听力原文:W: Hello, Sam. You seem to be worried.
M: Well, (19) I can't make up my mind which university to attend.
W: What are the choices you have in mind?
M: State University and Wales College.
W: You seem to have doubts about the State University. But its Engineering Department has a great reputation. What else could an engineering major want?
M: Yeah, actually they can offer me scholarship as well. (20) But a friend told me that first year there can be as many as a hundred students for some lectures. You probably wouldn't have any chance to get to know any of your teachers.
W: Well, those classes also have small discussion sections. They meet twice a week, have no more than twenty students.
M: I know. But I've also heard that they are usually taught by graduate students. (21) At Wales College all classes are taught by professors.
W: Do you prefer a small town like Wales? Or the biggest cities like the state capital?
M: That doesn't matter to me. What I do care about is getting individual attention from the teachers.
W: It sounds to me that you're leaning toward Wales College?
M: I am. The only problem is that the Wales College's tuition is really high and I don't think I can afford it.
W: (22) You could apply for a student loan or sign up for a work-study program.
M: Yeah, I think I'll look into that.

W: What about studying? Do you prefer a small town like White Stone or a bigger place like the state capital?
M: That doesn't matter to me. What I do care about is getting individual attention from the faculty and making friends.
W: Look, I've known you for four years now, and you seem to be a pretty out-going person. I don't think yon'Il have any trouble making friends at State University. It sounds to me like you are leaning toward White Stone though.
M: I am. The only problem is that the white Stone's tuition fee is really high and I'm not sure I can afford it.
W: You could still apply for a student loan or sign up for a work-study program.
M: yeah, I think I'll look into that.

W: I finished it, but I ended up changing the topic.
M: Hmm, what did you finally come up with?
W: Well, I decided that state taxation was too large of an issue, so I focused on a single state. It turned out that one state stood out from the others in terms of taxes.
M: Which one was that?
W: Alaska. Alaska is the only state that pays its citizens instead of taking taxes from them.
M: What? The people in Alaska are paid by the government?
W: That's right. Since the discovery of oil there in the 1970's, there has been enormous amounts of money spent by corporations in order to take out the oil and the state charges the companies such large taxes that the state government typically has budget surpluses.
M: But other states have industries too. They don't pay the people tax money.
W: Yes, but in proportion to the amount of people living in the state, Alaska receives an extremely high amount of taxes from its industries. In order to correct the budget surplus,it was decided that the people who lived there would get the money back.
M: Wow, maybe I should move to Alaska.
W: Not so fast, the money only goes to people who have lived there for at least ten years. By the time you live there that long, there might not be any money left.

B.The state of Texas.

Taxes (税) are a big part in the United States. 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 earn—the 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.
Most Americans pay______.
A.taxes which are too many to list
B.taxes either to the cities or the states they live in
C.so many kinds of taxes that they even don't know the names
D.several kinds of taxes
