2012届高考英语二轮专题精品复习资料阅读理解（四十五） 1 Computer programmer David Jones earns ￡ 35,000 a year designing new computer games，yet he cannot find a bank ready 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 16yearold works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David’s firm releases (推出) two new games for the fast growing computer market each month. But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage (抵押贷款), or get credit cars. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-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. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working. “Unfortunately, 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. You never know when the market might disappear.” 【文章大意概括】　本文介绍了16岁的大卫参加了工作以及其所遇到的困难。 1. In what way is David different from people of his age? A. He often goes out with friends. B.
