Passage Four
Every culture and every country in the world celebrates New Year, but not everyone does it the same way. The countries in North America and Europe welcome New Year on January the first. This practice began with the Romans in the Middle East, New Year is when spring begins. People in China and Vietnam celebrate it on the first day of the Spring Festival, which is the first day of their calendar based on the moon. Rosh Hashana, which is the Jewish (犹太人的) New Year, comes at the end of summer. The Hindus (印度教教徒 ) in India celebrate the first day of each season, so they have four New Years.
In all these cultures, there is a practice of making noise. People made noise in ancient times to drive away the evil spirits (妖精) from their homes. Today making noise is more of a custom than a religious rim
In the United States, many people stay up until midnight on New Year's Eve to watch the clock pass from one year to the next. Friends often gather together at a party on New Year's Eve, and when the new year comes, all ring bells, blow' whistles, sing songs, and kiss each other. A favorite Scottish song which everyone sings together is Auld Lang Sync. The words tell of old friends and good times.
In all cultures, New Year's Day is a time when people think of new beginnings. They want to make the coming year better than the last one. Many people in the United States make New Year resolutions.

第4题:
Valmont owns 98% of the stock of Barnes Corporation, a manufacturer. During the current year, Barnes has operating income of $64,000, interest income of $10,000 from investments, and passive losses from investments in limited partnerships of $20,000. Barnes Corporation pays $12,000 in dividends. What is Barnes' taxable income for the current year?()
A.$34,000
B.$48,600
C.$54,000
D.$62,000
E.$74,000
答案:E
解析:原句句意为瓦尔蒙特拥有制造商巴恩斯公司98%的股份。本年度,巴恩斯的营业收入为64000美元,投资利息收入为10000美元,有限合伙企业投资的被动损失为20000美元。巴恩斯公司支付12000美元的股息。巴恩斯当年的应税收入是多少?由应税收入的定义得,应税收入,即生产、经营、服务收入,是指纳税人的商品(产品)销售收入、劳务服务收入、营业收入、工程价款结算收入、工业性作业收入以及其他业务收入,所以应税收入为64000+10000=74000美元
