• 2．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 excitement.Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune.On the other hand，if we tell the clerk about he 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 action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
  
  （1）According to the passage，the positive action in the example contributes to our

  .
  A．friendly relationship
  B．financial rewards
  C．advertising ability
  D．self-respect

  .

  B．We'll feel unfortunate
  C．We'll feel sorry for the clerk
  D．We'll have a sense of honor

• 3．One of the main challenges facing many countries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend．"One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that，with a few important exceptions，mother-tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states."said Neville Alexander，Director of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa at the University of Cape Town．
     In response to the spread of English and the increased multi-language trends arising from immigration，many countries have introduced language laws in the last decade．In some，the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising posters．One of the first such legal provisions（规定） was the 1994"Toubon law" in France，and the idea has been copied in many countries since then．Such efforts to govern language use are often considered as futile by language experts，who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process．
     It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the "purity" of a language by law．Since the time of Shakespeare，English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language．English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world，but that has not been a barrier to acquiring superiority and power．Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of the state regulation is that it has never been the Anglo-Saxon way of doing things.
     The need to protect national languages is，for most western Europeans，a recent phenomenon，especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields．Public communication，education and new ways of communication promoted by technology may be key fields to defend．
  
  （1）Neville Alexander believes that

  ．
  A．lack of mother-tongue education can lead to economic failure
  B．globalization has resulted in the economic failure of Africa
  C．globalization has led to the rise of multi-language trend
  D．mother-tongue education is not practiced in all African countries
  （2）The underlined word "futile"（in paragraph 2）most probably means"

  "．
  A．workable
  B．useless
  C．practical
  D．unimportant
  （3）What can we infer from the last paragraph？

  
  A．English has taken over fields like public communication and education．
  B．Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language．
  C．Many aspects of national culture are threatened by the spread of English．
  D．Europeans have long realized the need to protect a national language．
  （4）The best title for the passage is

  ．
  A．Fighting against the rule of English
  B．To maintain the purity of language by law
  C．Globalization and multi-language trend
  D．Protecting local languages and identities
