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．

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation(手術(shù)) could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.
　　When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother， “Only a miracle(something couldn’t happen) can save him now，” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
　　She hurried to a drugstore(藥店)with the money in her hand.
　　“And what do you want？” asked the salesman. “ It's for my little brother，” the girl answered. “He's really，really sick and I want to buy a miracle. ”
　　"Pardon？”said the salesman.
　　“My brother Andrew has something bad growing in-side his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost？”“We don't sell a miracle here，child. I'm sorry，”the salesman said with a smile.
　　“Listen，if it isn't enough，I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs. ”
　　A well-dressed man heard it and asked， “What kind of a miracle does your brother need？”　　“I don't know，” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He's really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can't pay for it， so I have brought all my money. ”
　　“How much do you have？” asked the man. “$ 1.11， but I can try and get some more，” she answered.
　　“Well, what luck，”smiled the man. “$ 1.11， the price of a miracle for little brothers. ”
　　He took up the girl's hand and said， “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need. ”
That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn't long before Andrew was home again.
