問題詳情：
After leaving school for many years， a group of graduates （畢業生） visited their teacher． All of them complained about problems and stress in their work and life．
The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large bottle of coffee and many kinds of cups﹣china （瓷）， plastic and glass． He told them to help themselves to the coffee．
When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands， the teacher said， "If you noticed， all the nice﹣looking and expensive cups had been taken， but the simple and cheap ones had been left behind． Although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves， that is the source （根源）of your problems and stress． In fact， the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee． it is just a tool to contain （容納） what we drink．"
What all of them really wanted was coffee， not the cups， but they all went for the best cups． And then they began to watch others' cups． Life is the coffee； jobs， money and the social position are the cups． The cups we have do not change the quality of our life．
Sometimes， if we only pay attention to the cup， we will fail to enjoy the coffee．
The happiest people don't have the best of everything． They just make the best of everything．

【分析】本文講述了一位老師透過咖啡和杯子的關係，來告訴學生們一個道理，生活就像咖啡，工作，金錢和社會地位就像杯子，我們所擁有的外在因素並不能改變我們的生活質量，最開心的人並不是擁有最好的東西，他們只是把每件事做到最好．
【解答】（1）D．細節理解題．根據All of them complained about problems and stress in their work and life，可知，這些畢業生因爲生活和工作中遇到的問題和壓力，所以他們感到不是很滿意，故選D．
（2）B．細節理解題．根據The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large bottle of coffee and many kinds of cups﹣china （瓷），plastic and glass，可知，老師從廚房拿出一大杯咖啡和各種各樣的杯子，故選B．
（3）C．推理判斷題．根據the teacher said， "If you noticed， all the nice﹣looking and expensive cups had been taken…it is just a tool to contain （容納） what we drink．"可知，所有好看的，昂貴的杯子都被拿走了，只剩下簡單的，便宜的杯子，但是事實上杯子本身並不能影響咖啡的質量，它只是一個工具．老師想透過各種各樣的杯子讓學生明白生活的一個道理：每個人都想要最好的東西，但是往往這些外界的因素並不能影響生活的質量．故選C．
（4）D．細節理解題．根據In fact， the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee． it is just a tool to contain （容納） what we drink，可知，事實上，杯子本身並不能提高咖啡的質量，它只是一個用來裝我們喝的東西的工具，故選D．
（5）C．推理判斷題．根據If you noticed， all the nice﹣looking and expensive cups had been taken， but the simple and cheap ones had been left behind，可知，沒人選擇簡單，便宜的杯子，所以A選項正確．根據Although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves，可知，每個人都想要最好的東西是很正常的，所以B選項正確．根據Sometimes， if we only pay attention to the cup， we will fail to enjoy the coffee，可知，如果我們只關注杯子，我們就不能享受咖啡了，所以我們不應該更加關注杯子，所以C選項錯誤．根據The happiest people don't have the best of everything． They just make the best of everything，可知，最開心的人不是擁有最好的東西，他們只是把每件事做到最好，所以我們要盡力做好生活中的每件事，所以D選項正確．故選C．
