题目内容
15.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 driver as an example.Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Bens with a fare (车费) of two US dollars a kilometer.You can go anywhere in one,tell the driver to take you to any place you want to,say that you have some business to attend to (料理),and then walk off without paying your fare.The driver will not be anxious.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests (客人),but also serve outside eaters.Hotel guests have their meals free,so they naturally go to the free dining room to have their meals.The only thing they need to do is to show their cards to the waiter.You can easily use any old room card to take a couple of friends to eat dinner without paying.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour.But to my surprise,they can remember everything so clearly that the workers only need to say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid by their boss.
With so many loopholes (漏洞) in everyday life,surely Finland must be a heaven (天堂) to those who love to take"small advantages".But the strange thing is:all the taxi passengers will always come back to pay their fare after they have dealt with their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms; and workers always give an honest answer of the exact hours they put in.As the Finns always act on good trust in everything they do,living in such a society has turned everyone into a real"gentleman (绅士)".
86.Are the Finns really foolish?No,they aren't.
87.What is the taxi fare in Finland?Two US dollars a kilometer.
88.Who can have free dinner in hotels?Hotel guests.
89.Will the Finnish workers get paid by the hour or by the day?By the hour.
90.What do you think of the people in Finland?They are really"gentleman"..
