【題目】One day a teacher was giving her young students a lesson on how the government works. She was trying to explain the principle(原理) of income tax（所得稅）.“You see,” she began, speaking slowly and carefully, “Each person who works must pay part of his or her salary( 薪水) to the government. If you make a high salary, your taxes are high. If you don’t make much money, your taxes are low.”“Is that clear?” she asked. “Does everyone understand the meaning of income tax?”. All the students nodded.“Are there any questions? ”sheasked. All the students shook their heads.“Very good!”she said. “Now, I would like you to take a piece of paper and write a short composition on the subject of income tax.”

He took his pen and after a few minutes, he handed the teacher the following composition: Once I had a dog. His name was Tax. I opened the door and in come Tax.
