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, and 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 usGod brews the coffee, not the cupsEnjoy your coffee!The happiest people dont have the best of everythingThey just make the most of everythingLive simplyLove generouslyCare deeplySpeak kindlyLeave the rest to God1.Why did the professor offer his students coffee with varieties of cups?A.

Professors Coffee CupsB When Chris moved in across the hall from Norma Cook four years ago in a Los Angeles-area apartment complex, the 31-year-old actor waved to his 85-year-old neighbor for a few weeks before finally knocking on her door and introducing himself. “The day I entered her apartment and spoke with her face to face was the day my life was changed forever,”Chris said.He learned that Cook had no family living in California and that she suffered from a long list of illnesses, including leukemia (白血病). The pair quickly became close friends, as Chris took her to doctors appointments, cooked with her and they ran errands (差事) together. He shared their adventures on social media. But recently, Cooks health declined and she was in and out of the hospital several times. She once spent weeks in the hospital fighting pneumonia and breathing issues. Eventually Cook was told by one of her doctors that she could no longer live at home unless she had 24-hour care. Because Cook had no money saved to pay her health care costs, Chris started a Go Fund Me account to help cover her bills.But caretakers are expensive and Cook quickly ran out of the $34,445 they raised. Knowing her days at home were limited, Chris invited Cook to move in with him to save money.“She loves it! I do most of my work at home so I am here most of the time to care for her. It only made sense to both of us.” Chris wrote. “She is my adopted grandmother after all and I am her grandson she never had.”“Cook still has weekly hospice health care visits and regular visits from caregivers, so any funds raised cover those expenses,”he wrote. Though doctors say Cooks days are very limited, the pair are enjoying spending time together drinking champagne and snuggling with her cat, Hermes, who also made a move.“She does not want to change,” Chris told Today. “My apartment was the only place she would have moved. She has strong opinions about where she wants to carry out the rest of her days, and she wants to stay here.” Chris says he feels like the relationship was fate. “Moving her in.it feels as though it was meant to be all along, ” he said. “Its really fulfilling to be there for her.”4.Which of the following statements is true about Cook?A.
