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 the incomes tax.

For example, a person who earns about ＄3,500 a year, will pay a tax of only about 3.5% of earning, but if the same person earned ＄85,000 a year, he would pay an income tax of 35%.

These are their pets. People love these pets and regard them as their good friends. Before they keep them at their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them needles so that they won’t carry disease(疾病). They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s homes, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. Y ou will also find almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animals in Canada. They have a law against killing wild(野生的) animals.
