Almost a decade ago, the federal government dropped $10 million for an Earth-monitoring satellite that never made it into space. Today it sits in a closet in Maryland. Cost to taxpayers for storing it: $1 million a year. And that's just what's hiding in one closet. Who knows what's in the rest of them?
Because we think the government should be held to at least the same standards as a publicly traded company, and because as taxpayers, we're America's shareholders, we performed an audit （财务检查）of sorts of the federal books. We're not economists, but we do have common sense. We tried to get help from Congressional staffers from both parties, as well as various watchdog groups and agencies. In the end, we found that the federal government wastes nearly $1 trillion every year.
That's roughly equal to the amount collected annually by the Internal Revenue Service in personal income taxes. Put another way, it's also equal to about one-third of the country's $2.9 trillion total annual budget. And reclaiming that lost trillion could help wipe out the country's annual budget deficit（赤字）, improve education, and provide health insurance for those who don't have it.
So how do you define "waste"? David Walker of the Government Accountability Office (GAO), a federal watchdog agency, calls it "the government's failure to give taxpayers the most for their money." For our part, we used the kind of household test you would use on a piece of meat sitting in your refrigerator: If it smells rotten, it's waste. Our government regularly pays for products and services it never gets, wildly overpays companies to do things it could do more cheaply itself, loses money outright due to lax（不严格的）accounting and oversight, and spends money randomly on unnecessary programs.
How exactly does the federal government waste your hard-earned tax dollars? We've identified what we consider ten of the worst ways.
【小题1】The underlined sentence in Paragraph1 really means .
| A．there are many other closets | B．there are some other satellites |
| C．there is something else in the closets | D．the waste may be quite amazing |
| A．Annoyed. | B．Calm. | C．Surprised. | D．Not concerned. |
| A．The country’s annual budget is usually decided by the public. |
| B．The government failed in launching the satellite. |
| C．The government is only wasting money in space experiments. |
| D．The amount collected annually in personal income taxes is equal to the country’s budget. |
| A．Protecting Our Rights! |
| B．Our Country Is In Danger! |
| C．The Government Is Wasting Our Tax Dollars! |
| D．How to Prevent Government from Wasting Money! |
| A．The government’s taking some steps to stop wasting taxes. |
| B．Presenting people’s feelings against the government’s wasting taxes. |
| C．Giving suggestion to help the government solve the financial problem. |
| D．Listing how the government is wasting taxes. |

阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E、F)中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. School or work
B. Make small talks
C. Be fun to be around
D. Be reliable
E. Get out and meet people
F. Join people of common interests
In the world, many people want to make friends just as you do. Follow these steps to meet new people and build strong, lasting friendships with at least some of them. The following paragraphs are some steps.
1.. . You don’t necessarily have to have a lot of common interests with people in order to make friends with them—in fact, some of the most rewarding friendships are between two people who don’t have much in common at all, but if you have something in common with people, it can make it a lot easier to talk to them. Whatever your age and whatever your interests, there is a club or an organization for you.
2.. . Friends can talk about just anything, but you don’t want to get too personal when you first meet someone. Just make good, small talks at first.
3.. . You don’t have to be a superstar to be fun. You do need to be positive and friendly, however, so that people feel good when they’re around you. From the very first conversation you have with someone, you should use body language. Smile frequently, laugh often, and make eye contact. In your words, be confident.
4.. .The steps above are great for making acquaintances (认识的人), but how do acquaintances become lifelong friends? One important feature of a good friend is reliability. When you say you’ll do something, do it. Be someone that people know that they can depend on.
5. . If you want to make friends, you first need to meet people. No matter where you live, this should be very easy.
