B

When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.

The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her morn," I don't know how to use a computer," she admits.

Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an

award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says."I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."

But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up--again---and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.

Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be."

61. Why did Mary feel regretful?

A. She didn't achieve her ambition.

B. She didn't take care of her mother.

C. She didn't complete her high school.

D. She didn't follow her mother's advice.

第4题:

I was 15 when I met my first real teacher, Mrs Geurin. I didn’t know her well at the time but I thought I hated her.In her first class, she asked us to write a piece about an influencial person, place or memory. I chose to write my lake house, a topic I had already written about and received a vast amount of praise for. Put simply, it was the place that my parents met and fell in love.This teacher knew about my original piece and she was not happy. Throught the school year,we would pass each other in the hall, never saying a word to each other.It was not until February of 2012 that we spoke at the most unusual of places, my father’s funeral. At first, I was angry that she showed up. Did she even care? She didn’t even know him! I stood, watching her give a deep bow to my father’s coffin, completely confused!It was not until she approached me that I realized she was crying even harder than I was.“Kali,” she said, “I am so sorry. My own father passed away just three weeks ago, and I completely feel your pain.” I was shocked. I understood that she had also lost her father, but I didn’t see the connection between us just yet. She had rejected my writing. That was not something that I was willing to so early forgive.A couple of weeks later, she went into my study hall and placed an envelope on my desk.In the letter, she told me her father, also had cancer, also passed away in six months’ time and he was her best friend too. It was not just this letter, but this act of kindness that taught me my,greatest life lesson. Losing has taught us both how to appreciate life. For that lesson, I am always grateful.

第6题:

4 Assume today’s date is 5 February 2006.

Joanne is 37, she was born and until 2005 had lived all her life in Germany. She recently married Fraser, aged 38,

who is a UK resident, but who worked briefly in Germany. They have no children.

The couple moved to the UK to live permanently on 9 October 2005. Joanne was employed by an American company

in Germany, and she continued to work for them in the UK until the end of November 2005. Her earnings from the

American company were £5,000 per month. Joanne has not remitted any of the income she earned in Germany prior

to her arrival in the UK.

Joanne resigned from her job at the end of November 2005. The company did not hold her to the three months notice

stipulated in her contract, but still paid her for that period. In total, Joanne paid £4,200 in UK income tax under PAYE

for the tax tear 2005/06.

Joanne also wishes to sell the shares she holds in a German listed company. The shareholding cost the equivalent of

£3,500 in September 1986, and its current value is £21,500. She intends to sell the shares in March 2006 and to

invest the proceeds from the sale in the UK. Joanne has made no other capital disposals in the year.

Prior to her leaving employment, Joanne investigated the possibility of starting her own business providing a German

translation service for UK companies, and took some advice on the matter. She paid consultancy fees of £5,000

(excluding value added tax (VAT)) and bought a computer for £2,000 (excluding VAT), both on 23 October 2005.

Joanne started trading on 1 December 2005. She made sales of £2,000 in December, and estimates that her sales

will rise by £1,000 every month to a maximum of £7,000 per month. Joanne believes that her monthly expenses of

£400 (excluding VAT) will remain constant. Her year end will be 31 March, and the first accounts will be drawn up

to 31 March 2006.

Although Joanne has registered her business for tax purposes with the Revenue, she has not registered for VAT and

is unsure what is required of her in this respect.

Required:

(a) State, giving reasons, whether Joanne will be treated as resident or non-resident in the UK for the year of

assessment 2005/06, together with the basis on which her income and gains of that year will be subject to

UK taxation. (3 marks)


正确答案:
(a) Joanne will be treated as UK resident from the day she arrives in the UK, as she has stated her intention to move permanently
to the UK. Her income from this point will be taxable in the UK, although she will receive a full personal allowance
(unapportioned) for the year. Income earned in the UK will be taxable, but income earned abroad in Germany will not be
taxed unless it is remitted to the UK.
Although Joanne is UK resident, she is not UK domiciled. Thus, while capital gains on UK assets will be taxable, gains on
assets held overseas are taxable only to the extent that the proceeds of the sale are remitted to the UK. As Joanne intends to
remit the proceeds from selling her shares in Germany, the gain will be taxable in the UK.
