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. Davids firm puts two new games on the home market each month.But Davids 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 thats 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 C. He does not go out much. D. He lives at home with his parents.2. Davids greatest problem is _.A. making the banks treat him as a grown-upB. inventing computer gamesC. how to deal with his moneyD. learning to drive 3. He was hired by the firm because _.A. he had worked in a computer shopB. he had written some computer programsC. he worked very hardD. he had learned to use computers at school4. He left school after taking six 0-levels because _.A. he did not enjoy schoolB. he wanted to work with computers and staying at school did not help himC. he was afraid of getting too old to start computingD. he wanted to earn a lot of money5. Why does David think he might retire early?A. One has to be young to write computer programs.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.BPeople realize that, although animals may not have the same intelligence as human beings, they are smart enough to learn certain things.Dogs are extremely useful as companions for blind people. When a dog has been properly trained, he will always lead his blind master in the right direction and keep him out of danger. For example, seeing-eye dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming, even if their master ordered them to do so.Horses are also able to learn many things. Horses that are used for guard or police duty must learn never to be frightened of noises, traffic, and other disturbances. Racing horses are able to run much faster than other horses, but they are also quite high strung（易紧张）. Therefore, it is necessary for those people who train them to be very patient(耐心) and understanding.The moving pictures and television can use trained animals too. Some animals, such as monkeys and foxes, are easy to film. All you have to do is make a trail in front of the camera by dragging something that smells good to the animals over the ground. Big animals, such as lions and tigers, can be photographed as they bound happily back to their families and dinner. If a movie actor is nearby, the well-trained animal will pay no attention to him. However, the audience may imagine that the actor escaped a terrible death by the skin of his teeth. 6. Dogs who help blind people must learn . A. to obey all orders B. to obey only safe orders C. never to cross roads D. to cross road when ordered to do so7. Race horses are hard to train because they are . A. faster than other horses B. smaller than other horses C. clever than other horse D. more nervous than other horses8. What does “make a trail” mean here in the last paragraph? A. place something to attract the animal B. give the animal a certain task C. order the animal to do things D. follow the animal to hunt9. Lions can be photographed easily when . A. they are following a trial of something that smells good to them B. they are returning to their families C. they have been trained to work with other animals D. they do not know a movie-actor is nearby10. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Animals can be useful.B. Dangerous wild animals can be trained. C. The well-trained animals can learn the difference between the unwanted people and friends. D. Animals can become interested in their tricks.CCountry music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events-love, sadness, good times, and bad times. It tells real-life, stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more complicated(复杂), it is good to hear music about ordinary people.Country music, sometimes called country-western, comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern Unite States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the west. The singers usually play guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps（军营）in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canadain small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1, 200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English, and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor southerners is now popular all over the world. 11. It can be learned from the passage that country music comes from .

According to several leading educational psychologists(心理学家), this is one of the biggest mistakes which some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parent expects, and will fail. Unrealistic(不现实的) parental expectations can cause great damage to children.However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a sensible (有理智的) way, the child may succeed in doing very well especially if the parents are very supportive (支持的，鼓励的) of their child.Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometres twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michaels mother knows very little about music, Michaels father plays the trumpet (小号) in a large orchestra . However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.Michaels friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to
