After the classmates reunion, some graduates decided to visit their old university professor.
The conversation soon turned into 31 about stress in work and life. 32 his guests with coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and 33 with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups—porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some 34 , some expensive, some exquisite— 35 them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee 36 , the professor said, “ 37 you have noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, 38 the plain and cheap ones. While it is 39 for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the 40 of your problems and stress. \\cup itself adds no 41 to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even 42 what we drink. \\all of you really want is coffee, not the cup, but you 43 went for the best cups... and then you began 44 each other’s cups.”
“Now consider this: life is the 45 ; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the
type of cup we have does not 46 , nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only 47 the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. 48 the coffee, not the cups! Don’t let the cups 49 you ... enjoy the coffee 50 .”

I think people everywhere dream about having lots of money. You could win a large amount of money in the United States through lotteries. People pay money for tickets with numbers. If your combination of numbers is chosen, you win a huge amount of money --- often in the millions.
A few years ago, my friend Al won the lottery. It changed his life. He did not have a rich family. He was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Instead, my friend was always hard up for cash. And the money he did earn was chicken feed --- very little.
Sometimes Al even had to accept gifts from his family and friends. But do not get me wrong. My friend was not a deadbeat. He was not the kind of person who never paid the money he owed. He was always very careful with the money he spent. In fact, he was often a cheapskate（守财奴）. He did not like to spend money.
One day, Al got together a few dollars for a lottery ticket. He thought he would never strike it rich or gain lots of money unexpectedly. But his combination of numbers was chosen and he won the lottery and won a great deal of money.
Al was so excited. The first thing he did was to buy a costly new car. Then he started spending money on unnecessary things. He started to waste it. It was like he had money to burn. He had more money than he needed and it was
