    ［1］ Until that day when he was told that he was likely to get a bone cancer, Bruce Feiler had been living
    a happy life. He was a bestselling author of many books. He had a loving marriage and twin three-year-old
    girls. His doctor's sudden bad news left him shocked."Would my daughters wonder who I was if I died?
    Would they wonder what I thought?" Feiler recalls.?
    ［2］ One day, Feiler got a big idea: he would get a group of trusted men to serve as surrogate (代理)
    fathers after his death. His new book, The Council of Dads, recalls that moment:"I started making a list of
    men from all parts of my life. These are the men who know me best, men who traveled with me, studied
    with me, men who know my voice..." And each man should have one or two things in common with Feiler.?
    ［3］ Feiler made his first request to Shumlin, a farmer. The two became friends just after high school.
    Feiler chose him because he was an adventurer who always said "yes" to life.?
    ［4］ Other dads on Feiler's list include Ben, a teacher who would invite the kids to seek the truth of life
    and another man, named Henry, who believes in the power of friendship.?
    ［5］ David Black, the editor and close friend who helped Feiler become a well-known writer, also made
    the cut. "I work to help people's dreams come true," he recalls. "That's in part what Feiler asked of me, to
    be a member of the Council."?
    ［6］ However, the diagnosis (诊断) that led Feiler to has proved wrong. Today, Feiler is cancer-free. But
    he says his idea has caught on, and he believes that his book, The Council of Dads, and the website
    councilofdads. com is inspiring similar groups to form wherever dads seek strength in the fellowship of
    fathers.

    　　With the theme "Cherishing the earth's resources, transforming the mode of development and living a low-carbon lifestyle," China's Ministry of Land and Resources held a ceremony this Thursday to mark the 41st World Earth Day, aims to generate new ideas of resource-saving, especially among the younger generation．In fact, Chinese young urbanities are turning to the seemingly trendy low-carbon lifestyle．

    　　But for the country as a whole to achieve a low-carbon economy, it could mean ordinary people paying more for electricity, water, gas or simply every purchase．Of necessity, a low-carbon economy would be the basis of China's economic growth, yet it comes with a high price tag．Everybody longs for fresh air, clean water and healthy surroundings．But, who is going to pay for that?

    　　For those who are still working hard for the basic necessities of life, sharing the cost of a greener environment can be taxing．For those who are already victimized by environmental pollution, additional expenditure for saving the environment is hard to bear．Behind all the lofty goals and loaded phrases of climate change negotiations, in everyday terms, the Chinese want to know whether companies will make them pay the cost of saving energy or whether government would come up with new levies．

    　　They have reasons to worry．The recent hike in the charges of utilities, such as natural gas, water and electricity, have led to widespread public grievance(抱怨,牢骚), for the increases were imposed without proper public hearing．Besides the practice of monopoly State-owned enterprises raising prices at will does not seem to bode well for a low-carbon economy．

    　　The government has a responsibility to strengthen regulation of utility charges and make the pricing mechanism more transparent．In the age of the low-carbon economy, the Chinese government needs to strike a new balance between public welfare and business competitiveness．

    　　How far the initiatives toward a low-carbon economy succeed depends on whether they truly benefit ordinary people and is accepted by them．The majority cannot sacrifice their life to build a greener world for the few．

         Jeffrey Bezos, the founder, president and chairman of the board of Amazon.com, was born in Albuquerque,
    New Mexico. His mother's ancestors were early settlers in Texas, and over the generations had acquired a
    25,000 acre farm at Coutlla. Jeffrey spent most summers of his youth working with his grandfather on their
    farm.
         Jeffrey showed intense and varied scientific interests at an early age. He set up an electric alarm to keep his
    younger sisters and brothers out of his room and changed his parents' garage into a laboratory for his science
    projects.
         After he graduated from Princeton University with a degree in computer science and electrical engineering,
    Jeffrey Bezos found employment on Wall Street, where computer science was increasingly in demand to study
    market trends. He rose quickly, becoming a senior vice president, and looked forward to a bright career in
    finance, when he made a discovery that changed his life, and the course of business history.
         In 1994, there was still no Internet commerce to speak of. One day that spring, Jeffrey Bezos observed that
    Internet usage was increasing by 2,300 percent a year. He saw an opportunity for a new circle of commerce,
    and immediately began considering the possibilities.
         Bezos founded Amazon.com in 1994, setting up the original company in his garage. The company was
    called Amazon for the seemingly endless South American river with its numberless branches. It started as an
    online bookstore but soon diversified (多样化) to all kinds of products. His work with Amazon eventually led
    him to become one of the most excellent dot-com entrepreneurs (企业家). He was named Time magazine's
    Person of the Year in 1999. In 2008, he was selected by U.S. News & World Report as one of America's Best
    Leaders. Bezos' Amazon has become "the Earth's biggest anything store". Amazon.com is now called" one of
    the smartest strategies in business history".
         Today, Jeffrey Bezos lives north of Seattle and is increasingly concerned with charity (慈善) activities.
    "Giving away money takes as much attention as building a successful company," he has said.
    1. In his childhood, Bezos ____.
    A. had to work with parents on their farm all day long
    B. showed great interest in science

    Do 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.

    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 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 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 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. self-respect    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 phrase “bringing the error to the clerk’s attention”(in Para. 5) 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.How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?

    A. We’ll be very excited.                B. We’ll feel unfortunate.

    C. We’ll have a sense of honor.           D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.

    5.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 Actions
