文章大意:这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位教授用罐子,鹅卵石,沙子等给学生们上了形象生动一堂哲学课,告诉学生一个人生哲理:注意对自己幸福至关重要的东西,设定好人生的优先级。
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he _______ a large, empty jar and filled it with golf balls.
He asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor picked up a box of pebbles and poured it into the jar. He _______the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas _______ the golf balls.
He asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor _______ picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students _______ with unanimous(一致的)yes.
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured them into the jar, filling the _______space between the sand. The students laughed.
“Now,” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar _______ your life. The golf balls are the _______ things: family, children, health, friends and favourite passions. Things, that if everything else was _______ and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the things that ________, like your job, house, and car. The sand is everything else--- the small stuff.”
“If you put the sand into the jar ________, there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same ________ for life. If you spend all of your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. So pay attention to the things that are vital to your happiness. Take care of the golf balls first. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”
One student raised her hand and asked what the ________ represented.
The professor smiled and said, “I’m glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how ________ your life may seem, there’s always ________ for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.
