A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor. They talked about the 36 topic-happiness. But soon their conversation turned into complaints about 37 in work and life.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in 41 . the professor said:" lf you have noticed, all the nice-looking 42 . cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.

What all of you 47 wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went 48 the best cups. Now 49 this: life is coffee, the jobs, money, and 50 in society are the cups, which are just tools to hold and 51 life, and the different types of cups we have don't decide, nor 52 the quality of life. lf we concentrate only on the cups, we will 53 to enjoy the coffee in it.

A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.
The conversation soon turned into complaints about 36 in work and life. Offering his 37 coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and 38 with a large pot of coffee and a 39 of cups---porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive, some beautiful—telling them to 40 themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “if you have 41 , all the nice-looking expensive cups have been 42 , leaving behind the plain and 43 ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the 44 of your problems and stress.”
“Be assured that the cup 45 adds no quality to the coffee. 46 it is just more expensive and in some cases 47 hides what we drink.”
“48 all of you really want is coffee, not the cup, 49 you consciously went for the best cups…. And then you began 50 each other’s cups.”
Now consider this: 51 is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. 52 are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the 53 of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we 54 to enjoy the coffee. Value the coffee, not the cups! Don’t let the cups 55 you … enjoy the coffee instead.

The little boy turned to the old woman next to him, ‘‘Granny, are you sure I don’t have enough money?’’ She nodded. The little boy was still 36 the doll (洋娃娃) in his hand.
I walked toward him, 37 who he wished to give this doll to. “Sister. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring a doll to her.” I told him that maybe Santa Claus would do so. But he replied to me 38 . “No, Santa Claus(圣诞老人) can’t bring it to her 39 she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she 40 there. My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, 41 I thought she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.’’
The little boy looked 42 at me, “I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall. I 43 she didn’t have to leave me, but Daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.” Then he looked 44 at the doll with sad eyes.
I quickly 45 for my wallet. “Let’s check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll!” “OK. I hope I do have enough.” I added some of my money to 46 without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and 47 some spare money. “Thank you God for giving me enough money!” He looked at me and 48 , “I wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my Mommy, but I didn’t dare to ask God 49 too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My mommy loves white roses.”
50 I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, mentioning a drunk man in a truck hit a car 51 by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl 52 right away and the mother was 53 in a critical state.

It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam 36 to begin in a few minutes. On their faces was 37 .This was their last exam—then on to graduation and jobs.

The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n) 40 task, as the professor had said they could bringeither books or notes they wanted, requesting, only 41 that they did not talk to each other during the test.

He looked at the worried faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?” 46 a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hands.
“Three? Two?” The students 47 restlessly(不安地) in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished one.” But the class remained 48 .
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 49 ,” he said. “I just want you to 50 you that, even although you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the 51 you don’t know. These questions you couldn’t answer are relatively common in everyday 52 .” Then smiling, he 53 , “You will all pass this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education has just 54 .”

Michael O’her lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship. The father believed in encouragement.
Though Michael was the 21 of the class when he entered high school, his 22 continued to encourage him, but also made it very clear that he did not have to play 23 if he didn’t want to.
However, Michael loved football and was 24 to try his best at every practice. All through high school, he never 25 a practice or a game, but remained a bench warmer(替补队员) all four years. His 26 father was always in the stands, with words of 27 for him.
It was the end of the football season, and as Michael ran slowly onto the practice field shortly 28 the big final game, the coach met him with a telegram. Michael 29 the telegram and became deathly silent—his father died that morning, and the sad man left for 30 immediately.

Recently I was invited to attend a party that helps children seriously injured in the big earthquake that happened this May. I went because I 31 .
At the party, all the children were given paints in bright, beautiful colors. After a short time, as I 32 , I saw blue clouds, orange sunrises and purple flowers. The 33 were all bright.
The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was 34 and lifeless. It lacked (缺乏) the bright colors that his fellow (同伴) “_35_” had used.
I thought maybe he took the only paint that was 36 and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his 37 was that color. I asked him why and he told me that he was very 38 . He looked straight into my eyes and said, “There is 39 anyone can do that will help.”
I certainly 40 why he was sad. I said, “It isn’t 41 that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not be 42 to make you recover better…but we can do things 43 giving bear hugs (拥抱), which will 44 when you are feeling sad.” I also told him that I’d be happy to give him one 45 he could see what I meant. He immediately gave me a huge hug and I thought my own heart would burst with the 46 I felt for this sweet boy.
As the day was coming to an end, I was getting ready to 47 home. I turned around and found that standing there with 48 on his face was the little boy. He said, “My heart is 49 colors. It is getting brighter. Those 50 really do work.” On my way home I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter color, too.

