After leaving school for many years， a group of graduates （毕业生） 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 （容纳） 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】本文讲述了一位老师通过咖啡和杯子的关系，来告诉学生们一个道理，生活就像咖啡，工作，金钱和社会地位就像杯子，我们所拥有的外在因素并不能改变我们的生活质量，最开心的人并不是拥有最好的东西，他们只是把每件事做到最好．
【解答】（1）D．细节理解题．根据All of them complained about problems and stress in their work and life，可知，这些毕业生因为生活和工作中遇到的问题和压力，所以他们感到不是很满意，故选D．
（2）B．细节理解题．根据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，老师从厨房拿出一大杯咖啡和各种各样的杯子，故选B．
（3）C．推理判断题．根据the teacher said， "If you noticed， all the nice﹣looking and expensive cups had been taken…it is just a tool to contain （容纳） what we drink．"可知，所有好看的，昂贵的杯子都被拿走了，只剩下简单的，便宜的杯子，但是事实上杯子本身并不能影响咖啡的质量，它只是一个工具．老师想通过各种各样的杯子让学生明白生活的一个道理：每个人都想要最好的东西，但是往往这些外界的因素并不能影响生活的质量．故选C．
（4）D．细节理解题．根据In fact， the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee． it is just a tool to contain （容纳） what we drink，可知，事实上，杯子本身并不能提高咖啡的质量，它只是一个用来装我们喝的东西的工具，故选D．
（5）C．推理判断题．根据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，没人选择简单，便宜的杯子，所以A选项正确．根据Although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves，可知，每个人都想要最好的东西是很正常的，所以B选项正确．根据Sometimes， if we only pay attention to the cup， we will fail to enjoy the coffee，可知，如果我们只关注杯子，我们就不能享受咖啡了，所以我们不应该更加关注杯子，所以C选项错误．根据The happiest people don't have the best of everything． They just make the best of everything，可知，最开心的人不是拥有最好的东西，他们只是把每件事做到最好，所以我们要尽力做好生活中的每件事，所以D选项正确．故选C．
