Passage 3
If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how

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, 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 advantagesBut 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

Passage 4
This summer, I went to Sports Camp with my little brother, Charlie. When we hiked
to the pond, I was the only one who didn’t jump in. “Can’t you swim, Brandon?” asked
Henry. I can, but after you've seen pond water under a microscope(
显微镜
), you’re less
eager to cool off in it.
Tonight after sundown, we’re playing Capture the Flag. The campers are divided
into two teams, Blue and Red. Each team hides a flag, then has an hour to find and take
the other team’s flag. Charlie and I are on the Blue team. When Kenneth, our team
captain, asks who wants to scout out the Red flag. My brother raises his hand.
Charlie goes with a bunch of boys from our team. The rest of us stay behind to
guard our flag, which we've hidden in a nearby tree. Soon, Charlie is back, his face as
red as paint. “All the others were caught. But I saw their flag!” he pants. “Inside the
door of the director’s cabin!”
Kenneth waves us over. “Time’s running out. Any ideas?”
“I’ll stay with Charlie and Isaiah and guard our flag, ” offers Henry.
Kenneth points to Marshall and me. “let’s go. ” he says.
We run through the woods. Unluckily, two boys from the Red team noticed
Kenneth and Marshall, and they were caught. I hide behind a tree and try to figure out
which cabin is the director’s.
A whistle sounds, and my heart beats fast. Only five minutes left! No time to check
