A group of classmates got together to visit their old teacher.

These classmates all had good jobs and made lots of money. They talked happily. Then their talk soon turned to complaining about the stress (压力) in work and life. The teacher went to the kitchen and came back with a large pot of coffee and many cups—china (瓷制的) ones, plastic ones and glass ones. Some are plain (朴素的) looking, some are expensive and some are lovely. The teacher told them to help themselves 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 best for yourselves, and that is the source (根源) of your problems.”

“What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you went for the best cups and then began looking at each other’s cups.”

“Now think about this: life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position (位置) in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold, and do not change the life. Sometimes, by caring only about the cups, we fail to enjoy the coffee. So don’t let the cups drive you, and enjoy the coffee instead.”

1.What did the group of classmates get together for?

A. Visiting their old teacher.

B. Enjoying coffee.

C. Complaining about their stress in work and life.

D. Showing each other’s good jobs.

2.What cups did the teacher give to his students?

A. All china cups. B. Plastic and glass cups.

C. Beautiful cups. D. Different kinds of cups.

3.In their teacher’s eyes, why did they have so much stress?

A. Because they cared too much about things that were not important.

B. Because they understood the meaning of life.

C. Because they knew about life itself and enjoyed it.

D. Because they drank too much coffee.

4.What is the best title of this passage?

A. Coffee or Cup B. An Old Teacher

C. Stress in Your Life D. What Do You Want

5.What can we learn from the teacher’s words?

A. We should use the plain and cheap cups to drink coffee.

B. We should think much of cups.

C. We should care about life itself instead of unimportant things.

D. We should learn how to work out problems in our work and life.

阅读短文,根据短文内容回答下列问题。

Internet is educational. Many people think children should be allowed to surf the Internet as they wish. In this way, they can look through different subjects on different kinds of websites according to their own interests. But in my opinion, children should always be watched while surfing the Internet.

Many websites have information and pictures that children should not see. There are many things that children don’t understand. All of these may have some bad influence on children’s development. Also, it is dangerous to let children chat in rooms by themselves. Many parents tell their children not to talk to strangers on the street, so they should be careful of whom their children talk to on the Internet too. What’s more , sitting in the front of a computer for a long time isn't good for children’s eyes, so parents should monitor(监视) the time that children spend on the Internet.

In a word, children should be kept away from anything that could be bad for them. I strongly believe that it is necessary for parents to watch their children when they use the Internet.

1. When should the children always be watched in the writer’s opinion?

____________________________________________________________

2.What do the parents tell children to do when they meet strangers on the street?

____________________________________________________________

3.Why shouldn’t children sit in front of a computer for a long time?

___________________________________________________________

4.Who can help children stay away from the bad influence on the Internet?

___________________________________________________________

5.What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?
