Contemporary art installations B 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(料理), 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(住宿 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 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(价钱). 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 "petty advantages"( 贪小便宜). 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? 24.While taking a taxi in Finland, __. A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driver B. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi ride C. a passenger can never be refused by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go D. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying. 第1页共4页 25. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland A. are mostly poorly managed B. provide meals for any diners C. provide free wine and charge for food D. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels 26. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour. B. The workers are always honest with their working hours C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay D. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees. 27.The word "those" in the last paragraph probably refers to A. people who are dishonest B. people who often have meals in big hotels C. people who often take taxis D. people who are worthy of trust C People tend to treat anger as something terrible and unacceptable. Many parents around the world teach their children to suppress (抑制) or ignore their anger. Intentionally or not, they show their children that feeling angry is wrong, and it is better to always look calm and balanced. However, that is not right. Angcr plays an extremely important role in a person's emotional health Anger can be effectively used to establish and defend your individual principle, personal space, sense of justice, beliefs, and so on. When another person somehow annoys you, one of the first emotions you normally experience is anger, along with the urge to fix an unpleasant situation or do something else to defend yourself. Generally, anger explains your readiness to face threat and gives you strength to do so. Therefore, when used with care, it is your best weapon (武器) for emergencies Anger can serve to cover some other emotions of yours if they are less appropriate Sometimes, expressing fear is unacc:ptable, especially for men. For instance, masculinity (男 子气概) and bravery are highly valued among men in some traditional cultures. So, covering fear with anger, acting aggressively remains a more appropriate choice for men. And this is an effective strategy, not just in terms of saving one's reputation within a certain social group, but dealing with difficulties and overcoming barriers. Anger is an extremely powerful emotion and it is not recommended to suppress or ignore it if it is not dangerous. A person who has been covering and hiding his or her anger cannot get rid of it, and the anger will still build up inside, finally resulting in violence as a response to a situation that does not require it. What you can do is express it in socially acceptable ways in most circumstances. Therefore, anger itself is not a bad thing.
