Most Americans pay city taxes, state taxes, social security (安全) taxes, sales taxes and the list seems endless. The biggest tax for most Americans is that on the money they earnthe income tax. The personal income tax is called a "progressive tax" because it takes more from those who earn more. For example, a person who earns about 3,500 dollars a year will pay a tax of only about 3.5% of earning, but of the same person earned 85,000 dollars a year, he would pay an income tax of 35%. Over the years the income tax has become more and more difficult for people to understand. Almost one half of all Americans now have to pay experts to prepare their tax reports. In fact, preparing taxes and giving tax advice have become a big industry in America.Why do almost one half of all Americans have to pay experts ABecause the list of taxes seems endless.BBecause they would rather spend their time and energy elsewhere.CBecause they find their knowledge about taxes is so limited that they are unable to write tax report all by themselves.DBecause paying experts to prepare their tax report and asking for tax advice have become very popular. 3.BE/B More than 6000 children were expelled (开除) from US schools last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8. The department gave a report to the expulsions (开除) as saying handguns accounted for 58 percent of the 6093 expulsions in 19961997, against 7 percent for rifles (步枪) or shotguns and 35 percent for other types of firearms. "The report is a clear sign that our nations public schools are cracking down (严惩) on students who bring guns to school," Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a statement. "We need to be tough-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe." In March 1997, an 11 years old boy and 13 years old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14 years old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Dasucah, Kentucky. Most of the expulsions, 56 percent, were from high school, which have students from about age 13. Thirty-four percent were from junior high school and 9 percent were from elementary schools, the report said.The main idea of paragraph four shows us _.
