Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)
Traditionally, the President is the highest-pad public employee. A salary of $ 400,000, along with other benefits, is paid to the President annually. But President Obama’s income for 2008 was far more than that, according to the White House.
The White House recently published the tax returns (纳税申报单)of Obama and Vice –president Joe Biden. Tax returns are reports of tax that a person has to pay. They often include income information used to calculate the tax. In the US, people whose incomes are over a certain amount have to file tax returns(纳税申报)every year. The tax returns of government officials are open to the public. This transparency helps to prevent corruption(腐败)。
From Obama’s tax returns , we can see that the President and first lady President’s two books Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope(《无畏的梦想》). The two books, published in 1995 and 2006,are very popular and have been on the bestseller(畅销书)list for a long time.
The Obama’s income is down from 2007,when they made ＄4.2 million. However, that is still far more than former US President George Bush earned, who reported a total of ＄719,274 for his final year. The Obamas’ income also greatly exceeded(超出)that of Biden, who reported a family income of ＄2269,256.That’s about a tenth of what the Obamas earned. As Vice-president, Biden earns a salary of ＄220,000.US families earn an average income of about ＄50,000.
The Obama’s tax returns also show that together, the President and his wife paid about ＄933,000 in taxes. They gave $172,050 —nearly 6.5 percent of their earnings —to different charity groups. In the US, if a person gives his money to churches and non-profit(非盈利)organizations, the law reduces his or her taxes. This is one reason why rich people in the US like to give money to charity.

【小题1】_______had the highest income in 2008.
A．ObamaB．BidenC．BushD．George
【小题2】How much did Obama and his wife earn in 2008?
A．$400,000B．$2,660,000C．$4,200,000D．$719,274
【小题3】In the US, which people have to file tax returns?
A．Everybody
B．Wealthy people
C．Government officials
D．People whose incomes are over a certain amount.
【小题4】The Obamas have given_______ percent of their earnings to charity.
A．10B．6.5C．9.7D．4.3
【小题5】Why should the tax returns of government officials be open to the public?.
A．Because it can help to prevent corruption
B．Because it can make government officials well-known to the public.
C．Because it can help government officials to get more money.
D．Because the government wants them to pay more taxes to the public.

A．he will be praised by the people
B．he will pay fewer taxes
C．he will be free of taxes
D．he will get some extra money from the government.

Making sense of how the US shows humor

Living in a new country gives me many surprises. The first surprise was the way that the US people speak

One day I saw someone was having a public speech in a square. I thought it would be a serious speech. But I soon found it became a kind of entertainment show.

   The speaker told the audience to protect the environment with humorous words. Later he said some people’s behavior didn’t go with their words. He took the example of Taylor Swift’s song We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.[

   He said that since Swift doesn’t want to be with the boy any more, she doesn’t need to speak it aloud, she doesn’t need to sing unless she still keeps in touch with that guy. It sounds like she is a hypocrite.

   Then he sang the song in a funny way. The audience laughed out loudly. I felt a little angry because Swift is my favourite star. I couldn’t understand why they laughed at Swift.

As time goes on, I find many US people make fun of others. But they don’t mean to hurt them. They do that to show closeness and humour. And people who are laughed at seldom get angry. Now I understand the speaker at the square. Now I’ve got used to the way the US people speak.

   It’s easy to find culture shock when you’re in a new place. But everyone should learn to understand different cultures and customs.
