     If you walk slowly through downtown Helsinki (赫爾辛基) during the day, taking in the splendid 19th
century buildings, white boats and noise of passing trams (有軌電車), you will start to understand why it
is called a city of two colors: white and blue.
     The sea is always present in Helsinki. When you take a walk over the great open space of the central
square, you will hear seabirds screaming. When you take the tram, suddenly and unexpectedly, you are
faced with a calm, shining blue sea. You may notice that people in Helsinki do not rush about as in other
cities. Instead, they walk along the roads, politely letting other people by.
     A usual way to see Helsinki for the first time is to start out by boat. You will walk by the elderly women
selling fish and vegetables in the market square and find yourself in front of a beautiful park. You may enjoy
a pleasant walk in the park for a few hours and then take the tram. Trams are the perfect way to get around
in Helsinki. Watching the old houses, parks, theatres, churches, shops, restaurants and people in the streets,
you may have a slightly sad film feeling to it.
     The pale summer nights are another wonder in the city. Following the waterfront (濱水區(qū)) of the city
after sunset, you couldn't help stopping and listening to the sweet silence, interrupted only by the screaming
seabirds and leaving fishing boats.
     However, in some way Helsinki is also the most modern city in northern Europe. You will surely want to
visit the white Glass Palace, the modern art museum, and all those extremely popular cafes and design stores.
1. Helsinki is called a city of two colors mainly because of the colors of its ______.
A. 19th century buildings, boats and parks
B. 19th century buildings, boats and seabirds
C. old houses, parks and trams
D. old buildings, boats and the sea
2. The best way to see most of Helsinki is to go _____.
A. by boat
B. by bus
C. by tram
D. on foot
3. The 19th century buildings, the white Glass Palace, popular cafes and design shops in Helsinki all show that 
    Helsinki is _____.
A. both splendid and traditional
B. both quiet and noisy
C. both historical and modern
D. both old and new
4. This passage is most likely to be found in _____.
A. a story book
B. a geography textbook
C. a research report
D. a travel magazine

If you are a 30-plus plain Jane, or if you are not a local fresh graduate, get ready for the embarrassment(尷尬) in the job market. And you are just one of the millions to face discrimination（歧視）.
About 85 percent of the 3,424 people covered by a survey in 10 big cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, said discrimination in work and employment（就業(yè)） did exist. Also, the survey results given on Friday showed that 58 percent thought the problem to be severe（嚴重）.
Appearance, height and gender are the most discriminative categories（范疇）, the Beijing Morning Post reported.
Some requirements could be funny. The newspaper said Beijing citizen Zhang Meng, who had more than 10 years’ driving experience, failed to get a job because his possible employers considered his name to be “unlucky”.
“Meng”, they said, literally(字面上)means “rush” in Chinese, which made him more accident prone（傾向）than others.
Employers discriminate against people from certain regions or areas, such as Central China’s Henan Province, because of the bad impression they have about them. Beijing citizens, too, have their share of bad luck because they are generally considered lazy.
Cai Dingjian, a professor from China University of Political Science and Law, who headed the survey, said such requirements, which are not connected with the job itself, violate（侵犯）people’s equal right to look for a career. “It violates basic human rights,” he said to the newspaper.
Cai said governments should pay attention to such discriminations because they exist not only in companies, but are also practiced by them. One example is that civil servants(公務員) are usually required to have a pleasant personality.
