Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.
Here’s an example to show how honorably actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. One the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it’s started, it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
【小題1】According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our__________.

A．self-respectB．financial rewards
C．a(chǎn)dvertising abilityD．friendly relationship
【小題2】The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to __________.
A．lyingB．stealingC．cheatingD．a(chǎn)dvertising

A．telling the truth to the clerk
B．offering advice to the clerk
C．a(chǎn)sking the clerk to be more attentive
D．reminding the clerk of the charged item
【小題4】How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?
A．We’ll be very excited
B．We’ll feel unfortunate
C．We’ll have a sense of honor
D．We’ll feel sorry for the clerk
【小題5】Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A．How to Live Truthfully
B．Importance of Peacefulness
C．Ways of Gaining Self-respect
D．Happiness through Honorable Actions

Why does most of the world travel on the right side today? Theories differ, but there’s no doubt that Napoleon was a major influence. The French had used the right since at least the late 18th century. Some say that before the French Revolution, noblemen drove their carriages on the left, forcing the peasants to the right. Regardless of the origin, Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany. Hitler, in turn, ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped right-hand control, like Great Britain, followed their left-hand tradition.
The U.S. has not always been a nation of right-hand rivers; earlier in its history, carriage and horse traffic traveled on the left, as it did in England. But by the late 1700s, people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift to the right. A driver would sit on the rear (后面的) left horse in order to wave his whip with his right hand; to see opposite traffic clearly, they traveled on the right.
One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U.S. occurred in the 20th century, when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left (one reason, stated in 1908; the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge, especially… if there is a lady to be considered). Once these rules were set, many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard, including Canada in the 1920s, Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970. The U.K. and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the western world’s few remaining holdouts. Several Asian countries, including Japan, use the left as well — thought many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.
【小題1】Why did people in Switzerland travel on the right?

A．They had used the right-hand since the 18th century.
B．Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right.
C．Napoleon introduced the right-hand traffic to this country.
D．Hitler ordered them to go to against their left-hand tradition.
【小題2】Of all the countries below, the one that travels on the right is ______.
A．AustriaB．EnglandC．JapanD．Australia
【小題3】Henry Ford produced cars with controls on the left _______.
A．in order to change traffic directions in the U.S.
B．so that passengers could get off conveniently
C．because rules at that time weren’t perfect
D．though many countries were strongly against that
【小題4】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A．Before the French Revolution, all the French people used the right.
B．People in Britain and the U.S. travel on the same side nowadays.
C．The Burmese began to travel on the right in 1970.
D．All the Asian nations use the left at present.
【小題5】What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Who made the great contributions to the shift of traffic directions?
B．How cars have become a popular means of transportation?
C．How Henry Ford produced his cars with controls on the left?
D．Why don’t people all drive on the same side of the road?

科目：高中英語 來源：2015屆安徽省阜陽市高二上學(xué)期期中考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

One reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation（毀林） is a blank stare that asks the question, "Since I don't live there, what does it have to do with me?"

The answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics in many ways. If you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests.

Biologically, we are losing the richest regions on earth when, each minute, a piece of tropical forest, the size of ten city blocks, disappears. As many as five million species of plants, animals, and insects (40 to 50 percent of all living things) live there, and are being lost faster than they can be found and described. Their loss is immeasurable.

Take rubber for example. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. Synthetics are not good enough. Today over half the world's commercial rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the Amazon's rubber industry produces much of the world's four million tons. And rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear and many sporting goods. Thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use.

Many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect -- or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen.

Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees. The result? A partial melt-down of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. Unbelievable? Maybe. But scientists warn that by the time we realise the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 years too late.

Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? Now, you should have got the answer.

1.The underlined word "synthetics" probably means_________.

 A. natural rubber                   B. tropical materials

 C. man-made material               D. commercial rubber

2.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

 A. The forests are losing their function in turning carbon dioxide into oxygen.

 B. Many of our daily uses are related to the tropical forests.

 C. Tropical plants can be used to make industrial products.

 D. High carbon dioxide levels will make the earth warmer.

3.The author's attitude towards the tropical deforestation is _________ .

 A. puzzling        B. cold          C. supporting        D. opposed

4.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

 A. Tropical Forests                 B. The Value of Tropical Forests

 C. Tropical Forests and Our Life     D. The Greenhouse Effects
