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
Taxes consist of the money which people pay to support their government. There are generally three levels of
government in the United States: federal(联邦) , state, and city; so there are three types of taxes.
People who earn more than a few thousand dollars must pay a certain percentage of their salaries to the federal
government. The percentage changes from 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(项目) 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 earnings. The state tax laws are diverse（多样) and confusing(混淆).
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 tax, which is charged on cars in a city. The cities use these funds (资金) for education, police and fire departments,
public works and city 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
(问题), they tend to agree on one subject: taxes are too high.
( ) 16. How do you understand the sentence
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.

In October, 1961, at Crowley Field in Cincinnati, Ohio, an old, deaf gentleman named William E. Hoy stood up to
throw the first ball of the World Series. Most people at Crowley Field on that day probably did not remember Hoy because he
had retired () from professional baseball 58 years earlier, in 1903. However, he had been an outstanding player and the deaf
people still talk about him and his years in baseball.
William E. Hoy was horn in Houckstown, Ohio, on May 23, 1862. He became deaf when he was two years old. He
attended the Columbus Ohio School for the deafAfter graduation, he started playing baseball while working as a
shoemaker.
Hoy began playing professional baseball in 1886 for Oshkosh (Wisconsin) of the Northwestern League. In 1888, he
started as an outfielder(外场手) with the old Washington Senators. His small figure and speed made him an outstanding base
runner. He was very good at stealing bases during his career. In the 1888 major league season, he stole 82 bases. He was also the
Senators' leading hitter in 1888. Hoy was clever; he threw right-handed and batted left-handed. On June 19, 1889, he threw out
three batters (击球手)

at the plate from his outfield position.
The arm signals used by judges today to show balls and strikes began because of Hoy. The judge lifted his right arm to
show that the pitch was a strike, and his left arm to signal that it was a ball.
For many years, people talked about Hoy's last ball game in 1903. He was playing for Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast
Winter League. It was a memorable game because Hoy made a wonderful play which won the game. It was a very foggy
night and, therefore, very hard to see the ball. In the ninth inning(棒球的一局), with two men out, Hoy managed to catch a fly
ball to make the third out in spite of the fog. Los Angeles defeated their opposition and won the game.
After he retired, Hoy stayed busy. He ran a dairy farm near Cincinnati for 20 years. He
also became a public speaker and traveled giving speeches. Until a few years before his
death, he took 4 and 10 mile walks several mornings a week. On December 15, 1961,
William Hoy died at the age of 99.

Everyone Will Get Old
Until late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with people of old generations. Now mid-aged Americans
may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.
That's because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day- care center, our 13-year-olds in
school and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior- citizen homes. Why?
We live away from the old for many reasons: young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears for aging (衰老)
and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes it's so hard that we stay away
from the people who need us most.
Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the young.
A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter
baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit them. Soon the children had many new friends,
with whom thev shared food, stories and project.
The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby. She was immediately
surrounded. People who hadn't gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had
seemed asleep wake up to watch the child. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.
Grandparents are a special case. They give grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As my husband put it,

Grandchildren speak of attention they don't get from worried parents.
and my grandparents told me to slow down,
with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer, more trusting.

（ ）27. Now in an American family, people can find that ___________ .
A. children never live with their parents
B. not all working people live with their parents
C. aged people are supported by their grandchildren
D. grandchildren are supported by their grandparents
（ ）28. The reason why old people are left alone may be that ___________ .
A. the old don't like to live in a big family
B. the young can't get enough money to support the old
C. different generations have different lifestyles
D. the old are too weak to live with the young

A. old people in America lead a hard life
B. old people in America enjoy banana bread

（ ）30. Seeing a baby, the old people get excited because ____________ .
A. they had never seen a baby before
B. the baby was clever and beautiful
C. the baby brought them the comfort
D. the baby's mother would take care of them.

