All the tours are charged and designed only for adventures.BIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “
14、foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly highclass 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
15、your fare. The driver would not show the least signs 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 g
16、ood faith is to wave their registration cards to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can 4easily 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 a
17、t 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 that all the taxi passengers would always come
18、back to pay their fares after they have attended to their business and that 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

20、aking 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 youre living in the hotel.C.

22、ch of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Life in Finland B. A Society with “Foolish” PeopleC. What a Life D. Honest Accounts of the FinnsCKanda really doesnt like to walk alone.

23、er driveeven though he lives close to his lab and knows that walking is healthy.“I enjoy walking with someone, like with my wife, with my daughter,” Kanda said.“But they are not always available.”So Kanda, who specializes in humanlike bots, developed a robotic walking partner that could make small t
24、alk based on its surroundings, which, he hopes, might motivate people to get out and exercise more. The bot (聊天机器人) rests on a persons shoulder like a boxy parrot. It weighs about a pound and a half and sits roughly 8.5 inches high, and is 3.5 inches wide and 10 inches long. A microphone，a speaker，a
25、nd an internal camera allow it to communicate. Its even equipped with a smile.Kanda and his team collected video from five different locations，including a garden and a shopping mall，and created a dataset of small talk topics related to each location. Then they programmed the robot to associate visua
26、l cues（虚拟暗示）with specific topics. A special speech software provided the robot with a voice. Near a group of parked cars，for example，it might say, “In a big parking lot，sometimes I forget where I parked.”They tested the robot on 15 volunteers,10 males and 5 females, who were paid and averaged about
27、26 years old.“Have you ever blown a puff of dandelion(蒲公英)seeds into the air？” The robot asked a participant, who smiled and responded, “Yes, I often did that when I was a child.” Although several participants noted the robots weight, Kanda was surprised that no one considered the experience strange
28、 or funny.“I guess people enjoy new technologies,” he said.Just like a human partner, Kandas bot isnt perfect. Its not able to go for walks in heavy rain and，while the robot can make expressions, it cant really hold a conversation, about which Kanda is most worried. Despite its limits, Kanda was com
29、forted by the bots presence.“I felt a kind of sense of being with someone,” he said, “particularly when it spoke.”28Why does Kanda have the idea of developing a robotic walking partner?A.

33、niors have the chance to bond.Established in 1991，the ILCs purpose is to allow kids to learn about acceptance while they are also being nurtured(培育).
