a. he did a lot of outdoor activities.b. he was pushed hard to study every day.c. he worked very hard both in and after classd. he attended private classes after school.59. why is adrians life described as an “amazing race”?a. he did very well in his study b. he succeeded in entering a regular schoolc. he reached his goals in spite of his disabilityd. he took part in the world yacht race 05/06 bdo 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. heres 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 clerks mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. later we might tell our family or 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 dont 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 lie 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 clerks 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 its easy to think and act honorably again when were happy. while the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once its started, its easy to continue. keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.60. according to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our_. a. friendly relationship b. financial rewards c. advertising ability d. self-respect61. the author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to_. a. lyingb. cheating c. stealing d. advertising62. the phrase bringing the error to the clerks attention (in para. 5) means_. a. asking the clerk to be more attentive b. offering advice to the clerk c. telling the truth to the clerk d. reminding the clerk of the charged item63. 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 actionscapopularsayinggoes,“sticksandstonemaybreakmybones,butwordswillneverhurtme.”however,thatsnotreallytrue.wordshavethepowertobuildusuportearusdown.itdoesntmatterifthewordscomefromsomeoneelseorourselves-thepositiveandnegativeeffectsarejustaslasting.wealltalktoourselvessometimes.wereusuallytooembarrassedtoadmitit,though.butwereallyshouldntbe,becausemoreandmoreexpertsbelievetalkingtoourselvesoutloudisahealthyhabit.thisself-talkhelpsusmotivateourselves,rememberthings,solveproblems,andcalmourselvesdown.beware,though,thatasmuchas77%ofself-talktendstobenegative.soinordertostaypositive,weshouldonlyspeakwordsofencouragementtoourselves.weshouldalsobequicktogiveourselvesapatontheback.thenexttimeyoufinishaproject,dowellinatest,orfinallycleanyourroom,joinmeinsaying,“goodjob!”often,wordscomeoutofourmouthswithoutourthinkingabouttheeffectstheywillhave;butweshouldbeawarethatourwordscausecertainresponsestoothers.forexample,whenreturninganitemtoastore,wemightusewarmfriendlylanguageduringtheexchange.andtheclerkwillprobablyrespondinasimilarmanner.orwecanuseharsh,criticallanguage,whichwillmostlikelycausetheclerktobedefensive.wordspossesspowerbecauseoftheirlastingeffects.manyofusregretsomethingweoncesaid.andwerememberunkindwordssaidtous!beforespeaking,weshouldalwaysaskourselves:isittrue?isitloving?isitneeded?ifwhatwewanttosaydoesntpassthistest,thenitsbetterleftunsaid.wordspossesspowerbothpositiveandnegative.thosearoundusreceiveencouragementwhenwespeakpositively.wecanofferhope,buildself-esteem （自尊）andmotivateotherstodotheirbest.negativewordsdestroyallthosethings.willweuseourwordstohurtortoheal？thechoiceisours.64.theauthorarguesinthefirstparagraphthat.a.wordshavelastingeffectsonusb.wordswillneverhurtusatallc.positiveeffectslastlongerthannegativeeffectsd.negativewordsmayletusdown65.whyshouldwenotfeelembarrassedwhentalkingtoourselves？a.almosteverybodyhasthehabitoftalkingtooneself.b.talkingtoourselvesisbelievedtobegoodforourhealth.c.talkingtoourselveshelpsustosolvealltheproblems.d.itdoesharmtohaveself-talkwhenwearealone.66.whichofthefollowingstatementswouldtheauthoragreeto?a.unkindwordsaremorelikelytobeforgotten.b.itisbettertothinktwicebeforetalkingtoothers.c.wordsalwayspossesslongpositiveeffects.d.kindwordsaresometimesnotneededatall.67.whyshouldwetalkinafriendlywaywhenreturninganitemtoastore?a.becausekindwordsbuildupcomplexrelationships.b.becausetheclerkinastoreishardtodealwith.c.becausefriendlywordscausepositiveresponses.d.becausecriticallanguagemayhurtyourfeelings.d the african elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to african ecosystem(生态系统). unlike other animals, the african elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. as a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat(栖息地).it is the elephants great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. in its continuous search for the300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and under-bushes, and pulls branches off big trees. this results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the african savannas. in these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.take the rain forests for example. in their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. by pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. in such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.what worries scientists now is that the african elephant has become an endangered species. if the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.68. what is the passage mainly about?a. disappearance of african elephantsb. forests and savannas as habitats for african elephants.c. the effect of african elephants search for food.d. the eating habit of a
