（A）
Taxes are a big part in the United States. Most Americans pay city taxes, state taxes, social security taxes, sales taxes… and the list seems endless. The biggest tax for most Americans is the incomes tax. The personal income tax is called a “progressive tax”, because it takes more from those who earn most. For example, a person who earns about ＄3,500 a year, will pay a tax of only about 3.5% of earning, but if the same person earned ＄85,000 a year, he would pay an income tax of 35%. Over years the incomes 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 have become a big industry in America.

（B）
Bill Gates is one of the world’s richest men. It is estimated that he earns about US $ 30 million a day. This figure, however, depends upon the value at any time of his computer software company, Microsoft.
Gates established this company with Paul Allen in 1975 while he was still a student at Harvard University. At that time he believed it would not be long before every home had a computer, and that every family would need software. Software is the name given to the programs we use on a computer. The computer itself---the keyboard, monitor and processor---are called hardware.
Gates was born on October 28, 1955 and was already writing computer programs while still at school. In the 8th grade, he wrote a simple mathematical program and a computer version of his favourite board game, Rick, which is about world domination, and that he wants Microsoft to dominate the computer software industry.
In 1994 Gates married Melinda French, an employee at Microsoft. They have one child. Although Melinda no longer works at Microsoft, she spends a lot of time doing charity work and is a member of the board at Duke University from where she graduated with a degree in business.
Apart from Microsoft, Gates is interested in very fast cars and in the charitable organization he has established---the William H. Gates Foundation---in memory of his grandfather. He has already given more than US $ 200 million to this charity, which distributes money to organizations interested in education and the development of new technology.
As president of Microsoft, Gates spends most of his time in meetings with the different teams working on the company’s many programs. He also sends out hundreds of e-mails a day. Anybody who wants to contact Bill Gates can do so on the Internet at

A. Harvard University; when she was 41 B. Duke University; when he was 39
C. Duke University; when she was 39 D. Harvard University; when he was 41

A. makes hardware for his own company B. sells the keyboard, monitor and processor

Shopping Online
Every year, more and more people are using the Internet to shop. That’s because every year more and more people are discovering that shopping on the Internet is fast, easy and safe.
Unlike most stores, the Internet is open 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. You can shop at your convenience, from your home or office.
Purchases made over the Internet are usually cheaper and easier.
Typically the experience goes something like this:
You go to the web site where you plan to make the purchase. You browse just as if you were in a store, then you find what you are looking for. You click on a “link” showing that you wish to purchase the product. You are then changed to a “secure server”. All the information sent out from this point on is encrypted. You will be asked for your name and address… and the address you wish the purchase to be shipped (this could be a gift for someone else!) You will be asked for your credit card number. You will be given several different shopping options. You will be given an opportunity to cancel your order… or proceed with it.
It’s just that easy! The company will notify you by e-mail when the product was shopped and when you should expect to receive it.
We suggest that you take the following precautions before you buy anything over the Internet: Shop with companies you are already familiar with. Make sure the companies’ web site includes a real street address and phone number. Credit card information should only be sent out on “secure servers”.
