填空题{{B}}PART ONE{{/B}} ·Look at the statements below and at the five extracts about taxes． ·Which extract(A，B，C，D or E)does each statement(1-8)refer to? ·For each statement(1-8)，mark one letter(A，B，C，D or E)on your Answer Sheet． ·You Will need to use some of these letters more than once． A．Flat Tax Income tax is a direct tax which is levied on the income of private individuals．There are various income tax systems that exist．ranging frOm a flat tax to an extensive progressive tax systern． A flat tax，also cal led a proportional tax，is a system that taxes．Usual ly the flat tax is proposed to k ick in at a certain income level，or to exempt income below that level，so that the lowest-income members of society don't need to pay income tax． Proposed flat taxes usually allow little or no exemption of earned income besides the bottom-level exemption． Advocates of a flat tax claim that it will end unfair discrimination．They also argue that flat taxes are easier(and cheaper)to administer and comply with than complex，graduated taxes．Most political parties that advocate the introduction of a flat tax are on the right of the pol itical spectrum． B．Progressive Tax A progressive tax，or graduated tax，is a tax that is larger as a percentage of income for those with larger incomes．It is usually applied in reference to income taxes，where people with more income pay a higher percentage of it in taxes．The term progressive refers to the way the rate progresses from low to high． C．Regressive Tax A regressive tax is a tax which takes a larger percentage of income from people whose income is low． A tax which places placesonately more of a burden on those with lower incomes． Regressive taxes，as opposed to progressive taxes，are more burdensome on lower-income individuals than on higher-income individuals and corporations． D．Tax Deduction Within the United States'income tax system，a tax deduction，or" tax-deductible expense" ，is an item which is subtracted from gross income in order to arrive at the taxable income． Effectively，the taxpayer pays no income tax on the amount of money he spent on tax-deductible expenses．For example．if an individual earns$50，000 in a year and gives $5，000 to tax-deductible charities，he will end up paying income tax as though he had earned only$45，000 that year．In this way，the federal and state governments encourage certain types of spending． E．Tax Avoidance and Tax Evasion Tax avoidance is the legal exploitation of the tax regime to one's own advantage，to attempt to reduce the amount of tax that is payable by means that are within the law whilst making a full disclosure of the materialinformation to the tax authorities． Tax evasion，on the other hand，is a crime．Tax evasion usually entails taxpayers deliberately misrepresenting or concealing the true state of their affairs to the tax authorities to reduce their tax liability，and includes，in particular，dishonest tax reporting，such as under-declared income，profits or gains；or overstated deductions．

Yet that's what happened in the tiny village of Carmen. After passing a water well project, they learned the effort had stalled because of engineering mistakes and a lack of money {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}They organized a meeting of the key people involved in the project and volunteered to pay $250 out of their own pockets for additional building materials. Two weeks later the well was completed. Locals would no longer have to walk four miles for drinkable water. And the trainees learned a lesson in collaborative problem-solving. "You motivate people to take the extra step, you created a shared vision, you divide the labor, and the impact can be big", says Erwin van Overbeek, 40, who runs environmental sustainability projects for IBM clients. While saving a village well wasn't part of the group agenda for that trip, it's the kind of experience the architects of IBM's Corporate Service Corps had in mind when they launched the initiative last year. Modeled on the U.S. Peace Corps, the program aims to turn IBM employees into global citizens {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}Those people were then trained and dispatched to emerging markets for a month in groups of 8 to 10 to help solve economic and social problems. The goal, says IBM's human resources chief, is to help future leaders "understand how the world works, show them how to network, and show them how to work collaboratively with people who are far away." Like most corporations, IBM trains managers in classrooms, so this represents a dramatic departure, while other companies encourage employees to volunteer for social service, IBM is the first to use such programs for management training, says Rosabeth Moss Kanter, a professor at Harvard Business School. "This is a big innovation. This kind of active service is a good way to train managers." {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}This year some 500 people will participate, and the list of countries will expand from five to nine, including Brazil, India, Malaysia, and South Africa. The teams spend three months before going overseas reading about their host countries, studying the problems they're assigned to work on, and getting to know their teammates via teleconferences and social networking Websites. On location, they work with local governments, universities, and business groups {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}} Participating in the program is not without its risks. Charlie Ung, a new-media producer from IBM Canada, got malaria while working in Ghana and spent a week in the hospital {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}IBM planners deliberately choose out-of-the-way places and bunk the teams in guest houses that lack such amenities as Western food and CNN. "We want them to have a transformative experience, so they're shaken up and walk away feeling they're better equipped to confront the 21st century." says Kevin Thompson, the IBMer who conceived of the CSC program and now manages it. IBM concedes that one month overseas is a short stint, but it believes participants can pick up valuable lessons. Debbie Maconnel, a 45-year-old IT project manager in Lexington, Ky., says the trip prompted her to change her management style {{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}She used to give assignments to the overseas employees and then leave them on their own. Now she spends more time trying to build a global team. A. The program is growing rapidly. B. It has set up a Peace Corps-like program that aims to turn top management prospects into global players. C. The IBMers decided to do something about it. D. It was coordinated with activities of 13 people in the U.S. and 12 in India, Mexico and China. E. Anything there would be done from upgrading technology for a government agency to improving public water quality. F. Other participants report encounters with wild dogs in Romania. G. Last year, IBM selected 300 top management prospects out of 5,400 applicants. H. Yet that's what happened in the tiny village of Carmen.