B. Because their parents are too busy to take care of them.
C. Because their parents have to take care of their grandparents.
D. Because their parents have been out of work for a long time.
The Golden Gate Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge is in San Francisco. The bridge crosses part of a bay and leads to roads going north. Until
1937, there was no bridge at this place. The only way across was by ferry boat. The space seemed too big for a bridge. But
one man, Joseph Strauss had always wanted to build a bridge there. Finally, he got his way.
Joseph Strauss drew up plans for the new bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge would be a suspension bridge (悬索桥).
The roadway would hang from giant cables—thick ropes of steel. At each end of the bridge, huge towers would hold up the
cables.
Work on the bridge began in 1933 and went on for four years. Workmen climbed hundreds of feet above the icy water.
A net was stretched under the bridge to catch any workers who might fall. Some did fall into the net and were rescued.
Joseph Strauss's dream came true on May 28,1937, at a cost of $$ 35 million. Long lines of cars crossed the bridge for the
first time on that day.
The Golden Gate Bridge was one of the largest and most magmficent suspension bridges in the world of that time. It
spans a channel at the entrance of San Francisco Bay. The bridge, which has a total length of 8,981 feet (2,737meters),
connects northern California to peninsula (半岛) of San Francisco.
Its towers are among the first buildings seen from ships coming near San Francisco. These towers stand on either side
of the bridge, about 1,125 feet (343 meters) from the ends. They hold up the two steel cables 36 inches (93 centimeters) in
diameter, from which the bridge hangs. The part between the towers is 4,200 feet (1,280 centimetres) long, one of the world's
longest spans. The floor is about 200 feet ( 67 meters ) above the water, and 90 feet (27 meters) wide. It has a six-lane road
and sidewalks.

1. 复习本次课上所讲的重要考点，整理笔记。
2．完成课后作业
Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra
heading which you do not need.
A. Officials supported the idea
B. The reason why some cyber cafes were opened
C. Who put the idea into practice?
D. Some cyber cafes have been opened in high schools
E. Who suggested the idea?
F. What can students do in the cyber cafe?
1.
Cyber Cafe computer centers are found in many cities around the world. Now, a few American high schools are
opening these centers. For example, a high school in the state of Maryland began operating a Cyber Cafe last March. All
students at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Bethesda can use the Cyber Cafe.
2.
School officials say it especially helps students who have no computer or cannot use the Internet at home. The
officials say 13 percent of the students at the school are from poor families. Many students have arrived in the United States
from other countries only recently. Students in the school's program for learning English speak 23 other languages.
3.
The idea for a Cyber Cafe at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School began three years ago.
At that time, officials were planning to restore the school building. Parents interested in technology proposed a Cyber Cafe
even though schools in the area had suffered budget cuts, so that all students would have the best chances to learn.
4.
Officials in the area supported the idea. So did an organization called the Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School
Educational Foundation. The foundation includes parents, teachers, former students, and business community and other
leaders. Over two years, the foundation collected money for a Cyber Cafe and other new computers. It received more than
$$170,000.
5.
The Cafe now has 16 computers, a printer and a scanner. School official Ann Hengerer says students use the Internet to
complete research. They also write homework and required papers on the computers. In addition, they can send and receive
electronic mail. That is especially helpful for the many students who have family members in other nations. The Cyber Cafe
also serves a social purpose. Visitors can stop by for a drink of coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
Dieting
Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from this list for each paragraph of the passage. Note
that there is one extra heading.

A. Being on a diet is a torture (折磨)
B. I feel better with vegetarian food
C. I lost weight after dieting
D. I began dieting for the sake of health
E. Dieting simply causes endless worries
F. Dieting does more harm than good to one's health

You can always recognize dieters from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their
noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to
weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, big bellies and
double chins. How miserable dieters are!
7.
I began making some dietary and lifestyle changes during my second year of college and have been eating this way ever
since. I like the way I feel when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them. I
have much more energy; I need less sleep; I feel calmer; I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how
much I eat, and I can think more clearly.
8.
During my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin (标
枪). For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that I was in good shape since that's what I
weighed in college. Now that I've lost all that extra weight, I feel great! People say all the time,
eating cheeseburgers or this or that?
9.
All the horrible things you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied. A complete food it may be, but not
quite as complete as juicy steak. So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation. How miserable to watch
others tucking into piles of mouth-watering food while you eat a water biscuit (薄脆饼干) and sip unsweetened lemon juice!
And if hunger just proves too much for you, in the end you will devour (狼吞虎
咽) five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting (一口气). Then things will turn out to be even worse.
10.
I went on diet when my doctor told me that my blood pressure tended to be high. Only at that time did I realize the danger of
being overweight. Since I began making dietary changes in 1982, eating this way has become increasingly accepted. I don't
feel I've lost something after dieting. Instead, I've got something valuable. That is good health.
