If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.

 
 


62.

Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare(车费) 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.

 
63.

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 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.

 
64.

 
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.

65.

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”.

George Washington Carver and Thomas Alva Edison were American scientists who were born during the nineteenth century. Caver, who was black, was born in Missouri in 1864.Although his parents were slaves, he was able to get a college education. After he graduated from Iowa State College, he developed many important new methods of farming. He also discovered many new uses for farming products. His discovery included three hundred uses for peanut and two hundred uses for sweet potatoes. Edison, who was born in Ohio in 1847, was not a good student when he was a young boy, so his parents took him out of school and his mother educated him at home.
