  Billy is fourteen years old and in the ninth grade. He has a part-time job which gets him up every morning at five o'clock. He is a newspaper boy.

  Each morning, Billy leaves the house at 5:15 to go to the comer where the newspapers are. The newspapers were delivered to the corner by truck at mid-night. He always takes a wagon to carry them.

  In the winter it is still dark when he gets up, but during the rest of the year it is light. Billy must deliver the newspapers to the house of people on his route in all kinds of weather. He tried to put each paper on the porch where it will be protected from wind and rain or snow. His customers think that he does a good job. Sometimes they give him tips (extra money).

  Billy earns about $ 5 per month, and he is saving some of the money to go to college. He spends the rest on records and clothes. Once a month, he has to collect money from his customers. Since many of them work during the day, Billy has to collect the money at night. Sometimes, when Billy is sick, his older brother has to deliver the newspaper. Once, Billy's father had to help.

  Billy has seventy customers now, but he hopes to get more soon. Someday, if he gets many more customers, Billy might win a prize for being an outstanding newspaper boy. He wants to win a trip to Europe, but he will be happy if he wins a new bicycle.

         Computer programmer David Jones makes £35000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot
find a bank prepared to let him have a check card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is
18.
         The 16-year-old works for a small firm (分公司) in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people
of his age is finding a job. David's firm 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, made by inventing new
programs within quite a short period of time, with bonus payments and profitsharing, (奖金和分红) he cannot
drive a car, get some money from a bank to buy a house, or get credit cards (信用卡).
        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 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.
         "I suppose £ 35000 sounds a lot but actually 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 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, any-way."
         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."
1. Why is David different from other young people of his age?
[     ]

[     ]
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 O-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 start computing
D: he wanted to earn a lot of money
5. Why does David think he might retire early?
[     ]

B: He wants to stop working when he is a millionaire
C: He thinks computer games might not always sell so well
D: He thinks his firm might go bad
