二、阅读理解
    Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her life was unhappy and that she was tired of struggling all the time.
    Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes, eggs and coffee beans in them. After 20 minutes, he took them out, putting the potatoes and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup.
    Turning to his daughter, he said, "Look closer, and touch the potatoes." She did and note
d that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After stripping off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. Its good smell brought a smile to her face.
    "Father, what does this mean?" she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity—the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.
    The strong and hard potatoes became soft and weak in the boiling water. The eggs were fragile, with thin outer shell protecting their liquid until they were put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the eggs became hard. However, the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. "Which one do you want to be like?" he asked. "When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond?"
    In life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.
