Here's 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 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 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.
According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our______.
A.self-respect
B.financial rewards
C.advertising ability
D.friendly relationship
High Blood Pressure
There is evidence that the usual variety of high blood pressure is,in part,a familial disease.Since families have similar genes as well as similar environment,familial diseases could be due to shared genetic influences,to shared environmental factors,or to both.For some years,the role of one environmental factor commonly shared by families,namely dietary salt,has been studied at Brook—haven National Laboratory.These studies suggest that chronic excess salt ingestion(摄取)can lead to high blood pressure in man and animals.Some individuals,however,and some rats consume large amounts of salt without developing high blood pressure.No matter how strictly all environmental factors were controlled in these experiments,some salt-fed animals never develop hypertension(高血压)whereas a few rapidly developed very severe hypertensions followed by early death.These marked variations were interpreted to result from differences in genetic constitution.
By mating in successive generations only those animals that failed to develop hypertension from salt ingestion,a resistant strain(the R strain)has been evolved in which consumPtion of large quantities of salt fails to influence the blood pressure significantly.In contrast,by mating only animals that quickly develop hypertension from salt,a sensitive strain(the S strain)has also been developed.
The availability of these two strains permits investigations not therefore possible.They provide a plausible laboratory model on which to investigate some clinical aspects of the human developing methods by which genetic susceptibility(敏感性)of human beings to high blood pressure can be defined without waiting for its appearance.
The main idea of this passage is__________. 查看材料
A.Genetic constitution,or hereditary factor is all important factor that may underlie hypertension
B.Excessive use of salt may cause high blood pressure
C.Shared environmental factors may lead to familial disease
D.There are two different kinds of strains in animals which cause their different reactions to excess salt ingestion

However its wealth is acquired, the upper class is very, very rich. They have enough money and leisure time to cultivate an interest in the arts and to collect rare books, painting, and sculpture. They generally live in exclusive areas, belong to exclusive social clubs, communicate with each other, and marry their own kind—all of which keeps them so distant from the masses that they have been called the out-of-sight class. More than any other class, they tend to be conscious of being members of a class. They also command an enormous amount of power and influence here and a broad, as they hold many top government positions, run the Council on Foreigh Relations, and control multinational corporations. The actions affect the lives of millions.
All the following statements are true EXCEPT that______.
A.the upper-upper class is of aristocratic origin
B.the "old rich" enjoy higher prestige than the "new rich"
C.the "old rich" isolate themselves and lead a lonely life
D.the upper class owns at least a quarter of the country's wealth
听力原文: Musical preferences are as diverse as the people who listen to it. Different types of music have different reputations. Heavy metal music is often labeled as "negative". Yet others find it a harmless form. of music. And, heavy metal music poses no threat to the well-being of its listeners.

Another form. of heavy metal music is speed metal. Speed metal has a inore upbeat sound than death metal and is not as depressing as death metal. It is fast paced and has a hard impact. The lead guitar follows a frenetic pace. This is in contrast to death metal which emphasizes rhythm guitar. The last type of heavy metal music is thrash metal. The name refers to both the thrashing sound of the music and the flailing movement of its listeners. The sound is very loud and has the same tone and style. of speed metal. These styles however, attract certain people.

Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D . Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
On the past few days, two nations with large numbers of AIDS-infected people have announced plans to distribute a triple cocktail of life-prolonging antiretroviral drugs free to all who need it. China has been treating 5,000 patients and plans to expand the program to cover everyone in the country. South Africa's cabinet approved a plan that includes drugs for all who need them.
China spent years denying it had an AIDS problem. Until recently, South Africa's top officials minimized the epidemic, questioned whether H. I. V. was the cause of AIDS and labeled antiretroviral drugs "poisons". Both countries have now taken a courageous and essential step.
But only one is likely to succeed. Indeed, China's program is already failing. One in five Chinese who have received antiretroviral drugs has already stopped taking them, which can lead to the creation of drug-resistant strains of the virus. China has only about 100 doctors nationwide with experience in treating AIDS. Health workers are simply handing patient's bottles of pills. Most patients receive no counseling on how to take them or deal with their side effects, and little follow-up monitoring. China is also still determined to crack down on high-risk groups such as prostitutes and drug users, which drives the epidemic underground. Even recently, provincial police were beating AIDS patients protesting for treatment. Treating AIDS requires a network of health care workers and a political climate that does not stigmatize and discriminate against those who come forward.
South Africa's government, by contrast, understands that handing out pills is only part of the solution. The program, which will cost about $ 680 million a year by 2007, will spend only a third of its budget on buying drugs. Much of the money will go instead to establishing clinics and training thousands of doctors, nurses, counselors and other workers to staff them. The government plans to have a well-run clinic in every district by the end of the year, and in every municipality by the end of 2008.
South Africa has an influential national network of campaigners for AIDS treatment whose pres- sure and advice were crucial to devising the plan, and who will be crucial to its success. It also had help from the foundation led by former President Bill Clinton, which negotiated better prices for AIDS medicine. China's government, by contrast, made its decisions in secret and has yet to permit such widespread citizen activism on AIDS. But China has one huge advantage over South Africa: while one in nine South Africans has the AIDS virus, China's epidemic is far smaller. Now that China has decided to treat AIDS, it has a chance to learn from other nations before the deluge.
The author write this passage mainly to______.
A.bring up some facts about AIDS preventing and curing in the world.
B.urge Chinese government to do something about AIDS.
C.compare two countries in the AIDS-related work.
D.say something about the development in the AIDS preventing method.
