A group of classmates got together to visit their old teacher. These classmates all had good jobs and made lots of money. They talked {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.The teacher asked them the difficulty they had had. Then their talk soon turned to talking about the stress (d压力) in work and life, The teacher went to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}kitchen and came back with a large pot of coffee and many{#blank#}3{#/blank#}—China ones, plastic ones and glass ones. Some are plain looking, some are expensive and some are lovely. The teacher told them to help{#blank#}4{#/blank#} to the coffee.

    When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said,“ Can you notice that all of you took nice-looking expensive cups, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones? You want only the{#blank#}5{#/blank#}for yourselves, and it is the source of your problems.”

    “What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup{#blank#}6{#/blank#} you went for the best cups and then began looking at each other's cups.”

    “Now{#blank#}7{#/blank#} about this; life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position in society {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the cups. They are just tools to hold, and do not change the life. Sometimes, by caring only about the cups, we{#blank#}9{#/blank#} to enjoy the coffee.{#blank#}10{#/blank#} don't let the cups drive you, and enjoy the coffee instead.”

Maria: Let's have hamburgers and chicken {#blank#}1{#/blank#}lunch.

Peter: That {#blank#}2{#/blank#}good. But I don't like hamburgers.

Maria: Then what do you like?

Peter: For lunch, I like chicken and salad.

Maria: OK. Let's {#blank#}3{#/blank#}chicken and salad. What {#blank#}4{#/blank#}do you like?

Peter: I like apples.

    Tigers are very strong and scary. We may see tigers in Europe, Asia and America in the mountains. The tigers live far away from {#blank#}1{#/blank#} houses. They eat birds, hares (野兔) and other small {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. In the day they hide in the dens (巢穴), and at night they go out {#blank#}3{#/blank#} food.

    In {#blank#}4{#/blank#} when tigers are hungry, they will become very {#blank#}5{#/blank#} But now, people cut down many {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, so tigers are losing their homes. Also, some people kill tigers to get {#blank#}7{#/blank#} fur. Some people even buy things made {#blank#}8{#/blank#} tiger bones (虎骨). So the number of tigers {#blank#}9{#/blank#} getting smaller and smaller.

    Animals are our {#blank#}10{#/blank#} friends. In order to protect them, we must build many natural reserves. And we must stop people from hunting.
