waiting for a public transport bus to go back home. it was nine oclock at night, and although many buses passed, none stopped.we had waited for an hour and were getting desperate. we wouldnt be able to stay overnight because it was a weekday, and we both needed to work the next day. it was almost 10 pm when a family who had attended the same wedding passed by in their car. probably sensing that we were waiting for some means of transport, they stopped and gave us a lift. i was so moved by their kindness, and i expressed my gratitude to them.when we reached my hometown, the family dropped us at the nearest point from where we could catch a shared rickshaw(人力车) to get back to the spot where we had parked our bikes. on the way, a labourer stopped the rickshaw. the driver saw his clothes and asked him whether he had any money to pay the fare.the lablourer shook his head and said, “no.” on hearing this, the driver refused to take him. i remembered my own plight (困境) a few minutes earlier, and i told the driver to allow the labourer to sit with us, as i would pay his fare.what an immediate opportunity to pass on the familys act of kindness! that night, i felt lightness in my heart, and

of europe, and has russia to the east. it is two different places in winter and summer. summers there are fairly dry and hot, although by august things can already begin to get cold and unpleasant. of course, winters are cold, but the cold is dry. in most parts snow comes in october and clears by the end of march, but in the northern parts snow can fall as early as september and stay until late may. the tourist season in southern finland is from early june to late august. this is when all the tourist attractions and summer programs are open, with steamboats and ferries (渡船) traveling on the lakes and rivers, and festivals become very lively. finnish holidays are from the summer high season in late june to the end of july. this is the time period of nights with sunlight, when finland doesnt seem to sleep. the tourist season in northern finland is different. mosquitoes (蚊子) can be annoying in july, but september is lovely with its autumn colors. october, february and march are good times to visit the north of finland to view the aurora borealis (北极光), and enjoy winter activities such as skiing and dog sledding. the christmas holiday period is also one of the best times in finland after all, this is the “official” home of santa claus. helsinki, the capital of finland, is popular all year round. 25. what do we learn about finland from the first paragraph? a. it is to the

wants to work together to help the public. we think we have found a great way to do this. last month we did a class project on the highways near our town. we learned about the adopt-a-highway program. this program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads. we think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway.adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. when a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. the group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean. each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it. the sign is put up at the side of the road. this sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean.the adopt-a-highway program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer. also, the government does not have to send out as many road workers. this saves money. finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people, especially teenagers like us, cleaning them up. we will need helpers to care for our adopted highway. if you want to feel great and keep our roads clean，please come with your parents to the meeting next week. we will meet in mrs. lake room on wednesday at 6:00 p. m. at the meeting, we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of peoples unkind acts. then we ll try to pick an area to adopt and clean. i look forward to seeing you at the meeting. remember to keep our roads clean!29.what is the adopt-a-highway program about? a. giving names to
