Passage 2

One day in January, my uncle, my cousin and I decided to go hunting. We left by

car in the afternoon. It was a Range Rover with four-wheel drive. It took us three

hours to get there. After we arrived at 5:15 p.m., we fixed the tent, then made coffee

and had a short rest. After that, we went hunting, using a falcon （猎鹰）. We spent

two hours without finding anything. On our way back to the camp, my cousin saw a

rabbit. I removed the falcon’s bead cover and let go of the aggressive falcon. When

the rabbit saw the falcon, it ran fast, but my falcon was a professional hunter. He flew

up and came down to trick the rabbit. After two minutes, the rabbit was caught. We

took back it to the camp to cook our dinner. We ate the delicious food, drank Arabic

coffee, and sat around the fire talking until 10:30 p.m.

　　 We left the camp the next day at 7 o’clock in the morning. We went north.

However, around 10:00 a.m. our car got stuck in the sand! We spent about three

hours trying to pull out the car without any progress. Finally, we decided to walk. As it

was hard for an old man or a young boy to walk more than 40km in the desert, I

decided to get help myself. I took a bottle of water with me and started to walk south

alone. I knew the way well, but it was a long way in the sand. I walked more than four

hours without stopping. When I felt so tired and thirsty, I stopped to rest. I drank all

the water and slept for around two hours.

　　When I got up, it was dark. I continued to walk south. I was worried about my

uncle and cousin. Suddenly, I met a Bedouin man who was riding his camel. He took

me to his house. When I had had enough rest, I asked him to take me to the road

where I found a car. it took me to the city to get help. I had one day to get back to my

uncle and cousin. When I got back to them, they were so happy because I had gotten

help and they were able to see me again.

Passage Three

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. And 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?　　

26.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 go anywhere he wants

D. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration

27. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland_____

A. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels

B. provide meals for any diners

C. provide free wine and charge for food

D. are mostly poorly managed

28. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.

B. The bosses in Finland are always too busy to check their employees.

C. The workers are honest with their working hours.

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

29. The word “those” in the last paragraph probably refers to _____

A. people who often take taxis

B. people who often have meals in big hotels

C. people who are dishonest
