In most countries, a direct tax on persons, 【57】is called income tax, exists. It is arranged in【58】a way that the poorest people pay nothing, and the【59】of tax grows greater as the taxpayers'【60】grows. In England, for example, the tax on the【61】people goes up as【62】as ninety-five percent!
But countries with direct taxation nearly always have【63】taxation too. Many things【64】into the country have to pay taxes or "duties".【65】, it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops who really have to pay the duties, in the【66】of higher prices. In some countries, too, there is a tax on things sold in the shops. If the most necessary things are taxed, a lot of money is collected, but the poor people suffer【67】If unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed, 【68】money is obtained, but the tax is fairer, as the【69】pay it.
Probably this last kind of indirect tax, 【70】with a direct tax on incomes which is low for the poor and high for the rich, is the best arrangement.

The man was the Greek philosopher, Socrates, and he was condemned for not believing in the recognized gods and for corrupting young people. The second charge stemmed from his association with numerous young men who came to Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him.
Socrates' method of teaching was to ask questions and, by pretending not to know the answers, to press his students into thinking for themselves. His teachings had unsurpassed influence on all the great Greek and Roman schools of philosophy. Yet, for all his fame and influence, Socrates himself never wrote a word.
Socrates encouraged new ideas and free thinking in the young, and this was frightening to the conservative people. They wanted him silenced. Yet, many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily.
Socrates had the right to ask for a lesser penalty, and he probably could have won over enough of the people who had previously condemned him. But Socrates, as a firm believer in law, reasoned that it was proper to submit to the death sentence. So, he calmly accepted his fate and drank a cup of poison hemlock in the presence of his grief-stricken friends and students.
In the first paragraph, the word yet is used to introduce______.
A.contrast
B.a sequence
C.emphasize
D.an example.
Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, which consists of the counties of Devon and Cornwall. The warm Gulf Stream flows across the North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico and makes the coastal regions of the southwest quite warm. Palm trees, bamboo (竹) and many semi-tropical (亚热带的) plants grow well in the southwest of England.Flowers and vegetables ripen(成熟) as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere. Farmers in the area obtain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier. (77) In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest. This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of England's most popular holiday areas.
The distance from the center of England to the south coast is about ________.
A.one hundred miles
B.three hundred miles
C.one hundred and fifty miles
D.six hundred miles

Robin Hood is a familiar figure to most of US.The outlaw who robbed the rich to give to the poor and dwelt with his band of merry followers in Sherwood Forest has long been celebrated in both prose and poetry.On stage and screen,he has fascinated countless generations.Yet behind that popular character lurks a mystery:Wh0,exactly,was Robin Hood?Did he exist at all?The evidence for a real,livin9,breathing Robin Hood is rather weak.Records show that in thirteenth.century,England there were a number of people who answered to his name or to something close to it.Yorkshire birth records note the arrival of a Robin Hood who apparently died in infancy.Also,of Yorkshire was Robyn Hode,a servant to King Edward Ⅱ.The man known as Robert Hude is remembered only through a now almost illegible name on a grave stone.In Sussex,there was also Gilbert Robynhod,a man whose name appears often in the local sheriffs records for nonpayment of debts. Despite careful searches of local records by historians,there is little connecting any of these men to the legendary Robin Hood.Still,there just may be a grain of truth in the legend of Robin and his merry band. In the thirteenth century,England certainly had its share of outlaws.Perhaps the most famous was Hereward the Wake,the last Angl0—Saxon chief to resist the Norman Conquest of 1066.HereWard and countless others rebelled against Norman rule and fled into the thick forests that carpeted the English countryside. Not surprisingly,their adventures formed the basis of numerous stories and songs in which the figure of Robin Hood consistently played a key role.Robin is presence in so many different songs and stories has led to the belief that he probably did exist,although perhaps not in,such heroic form.
It was discovered in Yorkshire birth records that.
A.Robin Hood was once a servant to King Edward II
B.there was a Robin Hood who died when he was a small babv
C.Robin Hood was a name commonly used in thirteenth—century England
D.the name of Robin Hood appeared often in the local sheriffs records
