A group of adults, who succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor. Soon they began to complain about the trouble and stress in their work and life.

The ____ went to the kitchen and returned ____ a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups — crystal (水晶的), glass, plastic; some nice looking, some ordinary looking; some ____, some cheap. And he told them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “I’ve noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were ____, leaving behind the ordinary and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to achieve only the best for yourselves, that is the root (根) of your ____ and stress.

You know that the cup itself ____ no quality to the coffee. What you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, ____ you all reached for the best cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee. The jobs, money and ____ in society are the cups. They are just ____ to hold life, and the kind of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, paying too much attention to the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has offered us. God offers us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!”

When we talk of plants, most of us will think of things that grow from the ground and have green leaves, but there are plants that do not look or act like other plants. Some of these belong to a special class of plants called fungi.

Fungi may appear almost anywhere. They normally grow in wet places where they can get food and water easily. Because fungi do not have green leaves to make their own food, fungi must take their food from animals, other plants or water. Some fungi live on dead or rotting(腐爛的)wood, while others grow on living trees or in dirt. Mushrooms(蘑茹)are the best-known fungi.

There are many kinds of mushrooms appearing in all shapes and sizes. For example, cauliflower(菜花)mushrooms are found in forests from July to October.They can grow to be as heavy as fifty pounds! They grow at the foot of trees. Squirrel’s(松鼠)bread is another kind of wild mushroom Its appearance and use can explain its name. These fungi look like small golden cakes. Squirrels can easily eat them or carry them off to their holes to eat later.
