Before windows were used, old houses in Northern Europe and Britain were very dark. Their great rooms were high with only one hole in the roof to let the smoke out from cooking fire. As time went on, people began to make the holes bigger to have more light and air in their homes. The first English window was just a small opening in the wall. It was cut long, to let in as much light as possible, and narrow, to keep out the bad weather. However, with the window cut long, more wind than light would e in. This is why it was called “the wind’s eyes”. And the word “window” es from two ancient words for “wind” and “eye”.

I was in a strange city and I didn’t know the city at all. And what’s more, I couldn’t speak a word of the language. After having spent my first day in the town center, I decided to lose my way on my second day, since I was sure that this was the better way of getting to know the strange city. I got on the first bus in the morning, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed happily enough. Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even that was pronounced badly.
I stopped to ask a friendly-looking newspaper seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. Then I met a policeman. I asked him at once. The policeman listened to me carefully, smiled and took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I thanked him politely and began walking on.
About an hour passed and I found that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields could be seen on either side of me. I had e all the way into the country. The thing left for me to do was to find the nearest bus station.

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 e 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?
( ) 1. The word “foolish” probably means _____________.
A. friendly
B. careful
C. strange
D. funny
( ) 2. 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
( ) 3. 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
( ) 4. What’s FALSE according to the passage?
A. No one takes advantages although there are many loopholes.
B. All the taxi-passengers e 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. ( ) 5. 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
