IfyougotoFinland,you’llbesurpr-优题课

If you go to Finland, you’ll 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 (票价) 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 get off without paying your fare. And the driver would not show the least sign of worry.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so 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 and dine free of charge.
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 things 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. As the Finns always act on good faith and always show an attitude of “which is which” and “what is what” in everything they do, so to live 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 take precautions (预防措施) against others?
The word “foolish” probably means _____________.

A．friendly　　　

B．careful　　　

C．strange　　　

D．funny

Why wouldn’t the driver show the least sign of worry? Because _________.

A．he is sure that the passengers always act on good faith

B．he is afraid to make the passengers angry and unhappy

C．he thinks the passengers may be too poor to pay him

D．he is sure that the passengers are really in trouble

The dining rooms in all big hotels ___________.

A．check the guests’ registration card carefully

B．give people meals without paying

C．serve their guests free of charge

D．only serve their guests free breakfast

What’s FALSE according to the passage?

A．No one takes advantages although there are many loopholes.

B．All the taxi-passengers come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business.

C．Not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms.

D．Finland is heaven for immoral people because they can always take advantages freely.

The sentences “which is which” and “what is what” show that __________.

A．the Finns are foolish

B．the Finns take things seriously

C．the Finns are busy making money for the family

D．the Finns never take precaution against others

Dear Erik,

Surprise! I believe you didn’t expect a note from your mom in your lunchbox! How is your school day so far? I hope it is going well. You always do your best. I am proud of you!

Because I had to leave so early this morning, I wrote this note last night and put it into your lunchbox to wish you well on your speech today. With all of your amazing research, writing, and practice, you are going to do great!

I know that you get a little nervous talking in front of large groups—everybody does. But, just remember what you practiced and you just might forget about being nervous.

Here are just a few things to remember when you are giving a speech:

1.Make eye contact（眼神交流）with your classmates.

Well, that’s all for now. I am thinking of you today and I know you will do great. Do your best and be brave like George Washington. He was an excellent choice for your speech.

Good luck Erik!

Maybe we can go out for ice cream after school!

There is no doubt that technology has had a big influence on our lives. People from all around the world can now talk to each other almost at once on mobile phones and the Internet. People can easily solve their problems with the help of computers and the world wide web. With this technology, it seems that the world is more connected now than ever before. Even so, there have been worries about technology making people feel lonely and disconnected from others around them.

So does this mean that technology makes us lonely?

In my opinion, it is hard to say Yes or No.

It’s true that humans need communication with each other. If we depend on technology too much to communicate, this can badly impact our mental（心理的） health. For me, technology is a tool. And just like any other kind of tool — like scissors, a pencil or a ruler, for example, it depends on how we use it: in a right way or in a right place. Take social media（社交媒体） as an example. If you only use it to compare yourself with others, you might feel sad and lonely. But if you use it as a tool to connect with friends and family or to start a new community to talk about your hobbies and interests, the loneliness will turn into love and friendship.

When you feel lonely after staring at your computer screen all day, maybe you can use that technology to reach out to a reliable（可靠的） friend and invite him or her out for lunch or a coffee.

（1）According to the writer, technology is ________ .

A．	a tool	B．	an influence
C．	a pair of scissors	D．	a way of communication

（2）What’s the meaning of the underlined word “impact” in Paqugraph 4?

帮助

促进

影响

进入

（3）According to the passage, if people use technology too much, people may ________ .

sleep less

live longer

feel lonely

get more jobs

（4）When we use technology to________ others, we can find love and friendship.

argue with

compete with

connect with

compare with

（5）What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．	Social media is important to us.	B．	Technology can be good and bad to us.
C．	People need to communicate with each other.	D．	Computers and the Internet help us with our work.

阅读下列短文。从每篇短文后所给各题的A. B. C. D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

When I was walking back home at around 12:15 p.m. one day, an apple core（果核） came flying toward me. It landed just before my feet. Surprised, but I felt lucky not to get hit by it.

The apple was thrown over a wall by a school student. I live opposite a school. The wall separates my house from the school.

Thinking it was a one-off（一次的） experience, I told my friends, and we laughed about it.

Then, a week later, I was walking along exactly the same place at the same time and bam! Another apple core came over. This time it landed on the roof（屋顶） of a house. Oh, my God! I was nearly hit by it!

Last week I was on my way home. I checked my phone. It was 12:15 p.m. I thought about those two times when I had seen apple cores thrown over the wall. But suddenly, another apple core was thrown over with speed!

Enough was enough. Someone could be really hurt by these cores. Did the student(s) not realize that people live across the wall? Or did they not care?

I told my friend about it. “You should just throw the apple back over the wall. That will teach them,” my friend suggested. But I don’t want to play that “game”. As they say, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

Maybe I’ll call the school and let them know. The students need to know that they might hurt someone if they keep throwing their waste. What’s more, waste belongs in the bin, not anywhere else.

（1）How did the writer feel after she saw the first thrown apple core?

Bored.

Lucky.

Embarrassed.

Angry.

（2）How many times did the writer see an apple core thrown over the wall?

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

Four times.

（3）From the underlined sentence, we can learn that ________ .

A．	the writer will set up a camera on the wall
B．	the writer will throw the apple back next time
C．	the writer was hit in the eye by the thrown apple core
D．	the writer will not fight back by doing the same thing

（4）What can we infer（推断） from the story?

A．	Somebody was once hurt by thrown waste there.
B．	The apple cores were thrown by the same student.
C．	The students could see clearly when the writer was walking by.
D．	The school may find out about the problem and make new rules.
