    When George was thirty-five, he bought a small plane and learned to fly it. He soon became very good at it and made his plane do ①all kinds of tricks.

    George had a friend. His name was Mark. One day George wanted to take Mark up in his plane. Mark thought, "I've traveled in a big plane several times, but I've never been in a small one. So I'll do."

    They went up, and George flew around for half an hour and did all kind sof tricks in the air.

    When they came down again, Mark was very glad to be back ②safely, and he said to his friend in a shaking (颤抖的)voice ,"Well ,George, thank you very much for those two trips in your plane."

    George was very surprised and said, "Two trips?"

    "Yes, my first and my last," answered Mark.

A group of students visited their teacher after leaving school for many years. All of them talked about {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(problem) in their work and lives. It seemed that they were not satisfied with themselves. 

Then {#blank#}2{#/blank#} teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and many kinds of cups — china, plastic and glass. He told them {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(help) themselves to the coffee. 

When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the teacher said {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(slow), "Have you noticed that all the nice-looking and expensive cups have been taken and the common ones have been left behind? Maybe it is not wrong to choose the best things {#blank#}5{#/blank#} yourselves. However, it is the source(根源) of all your trouble. Does the cup itself add anything to the coffee? Of course not. It is just a tool to hold {#blank#}6{#/blank#} you drink. "

"It was coffee that you really wanted, not the cups, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} you all went for the best cups and then began to watch others' cups. Life is the coffee while jobs, money and the social positions are the cups. Coffee is {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(important) than cups. The cups don't decide what your life is. " All the students understood {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the teacher said. 

Sometimes if we pay attention to the cups, we will not enjoy the coffee. The people {#blank#}10{#/blank#} are the happiest in the world may not have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.
