The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job .Davids firm releases（推出）two new games for the fast growing computer market each monthBut Davids 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 cards. 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.”56In what way is David different from people of his age?AHe often goes out with friends BHe lives with his motherCHe has a handsome income DHe graduated with six O-levels57What is one of the problems that David is facing now?AHe is too young to get a credit card BHe has no time to learn drivingCHe has very little spare time DHe will soon lose his job58Why was David able to get the job in the company?AHe had done well in all his examsBHe had written some computer programsCHe was good at playing computer gamesDHe had learnt to use computers at school59Why did David decide to leave school and start working?AHe received lots of job offers BHe was eager to help his motherCHe lost interest in school studies DHe wanted to earn his own livingBWe have met the enemy and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, its hard not to wonder of the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections （感染）we think of as human infections started in other animals” says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.Its not just that were going to where the animals are; were also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksens pets and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea “I dont think its fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them”says Isaksen“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing” says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug（病毒）may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful（有害的）.Monkey-pox doesnt look a major infectious disease But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.60We learn from Paragraph I that the pet sold at the shop may_.Acome from Columbia Bprevent us from being infectedCenjoy being with children Dsuffer from monkey-pox61Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets?AThey attack human beings BWe need to study native animalsCThey cant live out of the rain forestDWe do not know much about them yet62What does she phrase “the wake-up call” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?Aa new disease Ba clear warningCa dangerous animal Da morning call63The text suggests that in the future we .A. may have to fight against more new diseasesB. may easily get infected by diseases from dogsC. should not be allowed to have petsD. should stop buying pests from AfricaCIts not easy being a teenagernor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you youll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving; consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, dont insist he tell you whats on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that hell clam up. Instead , let him attempt to solve（解决）things by himself. At the same time, remind him that youre always there for him ，should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenagers privacy （隐私）. Never read him his mail or listen in on personal conversions.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the familys telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation（节制）. Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part time job64.

Seven years later, with wonderful memories and a book documenting their world travel, the Fishers now seem like global trailblazers (先驱者). “Its really encouraging to hear that many other people want to educate their kids in that manner,” said Fisher.Some parents are trying to raise knowledgeable and open-minded “world citizens”. Others want to give their children the skills theyll need to compete globally. “There is a huge amount of interest in spending time abroad at all stages of life and increasingly, as a family with children,” said Maya Frost, author of “The New Global Student”. She knows American families in every corner of the globe who have made that choice. “Th
