The sense of honor appears to be dying.
In World War II men died more or less willingly for the nation and the nation's honor, and they were honored for it in return. Now we have become cynical about such things, the nation lies, fights unjustifiable wars; the nation suffer a breach in the honor code.
At my college the students used to agree to inform. on their friends rather than suffer a breach in the honor code.A sense of honor is a sense that there 'me standards of behavior. one must live up to, even at the cost of one's per send happiness, even at the Cost of one's life. Without such a sense one has to make up one's rights and wrongs as one goes along——usually, as it happens, to one's own advantage. Morality thereby becomes a matter of expediency: nothing seems worth dying for, and life loses its beauty and some of its value.
Our recent history has deprived us of models. I cherish the story of John Stubbs, a Puritan divine of Queen Elizabeth's time who strongly opposed her projected marriage to the Duke of Alencon. Stubbs knew the penalty for doing so, which was the loss of a hand; nevertheless, he published, and led out for public execution of the sentence. Stubbs laid his right hand on the block, the ax fell, and he rose to his feet, lifted the bloody stump high in the air, and cried out to the crowd, "Long live the Queen!"
In spite of the blood and the horror, it is the beauty of such an act that stands out. A man lives UP to his beliefs; he acts with courage and great style. and literally gives of himself in the service of something he feels is greater than himself. We cannot help but honor him, whether we agree with his beliefs or not.
We can make the inference from the passage that ______.
A.earlier in this century, giving one's life for one's country was not considered an honorable thing to do
B.in the author's college days, students valued honor more than loyalty to one another
C.the author admires John Stubbs for his courage in objecting to the Queen's marriage
D.the author himself is a person with the highest sense of honor

Smuggling
It is not unusual for a pet to be sent by air cargo from Columbia to New York, but last December's shipment of a 4-year-old sheep dog caught a New York Kennedy Airport Customs inspector's eye. The dog looked to be on its last legs, and there was an unusual lump on the side of its body. An X-ray and emergency surgery revealed the presence of 10 condoms tightly packed with five pounds of cocaine that had been surgically implanted in the dog's abdomen - yet another first for Customs in the war on drugs.
When it comes to transporting drags, the methods used are only as limited as a smuggler's imagination. Kilo bricks of cocaine are routinely concealed beneath false bottoms of containers that hold poisonous snakes. "You've got snakes that are 12 feet long," says a United States Fish and Wildlife Service agent - and sometimes the drag is in the snake. "Who's going to pull it out and feel it?"
In 1994, United States Customs seized 204,391 pounds of cocaine, 559,286 pounds of marijuana and 2,577 pounds of heroin. Just how much actually flows into the country is anyone's guess. Some Customs officials estimate that only 10 percent of the drugs coming into the country are ever seized. In Miami, the District Attorney won't even prosecute small fry. "It's got to be over five kilos of cocaine, above a kilo of heroin and more than 5,000 pounds of marijuana or it's not something that we're going to stop the presses on," says Tom Cash, a retired agent.
Given this deluge, one can only wonder if agents are ever confounded by some of the smuggling methods. "There are things we haven't seen before," says John McGhee, a Miami Customs special agent, "but nothing really surprises us."
