A group of old classmates, who have succeeded in their work, got together to visit their old university professor. The conversation soon turned to complaining about the stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and many cups-china(瓷), plastic and glass, some plain(朴素的) looking, some expensive and some lovely. The professor told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “Can you notice all the nice looking expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones? While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source(根源) of your problems and stress.”
“What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you went for the best cups and were eyeing each other’s cups.”
“Now think about this: life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and do not change the quality of life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cups, we fail to enjoy the coffee. So don’t let the cups drive you, enjoy the coffee instead.” What did the group of old classmates get together for?

“If we don’t often wash our hands, we can pick up viruses（病毒）form many places and make ourselves ill,” a man from CDC says. Doctors always say every time when you touch your eyes, nose or mouth, you may be ill. In fact, one of the common（平常的） ways of catching a cold is by rubbing（擦拭）their noses or their eyes when there are viruses on their hands. If you don’t often wash your hands, especially when you’re sick, you may spread the viruses to others. You should wash your hands in these situations:
1. After using the washroom
2. After rubbing your nose or coughing.
3. Before eating or making food.
4. After touching animals.
5. After visiting a sick man.
6. When your hands are dirty.
There’re right ways to wash your hands. Follow these things to keep your hands clean:
1. Use warm water (not cold or hot).
2. Wash for 15 seconds.
3. Wash well under warm running water and dry them with a clean towel.

When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over. You don’t want to work. You stay in bed, feeling terrible.
What makes you ill? They are germs. Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can’t see them with your eyes, but you can find them with a microscope（显微镜）. They are very small and there could be lots of them on or in a very small thing.
Germs are always in the dirty water. When you look at dirty water under a microscope, you will see them in it. So your parents will not let you drink dirty water.
People can also find germs in the air and dust. If you cut your finger, and if some of the dust goes into the finger, it will become big and red, and you will have much pain. Sometimes they will go into your body and you will have pain everywhere.
