Question: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: These classmates all had good jobs and made lots of money. They talked happily. Then their talk soon turned to complaining about the stress in work and life. The teacher went to the kitchen and came back with a large pot of coffee and many cups--china ones, plastic ones and glass ones. Some are plain 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 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 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." Question: In their teacher's eyes, why did they have so much stress? Options: A: Because they cared too much about things that were not important. B: Because they understood the meaning of life. C: Because they knew about life itself and enjoyed it. D: Because they drank too much coffee.

Some boardinghouse keepers give all meals to their guests, others provide breakfast only. The British may refuse to change the times at which they take their holidays, but they have shown themselves very ready to go to new places.
