The island is part of the Marshall Islands. It offered no basic living facilities(设备), so the Flakes had to catch and cook their own food and purify their water. Their diet was made up of coconuts, crab and fish. They caught the crab and fish themselves and cooked the food over an open fire started with a magnifying glass(放大镜).
The Flakes brought along a lobster(龙虾) trap in hopes of having some delicious treats, but lost it within the first few hours after it was attacked by a shark. They also carried two pumps to remove(除掉) salt from ocean water. It took them hours each night pumping for just a few gallons of fresh water.
One of the most memorable moments of the trip, the father said, was when he and his 15-year-old son were chased by sharks after spearing(叉) a fish in the ocean.

Robots are smart. With their computer brains, they help people work in dangerous places or do difficult jobs. Some robots do regular jobs. Bobby, the mail carrier, brings mail to a large office building in Washington, D.C. He is one of 250 mail carriers in the United States.
Mr. Leachim, who weighs two hundred pounds and is six feet tall, has some advantages as a teacher. One is that he does not forget details.

Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect
The collection of happiness, actions which are categorized as(把…归类为)“honor”, helps 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 (收费) us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of 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 person.
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 prove 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(与此相反), bringing the mistake 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 rewards of goodness.
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.
46. According to the passage, the positive action in the example leads to our _____.
A. self-respect B. financial rewards
C. advertising ability D. friendly relationship
47. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to ______.
A. lying B. cheating C. stealing D. advertising
48. The underlined phrase “bringing the mistake to the clerk’s attention” ___________.
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
49. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake
A. We’ll be very excited B. We’ll have a sense of honor
C. We’ll feel unfortunate D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk
50. 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

The collection of happiness, actions which are categorized as(把…归类为)“honor”, helps 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 (收费) us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of 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 person.
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 prove 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(与此相反), bringing the mistake 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 rewards of goodness.
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.
46. According to the passage, the positive action in the example leads to our _____.
A. self-respect B. financial rewards
C. advertising ability D. friendly relationship
47. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to ______.
A. lying B. cheating C. stealing D. advertising
48. The underlined phrase “bringing the mistake to the clerk’s attention” ___________.
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
49. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake
A. We’ll be very excited B. We’ll have a sense of honor
C. We’ll feel unfortunate D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk
50. 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

Give Yourself a Break
If you are thinking, “how to find myself when I am lost ”, then the first thing to do is to take a break. Give time to yourself to think over why you are lost. Try to find answers to these questions to determine (决定)the cause behind your restlessness(坐立不安).
Concentrate on Yourself
Instead of being the way others want you to be, be yourself. Look within and find yourself in you. Once you look within, you will know the answer and then try to be exactly that.
Reflect on the Past
Think back to the past when you were the happiest. It is another way to find confidence. This will help you to discover things you want to do in life and also certain people whom you like.

【答案与解析】
Dear Smith
I’m LiHua, a middle school student from Tianjin Heping Middle School. I learned from the Internet that you are organizing a summer camp in HongKong, which welcomes students from all over the world. I am interested in the camp and eager to participate. I have been learning English for 10 years, and I can communicate with people in fluent English. Meanwhile, I regard this camp as a golden opportunity for me to introduce my motherland to my overseas friends and get to know about their countries as well. I hope I will meet with your approval.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours
