    B．Searching for nice companions.
C．Buying a big house.    D．Pursuing perfection.
6．Why did students eye each other’s cups?
A．To make sure their own cups were better.    B．Only to talk about their coffee.
C．To intend to have others’ cups.    D．To exchange their coffee with others.
7．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．Coffee is the best.    B．Cups are nothing.
C．Learn to enjoy your life.    D．The appearance is everything.
