4．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 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 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 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．
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．

5．A hundred years ago on Monday，a once-mighty species became extinct．At the Cincinnati Zoo，a passenger pigeon named Martha died at the age of 29．
It was a quiet end to a noisy species．As recently as the mid-1800s，billions of passenger pigeons swarmed across the eastern half of the United States．But they proved no match for humans，whose rapidly advancing technology drove the birds to extinction in a matter of decades．Other species were also spiraling toward extinction in the late 1800s，but the destruction of the passenger pigeon happened on full public display．"It became the icon （标志） of extinction．"
A hundred years later，the passenger pigeon remains iconic．In 2012，a group of scientists launched a project now named the Great Passenger Pigeon Comeback to create cloned passenger pigeons-or at least birds genetically engineered to have passenger pigeon features．Two years later，project scientists are still hard at work．But they can't say when-or even if-the bird will fly again．
Nor has anyone ever cloned a bird，so every step in the plan will take the project scientists into unknown scientific territory to give rise to a passenger pigeon．Extracting an undamaged passenger pigeon gene from museum specimens （样本） seems impossible．Novak and his colleagues are hoping to reconstruct the gene of the band-tailed pigeons，the closest living relatives of passenger pigeons，which live in the western United States．
Even if the scientists end up with some passenger pigeon chicks in a few years，they will still be a long way from successfully reestablishing the species．However，people today can learn many lessons in its disappearance and apply it to protecting threatened species today
