　　Computer programmer David Jones makes $35,000 a year designing (設(shè)計(jì)) new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a credit card (信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18.

　　The 16-year-old boy works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David's firm (公司) puts two new games on the home market each month. But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money. In spite of his salary (薪水), made by inventing new programs within quite a short period of time, with bonus payments (獎(jiǎng)金) and profit-sharing (分紅), he cannot drive a car, get some money from a bank to buy a house, or get credit cards.

　　He lives with his parents in their house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His firm has to pay $150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive. David got his job with the firm a year after leaving school with six 0-levels and working for a time in a computer shop.“I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,”he said.

　　“I suppose (認(rèn)為) $35,000 sounds a lot but actually (實(shí)際上) that's not good enough. I hope it will come to more than that this year.”He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother $20 a week. But most of his spare time is spent on working.

　　“Unfortunately (不幸的是), computing was not part of our studies at school,”he said.“But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.”

　　David added, “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement (退休) is a possibility (可能性). You never know when the market will disappear.”

1．Why is David different from other young people of his age?

[　　]

A．He earns a very high salary.

B．He has no job.

C．He does not go out much.

D．He lives at home with his parents.

2．David's greatest problem is ________.

[　　]

A．making the banks treat him as a grown-up

B．inventing computer games

C．spending his salary

D．learning to drive

3．He was hired by the firm because ________.

[　　]

A．he had worked in a computer shop

B．he had written some computer programs

C．he works very hard

D．he had learnt to use computers at school

4．He left school after taking six 0-levels because ________.

[　　]

A．he did not enjoy school

B．he wanted to work with computers and staying at school did not help him

C．he was afraid of getting too old to use a computer

D．he wanted to earn a lot money

5．Why does David think he might retire early?

[　　]

A．Because one has to be young to write computer programs.

B．Because a million dollars is enough for him to live a happy life.

C．Because he thinks computer games might not always sell so well.

D．Because he thinks his firm might go bad.

　　If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory(記憶) works in the same way.

　　When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance(機(jī)會(huì)) to become strong.

　　If a friend says that his aims and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(過(guò)錯(cuò)). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受責(zé)備), and few of us know that it is just his own fault.

　　Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook; they have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.

　　So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering.

1．The main reason(主要原因)for one's poor memory is that ________.

[　　]

A．his father or mother may have a poor memory

B．he does not use his arms or legs for some time

C．his memory is not often used

D．he can't read or write

2．If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ________.

[　　]

A．you can't use them more

B．they will become stronger

C．they become weak and won't become strong until you use them again

D．they become weak but they slowly become strong again

3．Which of the following is NOT true?

[　　]

A．Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs.

B．Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice.

C．Don't learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory.

D．A good memory comes from more practice.

4．Some people can't read or write, but they usually have better memory, because ________.

[　　]

A．they have solved much trouble

B．they have saved much time to remember things

C．they have to use their memories all the time

D．they can't write everything in a little notebook

5．Give a best title(標(biāo)題) for this passage.

　　Life used to (過(guò)去) be interesting for teenagers. They used to have money to spend, and free time to spend it in. They used to wear teenage clothes, and meet in teenage coffee bars (咖啡館) and discos (迪斯科舞廳). Some of them still do.

But for many young people, life is harder now. Work is difficult to find. There is not so much money around. Things are more expensive, and it's hard to find a place to live in. Teachers say that students work harder than they used to.

　　They are less interested in politics(政治), and more interested in passing exams. They know that good exam results may get them better work.

　　Most young people worry more about money than their parents did twenty years ago. They try to spend less and save more. They want to be able to get homes of their own one day. For some, the answer to unemployment is to leave home and look for work in one of Britain's big cities.
