单元限时训练(一)　A卷 [对应学生用书P123] (限时40分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 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 16­year­old works for a small firm in Liverpool while 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 cards. David got his job with the Liverpool­based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O­levels 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 is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇新闻报道。计算机程序员大卫·琼斯只有十六岁，他收入不菲，文章对他的生活和工作进行了报道。 1．In what way is David different from people of his age? A．He often goes out with friends.
