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.

36. 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 37. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to ________. A. lying B. stealing C. cheating D. advertising

38. 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 39. 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. 40. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
