If you ever have a chance to go to Finland (芬兰), you’ll probably be surprised to find how "foolish" the Finnish people are.
You can go anywhere for one dollar, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then stalk off without paying your fare or give any demonstration of your good faith. And the driver will not show the least sign of anxiety.
Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals, and 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 wine and dine free of charge.
With so many loopholes (漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be heaven to those who love to take "petty advantages". As the Finns always act on good faith and always adopt an attitude of "which is which&q

Have you ever wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colors Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts, but birds cannot easily catch locusts because locusts change their colors together with the change of the color of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the color much like the barks of trees.
An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A
A. the change of color in locusts
B. the protective coloration of animals and pests
C. how a certain sea fish protects itself
D. animals or pests can dye themselves different colors

So far the presence of life on Mars has neither been proved nor ruled out. Russian space-probes have discovered that the surface of Venus is so hot that it is almost certain that there is no
