The spectacular Victoria Falls links two countries, Zimbabwe and Zambia．It was discovered by David Livingstone in November 1855 and is known in the local language, as Mosi-oa-tunya, “the smoke that thunders”．It was Livingstone who named Victoria Falls after his Queen and stated in his own famous diary entry--- “Angels in their flight must have gazed．”
Adventure sports and a range of accommodation
The rustic（乡村的）Victoria Fall town--- just ten minutes from the Fall, and on the outskirts of the Zambezi National Park--- has all facilities necessary to act as a base for exploring the region．Accommodation is plentiful--- from low budget campsites to luxury hotels．
And across the border in Livingstone, Zambia, visitors will find a town suitable for the adventure sports enthusiasts with lots of travel and adventure sports companies．
Victoria Bridge--- the third highest Bungee jump in the world
At a height of 364 feet, the Victoria Falls Bridge, completed in 1905, is the world’s third highest Bungee jump, though the scream factor is arguably the loudest, making it a great draw-card for adventure sports enthusiasts．While dropping into the abyss (深渊), you will be blasted with spray from the thundering Victoria Falls, and then jerked (猛烈) back to reality within inches of the swirling eddies (漩涡) of the Zambezi below．
How to enjoy the Victoria Falls Experience--- take to the sky’s and the water
Anyone can pay an entrance fee and walk around the ridge of Victoria Falls and take some good pictures to send home, but to truly experience the size and scope of the spray, you’ve got to get airborne, and there are options--- tame and a little wild: fixed wing planes, helicopters, microlights．
River Rafting, in many shapes and sizes, is conducted on both sides of the Zambezi River, in Zimbabwe and Zambia below Victoria Falls．

［1］Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict”. He jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled”. Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and sports shirt to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever”. David says, “And I need to feel comfortable”.

[ 2 ]More and more companies are allowing their office workers to in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday. This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.

[ 3 ]Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “Many young people don’t want to dress up for work”, says the owner of a software company, “So it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code”. Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employees’ motivation. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day”, one person said, “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes”.

Computer programmer David Jones makes 35,000 pounds a year designing 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 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 a quite short period of time, the bonus payments and profit-sharing (奖金和分红), 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 35,000 pounds 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 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 know 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.”

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

A. He earns a very high salary. B. He has not a job.

2.David’s greatest problem is ____________.

C. he worked very hard D. he had learned 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 start computing

D. he wanted to earn a lot of money

5.Why does David think he might retire early?
