to eat tomatoespeople have strange ideas about food. for example, the tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable. it is one of useful plants that can be prepared in many ways. it has rich nutrition and vitamin in it. but in the 18th century, americans never ate tomatoes. they grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty. but they thought the vegetable was poisonous (有毒的). they called tomatoes “poison apples.”president thomas jefferson, however, knew that tomatoes were good to eat. he was a learned man. he had been to paris, where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes. he grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden. the president taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup. this beautiful pink soup was served at the presidents party. the guests thought the soup

honored guests poison apples. 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 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 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 thoughts that 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.41. according to the passage, the positive action in the
