I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas. I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friends. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card. I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful. Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that Id left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池)was dead. Then I noticed that a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen. I explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said. Thank you - two powerful words. Theyre easy to say and mean so much.41.

I can remember all the pain youve caused for me.Do you remember the night you almost took my fathers life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. You just sat back and laughed as his car crashed into two other cars. He wasnt the only one hurt by you that night. Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. This wont happen again, they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.Do you remember the night when my neighbor drank you and drove to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister never saw him again. And its all your fault. I wish youd walk out of my life forever. I dont want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain youve caused. Sure, youve made people happy too from time to time.

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. 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, our self-respect is increased.There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. 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.51. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our_. A. self-respect B. financial rewards C. advertising ability D. friendly relationship52.

A. telling the truth to the clerkB. offering advice to the clerk C. asking the clerk to be more attentiveD. reminding the clerk of the charged item54. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake? A. Well be very excited.B. Well feel unfortunate. C. Well have a sense of honor.D. Well feel sorry for the clerk.55.

Happiness through Honorable Actions第三部分：写作第一节 单词拼写（每小题1分，满分10分）根据各句句意写出对应单词的正确、完整形式，每空只写一词。56. The vote was completed. The chairman _ (宣布) the result. 57.
