The conversation soon turned into complaints about  36  in work and life. Offering his  37  coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and  38  with a large pot of coffee and a  39  of cups---porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive, some beautiful—telling them to  40  themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “if you have  41 , all the nice-looking expensive cups have been  42 , leaving behind the plain and  43  ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the  44  of your problems and stress.” 高考网wWw.GaoKw.cOm

“Be assured that the cup  45  adds no quality to the coffee.  46  it is just more expensive and in some cases  47  hides what we drink.”
“ 48  all of you really want is coffee, not the cup,  49  you consciously went for the best cups…. And then you began  50  each other’s cups.”

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we  54  to enjoy the coffee. Value the coffee, not the cups! Don’t let the cups  55  you … enjoy the coffee instead.

第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Without any hesitation, he said, “I’d be better off dead.” Hearing those words come out of my best friend’s mouth tore my heart apart. He has repeated that phrase more than once, and my mind continually plays it over like a voice recording.
    I met him about three years ago. After knowing me for six months, he told me about his struggles with depression. Sadness was not the only emotion that came over me; I was shocked. He seemed so outgoing and happy all the time. I soon learned that he was physically and emotionally abused as a young child, causing him to have suicidal thoughts. 高考网WWw.gAoKw.coM

    He refuses to talk to others about his depression because he now distrusts adults, especially those in his family. Nevertheless, he feels as if I understand him and that I know the right words to speak. Therefore, when it comes to helping him, convenience is not in my vocabulary. It does not matter where I am or what I am doing, for he always comes first.
    Many students at his school laugh at him when they notice scars on his arms from cutting. As he sees it, other kids have every right to make fun of him. But no one holds such a right, so I encourage him to ignore the heartless kids who treat him badly. When he feels the weight of judging eyes or hateful voices, I always remind him that I care about him unconditionally. Just hearing me say I will always be his best friend seems to give him the security he needs to keep on going.
My best friend once told me that if he had not had me, he would not be alive. He said that my encouraging words convinced him not to take his life. Our friendship has taught me that a single kind word can influence someone’s life. With the fragility of life as it is, I believe in the necessity of encouragement. 高考网Www.gaoKw.CoM
