Froggie was a frog who never remembered where he had been． His biggest dream was to find the best pond to（1） in freely without worrying about water snakes， which were his natural enemies． One day， Froggie hopped（跳）to a kitchen and jumped into a pot full of hot water． Froggie felt the burning heat（2） hurried out of the water as fast as his legs could carry him． "I almost（3） there !" Froggie thought． A few days later， Froggie（4） back to the same kitchen， completely forgetting he had been there． He again hopped into the same pot． This time， the water in side was（5） ．He（6） and thought，"There's no water snake trying to eat me and I can have this place all to myself!"At that moment， Froggie knew it was his（7） pond． What he didn't know was that the water was warming up over a low heat．
After thirty（8） of swimming， Froggie felt the water was warmer but he regarded this as a nice surprise．"This sure is the best place for swimming．I get to have a hot bath， too．"（9） his comfortable bath， the water kept getting warmer and warmer． Froggie was so comfortable that he fell asleep． And he（10） woke up．

I shook hands with my father in the truck, and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn’t say a word. But I knew he was going to say a little to me. “I can’t tell ,” he finally said. “I never went to college, andnone of your went to college. I can’t say don’t do this and do that, everything is different. And I don’t know is going to come up. I can’t help much with money, , but I think things will work out. ”
He gave me a new check-book(支票簿). “If you are short of money, a small check. But when you write one, send me a letter and let me how much. There are some things we can always sell.” In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars. My part-time jobs such as to the blind student and sitting with the teachers’ kids filled in the financial gaps.
“You know what you want to be, and they’ll tell you what to take,” my father went on. “When you get a job, be sure it’s honest, and work hard.”
Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old, Bible that he had read so often. He didn’t say read this every morning. He just said, “This can help you if you will let it.”
Did it help? I got through college being a burden on the family. I have been able to make money since.

A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor. Soon they began to _ _ the stress in work and life.
The professor went to the kitchen and returned_ _a pot（壶） of coffee and all kinds of cups — crystal (水晶的), glass, plastic; some nice looking, some common looking; some_ _, some cheap. And he told them to help _ _ 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 common and cheap ones. While it is_ _for you to take only the best for yourselves, that is the root(根源) of your _ _ and stress.
You know that the cup itself adds no quality (质量) to the coffee, _ _you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, _ _ you consciously went for the best cups.
Now consider this: Life is the coffee. The jobs, _ _ and position in society are the cups. They are just _ _to hold life, and the type of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by only paying attention _ _the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has _ _us. God offers us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!”
The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make _ _of everything.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak _ _. And leave the rest to God.
