One summer afternoon, a group of recent college graduates decided to visit their favorite professor at his home. The grads【小题1】(be) out of school for about a year and they were each making their attempt into the so-called “real world” and dealing with all of the frustrations and【小题2】(confuse) that come with it.
Over the course of the afternoon, the grads complained【小题3】 their professor about how difficult life was after school. They complained about the long hours, the【小题4】(demand) bosses, the competitive job market, and【小题5】all of them seemed to talk about or care about was money, money, money.
After a while, the professor got up and made some coffee. He got out six cups, one for each student. Three of them were cheap disposable cups and the other three【小题6】(make) of his nicest porcelain. He then invited everyone to get up and help【小题7】(they).
Within seconds the【小题8】(argue) had already begun. “Wait, why do you get that cup?” “No. let me have it. I drove here “No way, I got here first, go get your own.” The students laughed and【小题9】(gentle) chided each other over who got to drink what out of what. A silent competition among friends.
When the kids finally sat back down the professor smiled and said, “You see? This is your problem. You are all arguing over who gets【小题10】(drink) out of the nice cups when all you really wanted was the coffee.”
