18．（10分）A group of university graduates visited their old professor.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 cups first.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."

20．（10分）Many of you have probably had this experience：You get on a train and are ready to take a nap or read a book，only to find that the passenger in front of you is watching a TV show on his tablet without headphones.The child next to you won't stop crying.And the old lady behind you talks on her phone during the whole trip.
Wish the train could be less noisy？There might be a solution for you.The Beijing﹣Shanghai high﹣speed railway，one of China's busiest high﹣speed rail lines，have had "quiet" carriages starting since Dec 23，2020.
In quiet carriages，on board videos are muted （静音） and announcements are made at a lower volume （音量）.Doors at the ends of the carriage are kept closed to reduce noise from other carriages.Train attendants （乘务员） are responsible for making sure that passengers remain quiet and follow the rules.
Passengers who are willing to obey the rules can choose the quiet carriages when booking their tickets，according to China's national railway operator.
Some people have pointed out that this kind of quiet environment should be offered in all carriages.They say that having quiet carriages might give people the impression that they don't need to be quiet in non﹣quiet carriages.
Quiet carriages might be more enjoyable.While some internet users are in favor of the new service，it has also sparked discussion about just how quiet travelers should be in quiet carriages.Many people have raised questions such as "What if I snore （打呼噜）？" and "Can we talk to our travel companions if we need to？"

（1）Paragraph 1 is written to show that 　 　.
A.people watch TV shows on trains
