All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is.There was an artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount.One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a pencil and paper, he found that he had not. He thought that he owed the government something.He was just writing another check to send it to the tax collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it, the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax collector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer.11.According to the passage, to decide the exact amount of tax to be paid is ____________.A. simpleB. easyC. difficultD. interesting12.

If someone is called very early in the morning, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call indicates great importance of the matter which requires immediate attention of the person called. The same implication is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 . at night. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s an urgency of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. Time plays a very important role in our social life as you can imagine. In the USA an invitation should be sent to the guests in advance because guests usually believe that they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not always necessarily true of the case all over the world. In some other countries, it may be taken stupid to make an appointment too far in advance because plans made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The concept of time varies in different regions of the world. Thus, misunderstandings are sometimes inevitable between men of different cultural backgrounds that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in America, for example. A lack of promptness is regarded as being impolite or not being fully responsible. In the US it would be incredible to keep a business partner or a guest waiting for an hour, and it would be too impolite and unacceptable by their social etiquettes. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to give some words of explanation to the people waiting, though he might not complete his sentence.16. What is the main idea of this passageA. It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning or in sleeping hours in the US.B. The role of time in social life over the world..C. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible inthe US.D. Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.17. What does it mean according to the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hoursA. A matter of work.B. A matter of life or death.C. You want to see him or her.D. You want to make an appointment with him or her.18. Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friendA. At 7:00 .B. At 4:00 .C. At the midnight.D. At 4:00 .19. Which of the following statements is true according to the passageA. In the USA guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinnerparty is expended only three or four days before the party date.B. There id no misunderstanding between people from different cultures about the conceptof time.C. It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the USA.D. Being on time is highly valued in America.20. From the passage we can infer that ____________.A. it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in daytimeB. the meaning of time differs in different parts of the worldC. it makes no difference in the US whether you are early or late for a business partyD. if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make any explanationIV.
