If you go to Finland, you will likely be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly highclass Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals.The most they would do to show their good faith (信任) is to wave their registration (登记) card to the waiter.With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour.They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate.From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.
With so many loopholes (漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms.And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”．
In a society of such high moral (道德的) practice, what need is there for people to be on guard (警惕) against others?
1．While taking a taxi in Finland, a passenger ________.
A. can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go
B. only pays two US dollars for a taxi ride
C. can go anywhere without having to pay the driver
D. needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying
答案与解析 A 从第一段的句子“You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.”可知，在芬兰乘出租车的时候，乘客可以在还未付钱的状况下(临时)去任何地方，司机都不会担忧。选择A项。
2．We can know from the passage that in Finland ________.
A. both hotel guests and outside diners are served food free of charge
B. big hotels are mostly poorly managed
C. guests can enjoy free food once they stayed in the hotel
D. big hotels provide meals for all kinds of diners
答案与解析 D 依据文章其次段的句子“The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners.”可知，在芬兰大旅店供应全部外面人的餐饮。选择D项。
3．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Generally speaking, in Finland, workers can get more pay by working long hours.
B. The bosses are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.
C. The workers are always honest with their working hours.
D. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.
答案与解析 B 依据文章第三段“They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.”可知，不是老板太忙没时间检查工人的工作时间，而是他们定好了协议。选择B项。
4．It can be concluded that ________.
A. Finnish people are really foolish in daily life
B. Finland has been a good place for cheats
C. all the Finns are rich and therefore honest
D. the Finnish society is of very high moral level
答案与解析 D 从最终一段的句子“In a society of such high moral(道德的) practice, what need is there for people to be on guard(警惕)against others？”可知，D项正确，芬兰社会的道德标准格外高。
B
These days most people in Britain and the USA do not wear very formal clothes. But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing.
Many British people don't think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts you can put on whatever you like — from elegant (端庄的) suit and dresses to jeans (牛仔裤) and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy.
But in Britain, as well as the USA, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses.
In many ways, Americans are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sports clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles.
It is difficult to say exactly what people wear in Britain and the USA, because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same. You'll feel more relaxed if you don't look too different from anyone else.
5．The passage mainly tells us ________.
A. what people wear in Britain and the USA
B. we should wear different clothes in different occasions
C. do the same as other people in other countries do
D. most people wear very formal clothes in Britain

6．Many people in Britain wear freely when they ________.
A. attend meetings B. attend lectures
C. spend their spare time D. meet their friends
答案与解析 C 依据其次段第三句“When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything.”可知英国人自娱自乐时，穿着很任凭。故C项正确。
7．Who don't usually wear suits or ties?
A. Lawyers. B. Drivers.
C. Doctors. D. Secretaries.
答案与解析 B 依据第三段其次句“Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes.”可知司机不包括在内。故B项正确。
8．If you visit an American friend in the evening you may find that your friend wears ________.
A. dirty clothes B. fine clothes
C. formal clothes D. informal clothes
答案与解析 D 依据第四段其次句“At home or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sports clothes.”可知晚上在家，美国人穿非正式的服装。故D项正确。
9．If you are in a foreign country, the best way the writer suggests us is to wear ________.
A. strange clothes
B. your native clothes
C. the same clothes as the people there wear
D. pretty clothes
答案与解析 C 依据最终一段其次句“If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same.”可知C项正确。
