摘要： Little Joey . A. was clever B. understood what the teacher said C. was not clever enough D. did as what he was told to do E Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. The leading story in tonight’s news concerns the fire which destroyed the major part of Columbia College at 4 a. m. this morning. In only five minutes, more than six hundred girls came out of their dorms to watch their college burn to the ground in the freezing December weather. Fortunately, there were no injuries resulting from the fire. According to the college president, plans are already made to raise more than three million dollars to rebuild the college. Here is the news from Washington. President Clinton says he is troubled by a scientist’s desire to clone a human and is urging Congress to pass a banon such experiments for at least five years. In his weekly radio address, Clinton noted Chicago-area physicist Richard Seed’s announcement that he is ready to set up a clinic to clone human babies. President Clinton said that the need for passing laws that would ban human cloning for at least five years is more urgent than ever. A brief look at the weather for the weekend tells us to expect light showers on Saturday and Sunday. The high Saturday will be in the lower 40’s. On Sunday, we can expect the high to be about 65. That’s this evening’s news. Good night from Channel 9 news. Your better news station, and from Alan King, your reporter.
One day a teacher was giving her young students a lesson on how the government works．She was trying to explain the principle of income tax．
“You see,” she began, speaking slowly and carefully, “each person who works must pay part of his or her salary to the government．If you make a high salary, your taxes are high．If you don’t make much money, your taxes are low．”
“Is that clear?” she asked．“Does everyone understand the meaning of income tax?” The students nodded．
“Are there any questions?” she asked．The students shook their heads．
“Very good,” she said．“Now, I would like you to take a piece of paper and write a short paragraph on the subject of income tax．”
Little Joey was a slow learner．He had lots of problems with spelling and grammar, but this time he at least seemed to understand the assignment．He grabbed his pen and after a few minutes, he handed the teacher the following composition：
Once I had a dog．His name was Tax．I opened the door and in come Tax．
