READING
Question 1-10
Robert Capa is a name that has for many years been synonymous with war
photography. Born in Hungary in 1913 as Friedmann Endre Erno, Capa was
forced to leave his native country after his involvement in anti government
4 protests. Capa had originally wanted to become a writer, but after his arrival in
Berlin had first found work as a photographer. He later left Germany and
moved to France due to the rise in Nazism. He tried to find work as a freelance
journalist and it was here that he changed his name to Robert Capa, mainly
8 because he thought it would sound more American.
In 1936, after the breakout of the Spanish Civil war, Capa went to Spain
and it was here over the next three years that he built his reputation as a war
photographer. It was here too in 1936 that he took one of his most famous
12 pictures, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier. One of Capa’s most famous quotes
was ‘if your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.’ And he
took his attitude of getting close to the action to an extreme. His photograph,
The Death of a Loyalist Soldier is a prime example of this as Capa captures
16 the very moment the soldier falls. However, many have questioned the
authenticity of this photograph, claiming that it was staged.
Capa died as he had lived. After promising not to photograph any more
wars, he accepted an assignment to go to Indochina to cover the first
20 Indochina war. On May 25th 1954 Capa was accompanying a French regiment
when he left his jeep to take some photographs of the advance and stepped on
a land mine. He was taken to a nearby hospital, still clutching his camera, but
was pronounced dead on arrival. He left behind him a testament to the horrors
24 of war and a standard for photojournalism that few others have been able to
reach. Capa’s legacy has lived on though and in 1966 his brother Cornell
founded the International Fund for Concerned Photography in his honor. There
also a Robert Capa Gold Medal, which is given to the photographer who
28 publishes the best photographic reporting from abroad with evidence of
exceptional courage. But perhaps his greatest legacy of all are the haunting
images of the human struggles that he captured.

Question 11-20
The complicated nature of the individual income tax imposes costs not only
on taxpayers, who expend time and money preparing and filing their returns,
but also on the Internal Revenue Service, which has to audit those returns and
4 deal with the inevitable mistakes taxpayers make.Various steps to simplify the
income tax could reduce costs significantly for both taxpayers and the lRS.
There, at least, two models of tax.
Modify or repeal the alternative minimum tax is originally designed to
8 ensure that high-income taxpayers pay at least some income tax, the
alternative minimum tax (AMT) now affects 4 million households, most of
whom already pay significant amounts of income tax and are far from the top
of the income distribution. Only annual congressional patches to the AMT
12 have kept it from affecting millions more taxpayers. Modifying the AMT to
permanently limit the reach would maintain some of its revenue stream while
protecting most taxpayers from the tax, but would not make the tax system
simpler for those still subject to it.
16 Eliminating or aligning income limits and phase-outs is a model in which
many features of the tax code are denied to some higher-income taxpayers or
phase out over different ranges of income. These features complicate tax
returns and require multiple worksheets to calculate taxable income,
20 deductions, and credits. Eliminating such restrictions would simplify tax
filing, but the benefits would go to higher-income taxpayers. Retaining these
income limits but setting them at the same or similar levels, at least for related
activities, would reduce complexity while keeping the benefits aimed at
taxpayers with low to moderate incomes. At the same time, however, if
25 multiple benefits phased out over the same income range, effective marginal
tax rates in that range could reach unacceptable levels.

A. The obligation of taxpayers.
