　　(2017·皖北协作区第一次联考)Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self­respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.

　　Here is an example to show how honorable 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 mean excitement. Later we might tell our family of friends about our good fortune. On 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 self­respect. 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 self­respect 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.

　　1．According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our ________.

　　A．self­respect

　　B．financial rewards

　　C．advertising ability

　　D．friendly relationship

　　2．The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to ________.

　　A．lying

　　B．stealing

　　C．cheating

　　D．advertising

　　3．The underlined phrase “bringing the error to the clerk's attention” means ________.

　　A．telling the truth to the clerk

　　B．offering advice to the clerk

　　C．asking the clerk to be more attentive

　　D．reminding the clerk of the charged item

　　4．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 Self­respect

　　D．Happiness through Honorable Actions

　　B

　　Stop­over in Stratford­upon­Avon

　　The easy way to book your theatre seats, dinner and overnight stay

　　Go to the theatre and enjoy Stratford­upon­Avon's shops, river and restaurants. See Shakespeare's birthplace, and the beautiful Cotswolds countryside with its charming villages.

　　For as little as ￡90 per person in a luxury hotel, we include：

　　A theatre seat in the stalls (包厢) or circles for any Monday to Saturday evening performance.

　　★A three­course dinner in the Box Tree Restaurant, before (5：45 p．m. )or after(about 10：30 p．m. ) the performance.

　　★One night's accommodation for two people sharing twin/double room. We divide our hotels into four groups：Luxury, A, B or C. Luxury is the most expensive and Group C rooms are without bath.

　　If you haven't time or live too close to Stratford to stay the night — why not try our Deals on Meals package which includes a three­course dinner (or lunch if you go to an afternoon performance) in the Box Tree Restaurant. Lunch before the afternoon performance is at 12：00 noon.

　　Group discounts apply (15 or more)for Monday to Friday evenings and Thursday and Saturday afternoons until June 18th.

　　Trains

　　There is an intercity (城市间的) train from London Euston to Coventry. Trains leave London at 9：10 a．m., 10：40 a．m., 16：55 p．m., 2：40 p．m. Then take a bus to Stratford. Also, there is a new direct train service from London to Stratford. Train leaves London at 9：18 a．m. and arrives Stratford at 11：30 a．m. Returns are available: leaves Stratford at 15：55 p．m. and arrives London at 18：15 p．m.

　　You can have an extra night's stay at the hotel of your choice to complete your break. Please note on your booking form if you would like to stay an extra night and include the cost (prices shown are per person sharing a double room) in your total payment. Theatre tickets can also be added for those wanting to go to another performance on the extra night.

　　Booking is easy：

　　★Choose the show and date you wish to come.
