It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word “congratulations. ”I don’t remember ever smiling so wide.
Then I looked at my financial(財政的)package.
The cost of Dream School’s tuition(學(xué)費), room and board was around $ 40,000- an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My other choices were good, solid schools even if they weren’t as famous as my first choice.
In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn’t sure what to do.
One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents’ financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself.
At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus (校園)including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.
As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there.
In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my “dream”university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.
【小題1】How did the author feel when he started to read the letter?
A.He was lost in his dream. |
B.He was full of joy. |
C.He was worried about the money. |
D.He was uncertain which school to go to. |
A.honest | B.supportive | C.strict | D.decisive |
A.would charge me nothing for tuition |
B.would pay for transport to the school |
C.would show me around the campus |
D.would offer free meals at all events |
A.You should consider comfort in your choice of schools. |
B.You should try your best to attend your dream school. |
C.Your second-choice college may actually by your best fit. |
D.Your choice of schools should be based on their fame. |

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. 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(登記)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”.
【小題1】 The underlined words in this passage means to “______”.
A.be ready to help others | B.make good use of one’s friends |
C.be a little ahead of others | D.gain something at other’s expense |
A.While taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off without first paying your fare. |
B.In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if you’re living in the hotel. |
C.The bosses in Finland pay the employees according to registration of their working hours. |
D.The workers are always honest with their working hours. |
A.the Finnish society is of very high moral (道德) level |
B.there are many loopholes in everyday life in Finland |
C.in Finland, most taxi drivers will not charge you anything |
D.everyone in Finland is like a gentleman, for they have faith in themselves |
A.Life in Finland | B.A Society with “Foolish” People |
C.What a Life | D.Honest accounts of the Finns |
