18、xpensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap onesWhile it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stressBe assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffeeIn most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases eve

19、n hides what we drinkWhat all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups. And then you began eyeing each others cupsNow consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cupsThey are just tools to hold and contain life, a

20、nd the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we liveSometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us“God brews the coffee, not the cupsEnjoy your coffee!“The happiest people dont have the best of everythingThey just make the m

Most people would say that, while these self-destructive (自我毁灭的 ) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious

24、thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them.According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesnt quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes its having will power that re

25、ally gets you into trouble.Think back to the time you took your very first sip of beer. Disgusting, wasnt it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette it tastes awful. So even thoug

26、h smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (诱惑) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather t

27、han give in to them, can ever come to some day develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and co

28、ol.These bad habits arent self-control failures far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also th

29、e wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.28What do most people think causes bad behavior?ABeing forced by others.

32、ome inventions are so useful, but seem so simple, that we wonder why no one thought of them long ago. Post-it Notes, the pieces of paper that you can stick almost anywhere and then remove without leaving any sign that they are there, are an example of such an invention.Post-it Notes were invented ab

33、out twenty years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Corporation. The idea for the product came from an upsetting experience he often had while singing in his church choir. Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. He kn

34、ew he needed a bookmark that would stay where he put it, but that he could remove without damaging the pages.Around that time, Fry heard about a new adhesive(粘合剂) that a colleague, Dr. Spence Silver had created. This adhesive was special because it was sticky, but not too sticky. It was strong enoug

35、h to hold papers together, but weak enough not to tear the paper when it was removed. Fry saw that the new adhesive could help solve his bookmark problem. One morning, Fry put some of the adhesive on the edge of a piece of paper. Just as he hoped, it made a perfect bookmark.A short time later, Fry r

36、ealized that his new invention had even more uses than being a great bookmark. He came to this realization when he wrote a note on one of his new “bookmarks” and attached it to a report he was going to give to a colleague. Soon, co-workers were asking Fry for more sample of his invention so that the

37、y could use the new type of notes themselves.Fry and some other people at 3M believed so much in the new product that they persuaded the company to give away thousands of the sticky pieces of paper for trial use. When some salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new

38、 type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered how useful Post-it Notes could be, the product took off.32The invention of Post-it Notes showed that Art Fry _.Ahad a lot of knowledge. Bwas very hard-working.Cwas good at creative thinking Dloved his

39、job in the church33In what way did Dr. Spence help Art Fry?AThey worked together and often discussed science.BHis invention of a special adhesive made Arts invention possible.CHe persuaded 3M Corporation to give away lots of Post-it Notes for trial use.DHe cooperated with Art by providing the new ad

40、hesive for Art.34Which of the following is a possible use of Post-it Notes?AA note on a friends door. BAn e-mail to a friend.Ca postcard from abroad. DAn ad in a newspaper.35The biggest advantage of Post-it Notes is _.Ait can stay anywhere and leave no sign when removed.Bit is very cheap to use.Cit
