17、categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.Here is 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 mean excitement.Later we might
18、 tell our family of 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
19、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 selfrespect.We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted,since we advertise our dis
20、honor 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 selfrespect is increased.Wh
21、enever 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 t
22、o 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.36The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal

25、sts at Harvard University and Bates College find female chimpanzees(黑猩猩)appear to treat sticks as dolls,carrying them around until they have children of their own.Young males engage in such behavior much less frequently.The new work by Sonya MKahlenberg and Richard WWrangham,described this week in t
26、he journal Current Biology,provides the first evidence of a wild nonhuman species playing with dolls,as well as the first known sex difference in a wild animals choice of playthings.The two researchers say their work adds to a growing body of evidence that human children are probably born with their
27、 own ideas of how they want to behave,rather than simply mirroring other girls who play with dolls and boys who play with trucks.Doll play among humans could have its origins in objectcarrying by earlier apes (猿类),they say,suggesting that toy selection is probably not due entirely to socialization.“
28、In humans,there are obvious sex differences in childrens toy play,and these are remarkably similar across cultures,” says Kahlenberg.“While socialization by elders and peers has been the primary explanation,our work suggests that biology may also have an important role to play in activity preference
29、s.”In 14 years of data on chimpanzee behavior at the Kibale National Park in Uganda,Kahlenberg and Wrangham counted more than 100 examples of stickcarrying.Some young chimpanzees carried sticks into the nest to sleep with them and on one occasion built a separate nest for the stick.“We have seen juv
30、eniles occasionally carrying sticks for many years,and because they sometimes treated them rather like dolls,we wanted to know if in general this behavior tended to represent something like playing with dolls,” says Wrangham,a Professor at Harvard“If the doll hypothesis(假设)was right,we thought that
31、females should carry sticks more than males do,and that the chimpanzees should stop carrying sticks when they had their first child.We have now watched enough young chimpanzees to prove both points.”40What does a female chimpanzee do with sticks?AShe gives them to her child to play with.BShe treats
32、them as weapons.CShe treats them as dolls.DShe makes useful tools from them.41What causes the different toy selection of chimpanzees,according to the passage?ASocialization.

35、lies from Central and South America during the 1990s and the early years of the new century,public schools struggled with the unfamiliar task of serving the large numbers of English learners arriving in their classrooms.Education programs needed to be built_from_scratch“We had no teaching resources
36、suitable for English learners here before.We had to develop them all ourselves,” a Texas principal said.Throughout the country,districts had to train their own teachers to teach English to nonnative speakers or recruit teachers from elsewhere.School staff members had to figure out how to communicate
37、 with parents who spoke no English.But even as immigration has slowed or stopped in many places,and instructional programs for Englishlearners have matured,serving immigrant families and their children remains a work in progress in many public schools,especially those in communities that are skeptic
38、al,or sometimes unwelcoming,to the newcomers.One of the biggest challenges educators face,is communicating effectively with parents who dont speak Englishan issue that,in part,has contributed to recent complaints of discrimination by Latino students in some cities.“The parents role is very important
39、 for the success of these students,but its also one of the most difficult things weve had to tackle,” said Jim DRollins,the president of the Springdale school district,where the 19,000student school system has gone from having no Englishlearners 15 years ago to more than 7,500 now.“You have to make
40、it a priority and work on it,work on it,and work on it.”Aside from the practical challenges,such as finding bilingual(会说两种语言的)staff members,guiding districts through such dramatic changes requires school leaders to bridge difficult political and cultural divides.For school leaders in the South,espec
41、ially in the last few years,this difficult job has been made harder still by the negative attitudes of some locals towards immigrants.44The underlined part “built from scratch” (in Paragraph 2) probably means“_”Acompletely newBpainful to makeCbased on past experienceDconstructed gradually45What is o
