When all the students 41 a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, "If you have 42 , all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, 43 the plain and cheap ones. While it is 44 for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the 45 of your problems and stress. "
"Be assured that the cup itself adds no 46 to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even 47 what we drink. "
"What all of you really want is coffee, 48 the cup, but you 49 went for the best cups … And then you began 50 each other"s cups. "
"Now consider 51 : Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain 52 , and the type of cup we have does not determine, nor 53 the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we 54 to enjoy the coffee. Fully appreciate the coffee, not the cups! Don"t let the cups 55 you ... enjoy the coffee instead.

I lay there buried alive under our house when the bomb hit our city. The great 21 started by the bomb came nearer and nearer to us as workers tried to 22 us. “Hurry!” they cried to one another as the flames (火焰) came nearer. At last they reached us and 23 me and my mother out from under everything 24 the flames reached us.
Later, as I thought of the pilot of the plane that 25 the bomb on our city, I cried, “I hate him. I hate him.” The people with marked faces from the 26 of the bomb made me cry, “I hate him.” I saw people suffering (遭受) a terrible, 27 death. Again and again I cried as I saw these people, “I hate him!”
Some time later, that man appeared in a meeting I 28 .As I looked at him, I 29 him very much. Then I listened to what he told us of his 30 the day when he dropped the bomb on our city. I heard him say, “When I flew over the city 31 we dropped the bomb, I cried, ‘Oh, God, what have I 32 ’.” I could see that he found it 33 to speak of that day.
As this happened I suddenly 34 my hatred (仇恨) of him was 35 . It only made me unhappy also. As I did this, it was as if a heavy load (负担) 36 my shoulders. Then I decided to 37 him. I did so and my life was 38 .
I now help those who suffer from 39 other people. I try to help them to 40 everyone, as I am now able to do.

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.
When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son 36 up at me and said,“I love you.”I didn"t know what to say. For several 37 all I could do was to 38 there and looked down at him.My first thought was that he must need 39 with his homework or he was trying to 40 me for some news.
Finally I asked,“What was that all about?”
“Nothing,”he said.“My teacher said we should 41 our parents that we love them and see what they say.It is 42 .”
The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment”and how the other parents had 43
“Most of the fathers had the 44 reacting（反应）as you did ,”the teacher said.“When I first 45we try this , I asked the children what they thought their parents would say . Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.“The 46 is,”the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of 47.It is something all people 48 .What I"m trying to tell the children is that it"s too 49 we don"t all express those feelings.A boy should be 50 to tell his dad he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man , understands how 51 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me that evening ,I held on to(抱着)him for 52 second.And just before he 53 away, I said in my deepest, most manly(男子气慨)voice,“Hey, I love you ,too.”
I don"t know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good(感觉很好)，Maybe next time one of my children said“I love you”，it wouldn"t take me a whole 54 to think of the right 55 .

The differences between men and women"s friendships
Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzles (困扰) old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they"re still sitting on the sofa and talking?
What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that women have so much to share.
Betty shrugs. Talk? We"re friends.
Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men. Rubin"s study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to a female friend.
"In general," writes Rubin in her new book, "women"s friendships with each other lie on shared emotions and support, but men"s relationships are marked by shared activities.”
“ Men keep their innermost(内心深处的) feelings to themselves. " Rubin writes, " Whereas(然而) a woman"s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage. However, a man by society doesn’t complain about his marriage trouble. it wasn"t unusual to hear a man say he didn"t know his friend"s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.