All he wanted was some juice. As high school students sat in a cafeteria on that cloudy afternoon, he was 36__. We sat near yet away from him, fixing our hair and 37__ about the test period we hadn’t studied for. He was far away from our world, but was 38__ to be a part of it.
He stood at the drink machine on purpose, fumbling(摸索)in his fake(假的)leather wallet for some 39__. He 40__ a wrinkled dollar bill, and 41__ glanced back at his table where other students were sitting. With the help of a six-year-old, he tried to make the machine__42 his money. After a few unsuccessful 43 , the snicker(窃笑)and comment began. People were laughing. Some were even throwing things at him. He began to __44 , and his eyes misted with tears. I saw him turn to sit down, 45__. But for some reason, he decided to try again. He wasn’t leaving until he got a 46__.
With a determined expression, he continued to 47 thrust(插入)the dollar bill into the machine. Then something terrific happened. A popular senior girl 48 from her seat, and with a(an) 49 of genuine compassion(同情), went over to the boy. She explained why the machine had a hard time accepting dollars sometimes, then gave him some change and showed him 50 to place it. The boy gave her his dollar and chose a flavor of fruit juice. Then the two walked off in different __51__.
Although it was __52__ that they were from very different __53__, for one moment, they had shared a real understanding. As I walked away from my lunch table that day, I looked at the boy. I remembered thinking how he and the 54 were very much alike, they both weren’t accepted. But just 55 the dollar had found a place in a caring girl’s pocket, I was sure that boy would finally find his, too.

The Making of a Surgeon
How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a “surgeon”? As my year as chief resident (进修医生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question 36 more than one occasion.
The answer, I concluded, was 37 .When you can say to yourself, “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently, treat just 38 or better than any other surgeon”-- then, and not until then, you are 39 a surgeon.I was 40 that point.
41 , for example, the emergency situations that we met almost every night.The first few months of the year I had 42 the ringing of the telephone.I knew it meant another critical decision to be 43 .Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular 44 , I'd have trouble getting back to sleep.I'd 45 all the facts of the case and, often, wonder 46 I had made a poor decision.More than once at two or three in the 47 , after lying awake for an hour, I’d get out of 48 , dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself.It was the only 49 I could find the 50 of mind I needed to relax.
Now, in the last month of my residency, 51 was no longer a problem.Sometimes I still couldn’t be sure of my decision, but I had learned to 52 this as a constant problem for a surgeon.I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I'd made was bound to be a 53 one.It was a nice feeling.
This all sounds conceited (自负的) and I guess it is -- 54 a surgeon needs conceit.He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he's bothered by the 55 and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine.He has to feel that he's as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world.Call it conceit -- call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it.

It was an afternoon in the winter, some friends and I were talking at a restaurant. We talked and soon swimming became the 36 . Suddenly I hit upon an idea.“Wouldn’t it be _37_ if we went swimming?

Early in the morning, three days _40_, we four were standing at the bus stop, with bags in our hands, _41_ for a bus to take us to the _42_. The sky was clear, the sun was shining, but all the same, it was very cold._43_ our heavy overcoats were not enough to keep us _44_. We all felt that we should go back, but no one wanted to _45_.

We put our feet in first, only to take them back _51_.The water was unbelievably cold.The I 52 that we should all jump in at the same time. We all went back ten steps. I gave the order and we all rushed forward.We jumped.I shall never 53 the feeling I had when I was in the water. I got up and rushed against to the seaside. So _54_ my friends.We put on our clothes as quickly as possible and went home.

As a young man, Al was a skilled artist, a potter. He had a wife and two fine sons. One night, his oldest son 36 a severe stomachache and died suddenly. To make matters worse, his wife left him a short time later, 37 him alone with his six-year- old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were _ 38 _ Al could handle, and he _ 39 to alcohol. Al began to lose everything he possessed---his home, his land, his art objects, everything. 40 he died alone in a San Francisco motel room.
When I heard of Al’s death, I reacted with the same disdain(蔑视)the world shows for one who ends his life with nothing 41 _ left. “What a complete failure!” I thought. “What a totally 42__ life!”
As time went by, I began to re-evaluate my earlier _ 43 judgment. You see, I knew Al’s now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most 44 most loving men I have ever known. I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free 45 of the love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come 46 somewhere.
I hadn’t heard Ernie talk much about his father. It is so hard to 47 an alcoholic. One day I get up my 48 to ask him. “I’m really puzzled by something,” I said. “I know your father was basically the only one to 49 you. 50 on earth did he do that you became such a special person?
Ernie sat _ 51 _ and thought for a few moments. Then he said, “From my _52 memories as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a __53 and said, “I love you, son.”
Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to 54 Al as a failure. He had not left any material possession behind, 55 he left behind one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known.
