Taxes, Taxes and More Taxes
Americans often say that there are only two things a person can be sure of in life; death and taxes. Americans do not have a corner on the “death” market, but many people feel that the United States leads the world with the worst taxes.
Taxes consist of the money which people pay to support their government. There are generally three levels of government in the United States: federal (聯邦), state, and city; therefore, there are three types of taxes.
Salaried people who earn more than a few thousand dollars must pay a certain percentage of their salaries to the federal government. The percentage varies form person to person. It depends on their salaries. The federal government has a graduated income tax, that is, the percentage of the tax (14 to 70 percent) increases as a person’s income increases. With the high cost of taxes people are not very happy on April 15, when the federal taxes are due.
The second tax is for the state government: New York, California, North Dakota, or any of the other forty-seven states. Some states have an income tax similar to that of the federal government. Of course, the percentage for the state tax is lower. Other states have a sales tax, which is a percentage charged to any item(項目) which you buy in that state. For example, a person might want to buy a packet of cigarettes for twenty-five cents. If there is a sales tax of eight percent in that state, then the cost of the cigarettes is twenty-seven cents. This figure includes the sales tax. Some states use income tax in addition to sales tax to raise their revenues (收入). The state tax laws are various and confusing.
The third tax is for the city. This tax comes in two forms: property tax (people who own a home have to pay taxes on it) and excise (國產) tax, which is charged on cars in a city. The cities use these funds for education, police and fire departments, public works and municipal (市政內) buildings.
Since Americans pay such high taxes, they often feel that they are working one day each week just to pay their taxes. People always complain about taxes. They often protest that the government uses their tax dollars in the wrong way. They say that it spends too much on useless and impractical programs. Although Americans have different views on many issues, they tend to agree on one subject: taxes are too high.
1.How do you understand the sentence “Americans do not have a corner on the ‘death’ market”?
A. It means that Americans, just like all other people, must die.
B. It means that Americans do not have a secret place to keep from death in their life.
C. It means that Americans are not good at doing business in the death market.
D. It means that there is no such place as a death market in the U. S.
2.Why should the American people usually pay three types of taxes?
A. There are three levels of government--federal, state and city-to support the United States.
B. There are three kinds of taxes to pay--graduated income tax, sales tax and property tax..
C. They earn different salaries: high, middle, and low.
D. Tax laws in different states are different.
3.What does the title “Taxes, Taxes, and More Taxes” imply?
A. Americans are not satisfied with the three types of taxes.
B. The three levels of government do not use the taxes in a right way.
C. Americans complain that taxes are too high.
D. Americans’ taxes are diverse and confusing.

I have this old clock that belonged to my mom. My dad gave it to me years ago after mom passed away.
I have mixed feelings about keeping the clock. I love it because it was my mom’s, but it also holds some bad memories.
You see, it chimes (打鐘報時). It counts out the hour and rings once on the half hour. Or at least it used to. Now you never know what number it will ring.
When my mother was at home dying from cancer, she asked for the clock to be unplugged (拔去插頭等). Hearing the hours count down really angered and frightened her.
Mom passed away. I decided I wanted to get the clock fixed so I could remember the good hours we had with her.
I took it to a local clock shop the other day.
“I know this has no particular value as a clock, but it was my mom’s and I need to get it fixed,” I said to the shop owner.
I went on to describe the problem.
“We get a lot of these in,” he told me. “Here’s what I do. We remove the clock works (機件) and replace it with a battery -operated movement (機芯) that chimes electronically,” he told me.
“You can’t fix this?” “No, we don’t have the time nor the parts.”
I thanked him and went home. I called a few other places and was told the same thing.
“How incredibly sad,” I told the last one disappointedly.
We copy the original instead of creating something new. We duplicate (復制); we don’t originate (發明). How incredibly sad that we have become a society that replaces craftsmanship (手藝) with convenience and easy fixes.
Sadly, this is also our attitude toward life itself.
Each of us is an original, one of a kind. But we find it so much easier to copy another’s style than to develop our own.
We are wannabes (崇拜別人的人) rather than “hey-world-look-at-me”s.
We fail to see the real value in who we are, so we spend our lives trying to be someone else.
1.The author decided to get the clock fixed because it ______.
A. was a really old and valuable clock
B. left the author with mixed feelings
C. was the only thing that his mother had left him
D. brought him memories of being with his mother
2.What did the clock shop owners tell the author?
A. It would cost a lot to repair the clock.
B. They could only make the clock electronic.
C. The parts that the clock needed were electronic.
D. They had never repaired a clock like this before.
3.The purpose of the article is to criticize ______.
A. the irresponsible clock shop owners
B. people who do not value things with a history
C. people who do not have a creative attitude toward life
D. people’s ignorance (無知) of traditional craftsmanship

Think how many love to skate or ski (滑雪) in Japan, Norway or Canada.
