corresponding letter (A, B, C or D). Mark your choice on the answer sheet.
I am often asked whether we will do anything about the taxes we all have to pay. Of course, what people mean is that they don't
want to pay so much. But, I have to ask in return which services they would like to lose. For we can not expect to have modern
hospitals, well- kept roads, good schools or attractive parks if we are not prepared to pay for these things. Our children do not think
that schools and colleges are only for the sons and daughters of the rich, as once they were. More and more of us are living longer
and longer. We all feel that we should be able to see a doctor when we need to. Old people should not suffer because we are afraid
of the doctor's bill. In our society, we are proud of the fact that no one is asked whether they can pay the bill before they are
allowed into a hospital. But if we want to continue to provide for all the needs of our society, we must remember that nothing in
life is free. My party does not promise to cut taxes immediately. But we do promise to continue all the services that our taxes pay
for, and we hope that we will manage things so well that after a short time some taxes may be reduced.

30. One of these people shares the same ideas as the writer. Whose idea is it?
A. I just don't know where I'm going to find the money I need. There's so much to pay for.
B. The trouble with people nowadays is that they all want something for nothing. They think they should be able to get
whatever they want. But
they don't realise that some one is going to have to pay for it in the end.
C. I know I ought to go and see the doctor, but I don't think I can afford ; it. I know he will tell me to buy some medicine, but
