In the book 150cm Life and Living Alone by Myself for the Ninth Year, Japanese illustrator(插画
家) Naoko Takagi 1 every moment of living by herself with drawings.
Like many solo dwellers (独居者), she has to learn to cook, protect 2 , and get through
the long nights after watching a horror movie. And yet she manages to stay positive and enjoy
her life to the fullest.
Living alone is becoming very 3 in Japan. According to The Guardian, about 30 percent of
Japanese people live by themselves, and the rate is much 4 in urban areas. “To Japanese
young people, still living with parents after going to college is awkward and seen as a
5 of weakness,” said Liu Guanglei, a Chinese who has lived in Japan for many years.
Japanese companies have 6 this trend. Muji, for example, introduced a set of kitchenware-a
smaller oven, rice cooker, kettle and juice extractor (榨汁机)- 7 for solo dwellers.
“Many restaurants have turned their tables into the form of counters (柜台) so that solo eaters
don’t have to 8 a table with strangers.” said Liu.
The rising social status of Japanese women 9 be the main reason for the trend. Fewer women
are willing to stay home and look after the family. They’re happy by themselves.

观的) view toward work and marriage.

A group of university graduates visited their old professor (教授). During their visit, the
conversation turned to work. The graduates were complaining about their problems and stress in
work and in life. After offering coffee to his guests, the professor went to the kitchen and came
back with a coffee pot and a tray (托盘), crowded with many different cups: porcelain (陶瓷),
glass, plastic and crystal (水晶).
Some cups were simple, other ones expensive. The professor asked them to pick out their cupsfirst. When the graduates picked out their favorite cups, the professor explained: “Notice how all
the beautiful cups were picked out and the simple and cheap ones were left.”
Wanting only the best things for yourself is the source of your problems and stress. You need to
understand that the cup doesn’t make the coffee better. Actually, all that you wanted was the
coffee, not the cup. But you consciously (有意识地) chose the best cups, and then looked to see
what cups others picked.
“Life is the coffee. Your job, money, position in society ... they are the cups. The type of cup
doesn't determine the quality of life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cups, we forget to
enjoy the taste of coffee. The happiest people are not those who have the best things, but those
who enjoy life and make the most of what they have.”
Hearing this, the graduates were speechless. They had learned another important life lesson from
their old professor-that true happiness means enjoying life and not worrying about unimportant
things.

A. give his students more choices to chose from

A. chose the plastic and glass cups
B. did not choose heavy cups
