Question

To offer his guests coffee, the professor【1】(go) to the kitchen and returned with a pot of coffee and【2】variety of cups—porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking, some expensive—telling them to help【3】to the coffee.

【4】was when all the students had a cup of coffee in hand that he said, “All the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, 【5】 (leave) behind the plain and cheap ones. Actually, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. 【6】all of you really want is coffee, not the cup.You consciously went for the best cups, 【7】then you began eyeing others’ cups.”

“Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups, 【8】are just tools to hold and contain life. The type of cup we have does not change the quality of life .

【解析】試題分析：教授用杯子與咖啡來解釋生活的意義和價值，我們很多人在生活中往往忽視了生活的價值，而去追求一些沒有意義的事情，只會給自己帶來巨大的壓力。

【1】客人來了，那位教授走進(jìn)廚房，回來的時候帶著咖啡和杯子。用一般過去式：went

【2】從下文：orcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking, some expensive可知教授拿來各種各樣的杯子。a variety of各種各樣的，

【3】他應(yīng)該讓學(xué)生自己去拿咖啡。Help themselves“自便”。

【4】就在所有的學(xué)生拿了杯子的時候，他說話了。這里用強(qiáng)調(diào)句，填It

【5】漂亮的杯子都已經(jīng)被拿走了，剩下的都是普通的。用leaving做結(jié)果狀語

【6】你們大家想要的只是咖啡。用What引導(dǎo)主語從句，在主語從句中what做賓語。

【7】但是你們有意識的去拿漂亮的杯子，那時你們甚至看著其他人的杯子。表示并列關(guān)系用：and

【8】指工作，錢就像杯子一樣，他們是用來承載生活的。這里用which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，修飾cups。

【9】指我們只關(guān)注了杯子，卻未能享受生活。Concentrate on專注于

【10】我真心的希望你們不要讓杯子驅(qū)趕著，而要享受里面的咖啡。副詞“真正地”：truly
