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

Americans love sports . But this hobby sometimes has serious results—at least to the players. For example, when people play tennis, sometimes they hurt their elbow（肘部）. Also it is easy to hurt a knee in a football game. These injuries（毁伤）happen while the player is having fun, but they still hurt.
A few months ago, Kathleen Simmons, who loves playing volleyball, hurt her knee in a volleyball game. Her doctor told her that she needed a very difficult operation（手术）or she might not be able to play again. She felt very sad
Then Simmons learned about “video operation”. With the help of this new science in medicine, doctors can now repair many injuries.
For this operation, her doctor didn’t have to open her knee. Instead he put a very small camera lens（镜头）inside her knee. The lens sent back pictures, which appeared on a television screen. As he worked, he could see the inside of her knee on the TV. With the help of the large pictures on the screen, the doctor knew exactly what to do when he was making the repairs.
Simmons started walking five days after her operation. “My knee hurt a lot the first few days,” she said. “But I felt better very quickly.” Now, six months after her operation, Simmons can do everything she did before her injury. “It feels like a new knee,” she said. “I can even play volleyball again.”Do Americans love sports?
What sport is Simmons interested in?
What did the doctor put inside Simmons’ knee?
What problem may people have when they play sports?
Can Simmons do everything like before?
