1Choose 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.
1._______had the highest income in 2008.

4.The Obamas have given_______ percent of their earnings to charity.
A. 10 B. 6.5 C. 9.7 D. 4.3
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.

Here's a good way to find out where you need the most improvement: check your report card. Don't just look at the 1 . Check the comments your teachers write about each 2 . Very often when students 3 report cards, they check their marks very quickly. Then they stop 4 and put them away. However, this is not right. Your report cards may 5 comments from each teacher. These comments are more useful than the grades. Not all comments by teachers are useful. Some have a common 6 of how the class has studied in the 7 term.There may be only a few 8 on your own work, and sometimes such comments are mainly written about which sometimes teachers' 9 comments are written in a kind of secret code (代码) that I 10 "report-speak". For example, "George has a good understanding of…" It 11 good. But in fact, a "good" understanding may be the third, or fourth best result below "excelent" and "very good". 12 you realize this, "good understanding" isn't so good any more. Because comments on the reportcard don't 13 have the information you're looking for, the 14 way to discover where you most need to improve is to ask your teachers 15 if you want to use your report card better. | ||||
