A

One day, I stood at the roadside waiting for a bus. Everything was going as normal when suddenly I heard a voice beside me; it was a boy in old clothes, with a face that seemed like it had never been washed at all. I felt so disgusted at that moment that I tried to pull myself away from that little boy.

The boy kept following me, shouting, “Bhaiya! Bhaiya!” ( Big brother! Big brother!), but I didn’t answer him at all! My inner self was cursing the country for its poor conditions. Always begging for money梚t all kept annoying me, making me feel more reluctant to answer that dirty little boy who kept calling to me. r“Bhaiya! Bhaiya!” I heard him call out again. This made me very angry and I shouted at him that I had no money to give him. And the boy, without even bothering to hear my words of despair, said to me, “Bhaiya, could you please help me cross the road?”

The next moment, I felt numb. I couldn’t feel my legs. The sudden feeling of shame had engulfed(吞没) me from within. Was this what I had become? Had prejudice engulfed me to such a level that I decided that they begged for money and food every time somebody passed by?

I held the boy’s hand firmly—and for the first time, without a feeling of disgust that he might not have taken a bath for days or weeks, I helped him cross the road, and that successful act of assistance created a new hope inside me. I realized that our being judgmental will surely have a very bad effect unless we overcome it.

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, 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 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 "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".  In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?25. While taking a taxi in Finland, a passenger _________.

A. only pays two US dollars for a taxi ride

D. The workers are always honest with their working hours.

27.The underlined words in the passage mean to “_________”.A. gain something at other’s loss
