• 2．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 kilometre.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 room to have their meals.
     The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration cards（登记卡） to the waiter.With such a loose check，you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends 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（相应地）．
     With so many loopholes（漏洞） in everyday life，surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take pretty advantages.But the strange thing is：all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fares 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.
  
  （1）What does the underlined words "take pretty advantages" in the last paragraph mean？

  
  A．Be ready to help others.
  B．Make good use of one's friends.
  C．Be a little ahead of others.
  D．Gain something at others' expenses.
  （2）According to the passage，the Finnish workers get paid by

  .
  A．what they have done for the boss
  B．their abilities and talents
  C．the hour they report to the boss
  D．the amount of money they want from the boss
  （3）Why are the Finns often considered as real gentlemen？

  
  A．Because they are very rich.
  B．Because they love to take pretty advantages.
  C．Because they love work more than money.
  D．Because they act on good faith in everything.
  （4）Which of the following is the best title for the passage？

  
  A．Life in Finland
  B．A society with "foolish"people
  C．What a life
  D．Honest accounts of the Finns

• 3．Industrial pollution is not only a problem for the countries of Europe and North America but also an extremely serious problem in some developing countries.For these countries，economic growth is a very important aim.They want to introduce industries，and so they put few controls on the industries which cause pollution.
     Cuba Tao，an industrial town of 85 000 people in Brazil，is an example of the connection between industrial development and pollution.In 1954，Cuba Tao had no industry.Today it has more than twenty large factories，which produce many pollutants（污染物）.The people of the town are suffering from the poisonous matter in their environment and the bad effects can be clearly seen.Birth shortcomings are extremely common.Among children and adults，lung problems are sometimes twelve times more common in Cuba Tao than in other places.
     It is true that Brazil，like many other countries，has laws against pollution，but these laws are not enforced strictly enough.It is cheaper for companies to take no notice of the laws and pay the fines（罚款） than to buy the expensive equipment that will reduce the pollution.It is clear，therefore，that economic growth is more important to the government than to the health of the workers.However，the responsibility（责任） does not completely lie with the Brazilian government.The example of Cuba Tao shows that international companies are not acting in a responsible way either.
     A number of the factories in the town are owned by large companies from France，Italy，and the U.S.They are doing things in Brazil that they would not be able to do at home.If they caused the same amount of pollution at home，they would be severely（严厉地） punished or even put out of business.
  
  （1）Why don't developing countries have strict pollution controls？

  
  A．The new industries they want to introduce do not cause much pollution.
  B．Pollution is not a serious problem for developing countries.
  C．They don't realize the balance of nature will be destroyed by some pollutants.
  D．If they put stricter controls on industry，fewer companies would build new plants in developing countries.
  （2）What is the author's purpose in taking Cuba Tao as an example？

  
  A．To show that industry can develop very fast in developing countries.
  B．To show that the pollution problem in Brazil is extremely serious.
  C．To show that industrial growth can cause pollution problems for developing countries.
  D．To show that pollution is killing many people and destroying the whole economy of Brazil.
  （3）How is the health of the population of Cuba Tao？

  
  A．There are more heart diseases among people who live near chemical factories.
  B．More people suffer from lung diseases because of poisonous matter.
  C．Their health is affected by pollutants the same way as that of other Brazilians.
  D．Babies there are found not as bright as those who live in other places.
  （4）Why do some foreign companies like to set up their plants in Brazil？

  
  A．The investment（投资） environment in Brazil is suitable for them.
  B．They will not be severely punished if they cause pollution in Brazil.
  C．They can make much money because they do not have to pay Brazilian workers much.
  D．They can act in an irresponsible（不负责任的） way in Brazil because there are no pollution laws there.

      Last week I went to visit to my former neighbour，Mr Yang.He and I used to living next to each other for many years.About half a year ago，an order came which the old building，along with many other similar ones，were going to be pulled down to make room for a main street.
      So I had to move apart.Mr Yang now lives in the suburb near a beautiful park.His new apartment is much big than before.The only problem is that it took quite a long time to get to the downtown area.Therefore，Mr Yang doesn't seem to worry about the long distance.He says that new subway line is to be built in a few year and he is sure life will be better in the future.
