Several American students visited our school. Upon our arrival, we gave a warm welcome to them, among them a boy named Tim was to stay with my family for the weekend. I recognized Tim compared him with photo he had sent to me. Tim greeted me and expressed that how excited he felt. When school was over, we took the subway home. My parents prepared a rich family dinner that night and we had enjoyed ourselves so much, eating and chatting. The next day, I act as a guide, showing Tim along the most famous scenic spots in Beijing. Wherever he went, he had some photos take to help him memorize this unforgettable trip to China. The time to say goodbye came when we realized it. I gave Tim a kite as a souvenir.

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

Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class 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 is to wave their registration 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 practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?

While taking a taxi in Finland, a passenger __________.

A. can go anywhere without having to pay the driver

B. only pays two US dollars for a taxi ride

      C. can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go

       D. needs to provide good faith demonstration before leaving without paying

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 provide meals for all kinds of diners

      C. guests can enjoy free food once they stayed in the hotel

      D. big hotels are mostly poorly managed

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 workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.

      C. The workers are always honest with their working hours.

       D. The bosses are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.

It can be concluded that _________.

      A. Finnish people are really foolish in daily life

      B. Finland has been a good place for cheats

      C. the Finnish society is of very high moral level

      D. all the Finns are rich and therefore honest

One day in l965, when I worked at View Ridge School in Seattle, a fourth-grade teacher approached me. She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed a challenge. "Could he help in the library?" She asked. I said, "Send him along."

　　Soon a slight, sandy-haired boy in jeans and a T-shift appeared. "Do you have a job for me?" he asked.

　　I told him about the Dewey Decimal System for shelving books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him a stack of cards for long-overdue books that I was beginning to think had actually been returned but were misshelved with the wrong cards in them. He said, "Is it kind of a detective job?" I answered yes, and he became working.

　　He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and announced, "Time for break!" He argued for finishing the finding job; She made the case for fresh air. She won.

　　The next morning, he arrived early. "I want to finish these books," he said. At the end of the day, when he asked to be a librarian on a regular basis, it was easy to say yes. He worked untiringly.

　　After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy's home. At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother announced that the family would be moving to neighbouring school district. Her son's first concern, she said, was leaving the View Ridge library. "Who will find the lost books?" he asked.

　　When the time came, I said a reluctant good-bye. I missed him, but not for long. A few days later he came back and joyfully announced: "The librarian over there doesn't let boys work in the library. My mother got me transferred back to View Ridge. My dad will drop me off on his way to work. And if he can’t, I'll walk!"

I should have had an inkling(感觉) such focused determination would take that young man wherever he wanted to go. What I could not have guessed, however, was that he would become a wizard of the Information Age: Bill Gates, tycoon of Microsoft and America's richest man.

What was the author when the story happened?

       A. A teacher.                 B. A librarian.               C. A detective.              D. A professor.

What was the boy told to do on his first day in the library?

B. To put those overdue books back to the shelves.

C. To find out the books with wrong cards in them.

D. To put the cards back in the long-overdue books.

D. he was not allowed to work in the school library

C. was extremely quick at learning                            D. had a kind heart

阅读下面短文，根据小题的具体要求，简要回答问题，并将答案转写到答题卡上。

A woman saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She said, ‘I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.’ ‘We do not go into a House together,’ they replied. ‘Why is that?’ she asked.

One of the old men explained, ‘His name is Wealth,’ he said pointing to one of his friends, ‘and he is Success, and I am Love.’ Then he added, ‘Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.’

The woman went in and told her husband what the old man said. Her husband was excited. ‘How nice!’ he said. ‘Since is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!’ His wife disagreed. ‘My dear, why don't we invite Success?’ Their daughter was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion, ‘Wouldn't it be better to invite Love? Our home will then be full of love.’ The husband said to his wife, ‘Go out and invite Love to be our guest.’

The woman went out and asked the three old men, ‘Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest.’ Love got up and started walking towards the house. The other two also got up and followed him, the lady asked Wealth and Success, ‘I only invited Love, ­why are you coming in?’

The old men replied together, ‘If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!’
