26、If you ever have a chance to go to Finland, you’ll probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.
Take the taxi drivers for example. You can go anywhere on a journey, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and that you will pay the taxi driver later. He will agree without any anxiety but just accept your words in good faith (诚意).
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also provide outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals, and the most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card (住房卡) to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to wine and dine free of charge.
Finnish workers are paid by the hour. If you work in Finland and have agreed with the boss on the hourly rate (费用), then you just say how many hours you have worked and they will be paid accordingly.
With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a country to those who love to take “small 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, workers always give the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith and always have an attitude of “right is right” and “wrong is wrong” in everything they do, so living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.
What we regard as “foolish” is actually the Finnish people’s way of life.
【1】Which of the following is TRUE about Finland according to the passage?
A.The taxi driver will be angry if you forget to pay your fare.
B.Hotels provide their guests meals for free.
C.Hotels’ dining rooms don’t serve outside dinners.
D.It is very cheap to take a taxi in Finland.
【2】How are the workers in Finland paid?
A.By the hour.
B.By the day.
C.By the week.
D.By the month.
【3】The fifth paragraph is mainly to tell us that the Finnish people are very ________.
A.stupid
B.clever
C.honest
D.lovely
【4】The author’s attitude towards Finnish people’s way of life is that of ________.
A.doubt
B.not caring
C.worry
D.praise
【5】What would be the best title for this passage?
A.Old Finnish customs
B.How to take “small advantages”
C.How to get a job in Finland
D.The “foolish” Finns

29、A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That’s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed (消耗) at least an ounce (盎司) of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.
The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.
Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But long before researchers have noticed that the incidence (发生率) of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption (消费) averages more than 3 ounces.
For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.
At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.
During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.
【1】We can infer from the passage that there are fewer heart disease deaths __________.
A.in highly-developed countries
B.in countries of the yellow-skin race
C.in the countries with good production of fish
D.in the countries with high consumption of fish
【2】The phrase “this relationship” in paragraph 6 refers to the connection between __________and the level of heart disease.
A.the amount of fish eaten
B.regular fish-eating
C.the kind of fish eaten
D.people of different areas
【3】In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage?
A.Movies
B.Advertisements
C.Health and Diet
D.Entertainment
【4】The passage is mainly about __________.
A.the changes in people’s diet in the United States
B.the effect of eating fish regularly on people’s health
