God's Coffee
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation
soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen
and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking,
some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up,leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee; 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 define,nor change the quality of Life we live.Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us."

God brews the coffee, not the cups.......... Enjoy your coffee!

"The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything."
Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
Leave the rest to God.

上帝的咖啡

一群事業有成的同學回去看望他們的大學老師，很快他們開始抱怨生活和工作中的壓力。

老師去廚房為客人們准備咖啡，回來時端著一大壺咖啡和各式各樣的杯子，這些杯子有陶瓷的、塑料的、玻璃的、水晶的，有的普通，有的昂貴，有的精緻，老師讓大家隨意享用。

等每個人都端起一杯咖啡，老師說話了：你們注意到嗎：所有好看昂貴的杯子都被用了，剩下那些樸素便宜的杯子。你們都只想要最好的，這很正常，這恰恰是你們的問題和壓力所在。杯子不會讓咖啡的質量變得更好，很多時候，只是讓它變得更貴一些，甚至，有時候，讓人忽略了到底我們在喝什麼。你們真正想要的其實是咖啡，不是杯子，但你們有意識地去拿那些最好的杯子，隨後開始打量其他人手上的杯子。想想吧：生活好比咖啡，工作、金錢和社會地位都只是杯子，只是生活的容器，而我們擁有的杯子既無法定義、也無法改變我們生活的質量。有時，由於我們只關心杯子，我們甚至不能夠好好品嘗上帝賜予我們的咖啡。

上帝沖泡了咖啡，不是杯子。······享受你們的咖啡吧。

最快樂的人們並不是因為他們擁有最好的一切，他們只是把一切當成最好。

簡單地活著。仁慈地愛著。深深地關心著。友善地說話。

其他的，就留給上帝吧。

我也是講這篇，如果你是我們這的話，那就不要用了

One summer afternoon, the cat was taking a nap as the tiger sitting nearby. Looking at the cat, the tiger suddenly thought, why should he keep befriending with such a small animal since he had already learnt all the skills from the cat? The evil tiger decided to kill the sleeping cat as a before dinner snack. The tiger stood up and approached the cat viciously. Just as this moment, the cat woke up. Opening up her eyes, the smart cat immediately realized what the tiger was trying to do and swiftly jumped onto a nearby tall tree and climbed to the top branch.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I』m Angela Zhang from Class 4 Grade 8. Today, my topic is, 「The Shanghai World Expo」.

First, I』ll say something about World Expo History. As we know, the very first World Expo, the Great Exhibition of 1851, took place in the Crystal Palace in London. UK. Ever since then, the goals of World Expos have been both high-minded as well as commercial. Visitors are able to explore the world outside of their everyday experience—outside cultures, new scientific advancements, and new inventions. World Expos have excited and inspired more and more people in the world.

On December3, 2002, the Bureau of International Expositions (or call it BIE) announced that Shanghai will host Expo2010. the BIE had received bids from five cities to host Expo2010. Among the 5 nice cities, the BIE chose Shanghai at last! It』s really an exciting news for not only Shanghainese, but also all of Chinese people. Here are some details about it.

Look at this profile carefully. The title is 「The 2010 World Exposition ,Shanghai, China 」. this is the logo.
And the theme is 「better city., better life」.OK, let』s guess who is the image representative? Yeah, you』re right, Yao Ming!

Shanghai Expo is the first comprehensive World Expo held in a developing country. And it is also the first one that takes 「the city」 as its theme, hoping that it can push forward the city development and help bring about a better urban living environment, just like the theme: better city, better life.
I think, as a student in Shanghai, we should learn to be a gentle person and keep good manners from now on. And try to practice English more in order to communicate with foreigners fluently in the near future. Because, we』re a part of Shanghai!

1.THE WOLF AND THE LAMB

A lamb was grazing with a flock of sheep one day. She soon found some sweet grass at the edge of the field. Farther and farther she went, away from the others.

She was enjoying herself so much that she did not notice a wolf coming nearer to her. However, when it pounced on her, she was quick to start pleading, "Please, please don't eat me yet. My stomach is full of grass. If you wait a while, I will taste much better."

The wolf thought that was a good idea, so he sat down and waited. After a while, the lamb said, "If you allow me to dance, the grass in my stomach will be digested faster." Again the wolf agreed.

While the lamb was dancing, she had a new idea. She said, "Please take the bell from around my neck. If you ring it as hard as you can, I will be able to dance even faster."

The wolf took the bell and rang it as hard as he could. The shepherd heard the bell ringing and quickly sent his dogs to find the missing lamb. The barking dogs frightened the wolf away and saved the lamb's life.

MORAL: The gentle and weak can sometimes be cleverer than fierce and strong.

2.The Ox and the Frog
"Oh Father," said a little Frog to the big one sitting by the side of a pool, "I have seen such a terrible monster! It was big as a mountain, with horns on its head, and a long tail, and it had hoofs divided in two."
"Tush, child, tush," said the old Frog, "that was only Farmer White's Ox. It isn't so big either; he may be a little bit taller than I, but I could easily make myself quite as broad; just you see."

So he blew himself out, and blew himself out, and blew himself out.

"Was he as big as that?" asked he.

"Oh, much bigger than that," said the young Frog.

Again the old one blew himself out, and asked the young one if the Ox was as big as that.

"Bigger, Father, bigger," was the reply.

So the Frog took a deep breath, and blew and blew and blew, and swelled and swelled.
And then he said, "I'm sure the Ox is not as big as this."
But at that moment he burst.

Self-conceit may lead to self-destruction.
