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 actions 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. 12. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our __________.

A. advertising ability B. financial rewards C. self-respect D. friendly relationship

13.The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to __________. A. lying B. stealing

C. cheating D. advertising

14.How will we feel if we let the clerk know the 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. 15.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A. How to Live Truthfully B. Importance of Peacefulness

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There is no better feeling than walking away from your desk in the evening with a sense of deep satisfaction for a job well done. 16 Here are some ways to help you do just that:

·Empty your inbox (收件箱).

__17__ You will find that an empty inbox late in the day will give you a strong sense of accomplishment and order in your life. If you want an empty inbox, it means everything is in a particular spot：either in the trash, or sent to someone else.

· 18

If you leave a tiring and undesirable task until the next day, you will walk away from your desk with a dark cloud hanging over you and a sense of fear. On the other hand, try to complete the task before you leave the office, and you will walk away with a feeling of freedom and victory.

·Do something nice for someone else.

The key here is intentionality. Plan to end your day by doing something specific and beneficial for someone in your life — a partner，friend, family member, customer, etc.__19__ It is impossible to do something nice for someone without feeling better yourself.

·Say thank you.

Take a moment before you shut things down for the day to be thankful for your life. 20 When you feel grateful to people around you, you will get a new idea on the difficulties of any given day.

A. Determine what will make tomorrow special.

B. Finish the task as far as possible before you leave. C. Keeping your inbox empty makes you more effective. D. You will feel better when doing a good deed to others. E. Nothing else throughout your day could possibly be so bad.

F. In fact a whole unproductive day can end with just 15 hyper-productive (高效的) minutes.

G. Regardless of what else has happened in a day，ending it with thanks is a rewarding approach．

Larry Swilling and his wife Jimmie Sue have been happily 22 for 56 years. So happily, in fact, that Larry has now come to realize he can’t 23 without his wife. “She’s my heart,” he said.

Jimmie Sue is trying to get on a donor list, but the 27 is about two or three years long and that’s for a kidney from a dead donor. Transplant patients who get their kidneys from living donors tend to live 28 . That is why Larry decided to try to ask for it, from total strangers.

“I don’t 29 what people think,” Larry said.

He didn’t really think it would work. 33 he said, “I had to do something.” He didn’t feel 34 when the phone rang. “I’m willing to donate a kidney for your 35 ,” one caller said. “I’d like nothing more than to help you out,” said another.

Believe it or not, over the last few days the 36 hasn’t stopped ringing. Hundreds of people who either saw his sign or heard about it have 37 . One volunteer said, “I’ve got two, but I 38 need one.” Larry hasn’t found a match for his wife, but at least he has already had enough volunteers and 39 enough awareness to save someone. “If I get a kidney, it’s fine. If I don’t, I hope someone else does,” the wife said. And that’s why Larry is still out there, appealing to the 40 of strangers for the love of his wife. 21.A. already 22.A. married
