Reading Comprehension (阅读理解)：(共50分)A) Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：(12分)Traditionally, the President is the highest-pad public employee. A salary of $ 400,000, along with other benefits, is paid to the President annually. But President Obamas income for 2008 was far more than that, according to the White House.The White House recently published the tax returns (纳税申报单)of Obama and Vice president Joe Biden. Tax returns are reports of tax that a person has to pay. They often include income information used to calculate the tax. In the US, people whose incomes are over a certain amount have to file tax returns(纳税申报)every year. The tax returns of government officials are open to the public. This transparency helps to prevent corruption(腐败)。From Obamas tax returns , we can see that the President and first lady Presidents two books Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope(无畏的梦想). The two books, published in 1995 and 2006,are very popular and have been on the bestseller(畅销书)list for a long time.The Obamas income is down from 2007,when they made 4.2 million.

They gave $172,050 nearly 6.5 percent of their earnings to different charity groups. In the US, if a person gives his money to churches and non-profit(非盈利)organizations, the law reduces his or her taxes. This is one reason why rich people in the US like to give money to charity.74. _had the highest income in 2008.A. Obama B. Biden C. Bush D. George75. How much did Obama and his wife earn in 2008?A. $400,000 B. $2,660,000 C. $4,200,000 D. $719,27476. In the US, which people have to file tax returns?A. Everybody B. Wealthy people C.
