If you make a high salary , your taxes are high. If you don't make much money, your taxes arc low.”“Does it make sense?” she asked. "Does everyone understand the meaning of income tax?” The students nodded.Are there any questions?M she asked.

His spelling and grammar abilityBThough Chinese is older (han English, English is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always making new words and we should be able to know where most words come from.Sometimes, however, no one may really knows where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers arc called hamburgers, especially when they arc not made with ham ? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg.They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some American saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We came from Hamburg. One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of the beef like what the man from Hamburg ate and sold in many countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why a word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. The reason may be found in any large English dictionary.58. Hamburg is .A. a kind of food B. a round piece of beef. C. the name of a village D. a city in GermanyAccording to the story,.A. few Americans like hamburgersB. hamburgers are made with beefC. hamburgers are made with hamD. hamburgers were sold all over the worldabout a century agoAccording to the writer, which of the following can be found in any large English dictionary?

From the passage, we can infer that hamburgers was first sold to the world by .A. Americans B. Germans. C. Chinese D. we don't knowCA new study gives us the warning that about thirty percent of the world's people may not have enough water by the year .A private American organization called Population Action International did the new study. It says more than three-hundred-thirty-five-million people lack enough water now. The people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.P-A-I researcher Robert Enge I man says by the year , about three-thousand-mi 11 ion people may lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems. The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on Earth stays the same.Mr. Engel ma n says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world. He says population growth in these countries will continue to increase.The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking waters not safe. Mr. Engel man says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera, which are carried in water. Lack of water may also result in more international conflict. Countries may have to compete for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan, and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning.The Population Action International study gives several solutions (o the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is (o use less water of agriculture.The report also says long-term solutions to the water problem must include controls on population growth. It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have.66. are expected to have severe water problems by the yearA.
