It is often difficult for a man to be quite sure what tax he ought to pay to the government because it depends on so many different things; whether the man is married; how many children he has; whether he supports any relations; how much he earns; how much interest he receives; how much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on and so forth. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is.
There was a certain 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 decided that he had not. He believed that he owed the government something.
He was just writing another check to send 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.
After a lot of work,the artist thought that he had paid the government______.
选项
A、less tax than he should have
B、more tax than he should have
C、as much tax as usual
D、just enough tax
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。题干意为“经过计算后,艺术家认为这次他缴纳的税款如何?”从文章的第三段内容可知,He believed that heowed the government something.根据意思,他认为自己仍欠政府的钱,缴纳的应该比实际缴的多。所以正确的答案为A。
