It is often difficult for a man to be quite sure how much tax he ought to pay to the government because it depends on so many different things; whether the man is married; how many children he has; whether he supports any relatives; how much he earns; how much interest he receives; how much he has spend on his house during the year, and so on, All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is. But a certain artist was always very careful to pay proper amount.
One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work with a pencil and paper, he decided that he had not.
He was just writing another check to send to the tax-collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it, the artist found inside it a check for five pounds from the tax-collector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer.
The artist was not only surprised, but he was worried. He therefore wrote to the official and said, “I thank you for your check for five pounds, but I think that, if you study the figures again, you will find that a mistake has been made.”
Several weeks later he received another check from the tax-collector, but this check was for forty-five pounds. The official said that he was sorry about the mistake, and hoped the matter was now settled.
1．According to the passage, the artist wrote to the tax-collector ________.
[ ]
A．to say sorry and admit his mistake
B．to say thanks and pointed out that the collector had made a mistake
C．to pay for the money he should have
D．to pay for the money he owed to the government
2．“Difference was now returned to the taxpayer,”“Difference” here means ________.
[ ]
A．extra money
B．reward
C．money for encouragement
D．payment
3．What's the title of the passage?
[ ]
A．Heavy Taxation
B．Surprised Taxpayer
C．Relation Between a Taxpayer And a Tax-collector
D．A Tax-collector's Job
4．From this passage, the author suggests that ________.
[ ]
A．an artist is always honest
B．a tax-collector is always careless
C．a. man should know how much the tax he ought to pay to the government exactly
D．tax is so difficult to deal with that even the tax-collector makes a mistake about it
