Business corporations, like individuals, must pay taxes on their income In 1966 the corporation income tax provided 23 percent of all government receipts. By 1983 the figure had dropped to 6.2 percent, but by 1987 it climbed to 10.2 percent.

Not only must the company pay taxes on its profits, but individual shareholders(股东) must also pay personal income taxes on dividend(红利) income. The small stockholder has been given some relief by the provision allowing taxpayers to deduct(扣除) the fist $100 they receive in dividends from their personal income.

Headphones used with MP3 digital music players like the iPod may interfere with heart pacemakers(起搏器) and implantable defibrillators(除颤器), U. S. researchers said.
The MP3 players themselves posed no threat to pacemakers and defibrillators, used to normalize heart rhythm. But strong little magnets inside the headphones can confuse the devices if placed within 1. 2 inches of them, the researchers told an American Heart Association meeting in New Orleans.
Dr. William Maisel of the Medical Device Safety Institute in Boston led a team that tested eight models of MP3 player headphones in 60 defibrillator and pacemaker patients.
They placed the headphones on the patients’ chests, directly over the devices. The headphones interfered with the heart devices in about a quarter of the patients--14 of the 60--and interference was twice as likely in those with a defibrillator than with a pacemaker.
Another study presented at the meeting showed that cell ph
A. never use MP3 digital music players
B. not use MP3 headphones
