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.”

5．I was born under the Blue Ridge，and under that side which is blue in the evening light，in a wild land of game and forest and rushing waters．There，on the borders of a creek that runs into the Yadkin River，in a cabin that was chinked with red mud，I came into the world a subject of King George the Third，in that part of his realm known as the province of North Carolina．
The cabin smelt very strongly of corn-pone and bacon，and the odor of pelts．It had two shakedowns（临时床铺），on one of which I slept under a bearskin．A rough stone chimney was raised outside，and the fireplace was as long as my father was tall．There was a crane in it，and a bake kettle； and over it great buckhorns held my father's rifle when it was not in use．On other horns hung jerked bear's meat and venison hams，and gourds for drinking cups，and bags of seed，and my father's best hunting shirt； also，in a neglected corner，several articles of woman's clothing．These once belonged to my mother．Among them was a gown of silk，of a fine，faded pattern，which I always wondered．The women at the Cross-Roads，twelve miles away，were dressed in coarse butternut wool and huge sunbonnets．But when I questioned my father on these matters he would give me no answers．
My father was-how shall I say what he was？To this day I can only surmise many things of him．He was a Scotchman born，and I know now that he had a slight Scotch accent．At the time of which I write，my early childhood，he was a frontiersman and hunter．I can see him now，with his hunting shirt and leggins （绑腿） and moccasins（莫卡辛鞋）； his powder horn，engraved with wondrous scenes； his bullet pouch and tomahawk and hunting knife．He was a tall，lean man with a strange，sad face．And he talked little except when he drank too many"horns，"as they were called in that country．These little bad behaviors of my father's were a permanent source of wonder to me-and，I must say，of delight．They occurred only when a passing traveler who hit his fancy chanced that way，or，what was almost as rare，a neighbor．Many a winter night I have lain awake under the skins，listening to a flow of language that held me spellbound，though I understood scarce a word of it．P．F．Productions
"Virtuous（有德行的） and vicious（罪恶的） every man must be，
Few in the extreme，but all in a degree．"
The chance neighbor or traveler was no less struck with wonder．And many the time have I heard the query，at the Cross-Roads and elsewhere，"Whar Alec Trimble got his larnin'？"
 
70．The mention of the dress in the second paragraph is most likely meant toC．
A．show the similarity between its owner and other members of the community
B．show how warm the climate was
C．show the dissimilarity between its owner and other members of the community
D．give us insight into the way most of the women of the region dressed
71．Judging by the sentences surrounding it，the underlined word"surmise"in the third paragraph most nearly meansD．
A．to form a negative opinion          
B．to praise
C．to desire                       
D．to guess
72．Why did the narrator enjoy it when his father drank too many"horns，"or drafts of liquor？A
A．The father spoke brilliantly at those times．
B．The boy was then allowed to do as he pleased．
C．These were the only times when the father was not abusive．
D．The boy was allowed to sample the drink himself．P．F．Productions
73．What is the meaning of the lines of verse （诗句） quoted in the passage？B
A．Men who pretend to be virtuous are actually vicious．
B．Moderate amounts of virtuousness and viciousness are present in all men．
C．Virtuous men cannot also be vicious．
D．Whether men are virtuous or vicious depends on the difficulty of their circumstances．

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again,  1 . Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously.  2 , he really means that he does not give it enough opportunities to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of two people, one of whom exercise his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.
If a friend complains that his arms are weak,  3 . But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means—practice.
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can?  4 ? Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember dates, time and prices, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
  5 , learn from the poor; practice remembering.

A．So if you want a good memory

B．When someone else says that his memory is poor

C．When someone else says that he is poor in health

D．Why is this

E. What is this
F. we know that it is his own fault
G. they slowly become strong again

Many animals use some kinds of “language”. They use signals(信号) and the signals have meanings. For example, 1 a bee has found some food, it goes 　2 its home. 　3　 is difficult for a bee to tell 4 bees where the food is speaking to them, but it can do a little dancing. This tells the bees where the food is and 　5 it is.

Some animals show 　6 they feel by making sounds. It is not difficult to tell if a dog is angry because it barks. Birds make several different sounds and 　7 has its meaning. Sometimes we humans make sounds in the same way. We make sounds like “Oh” to 　8 how we feel about 9 or we 　10 something on our feet.

We humans have languages. We have words. These words have meaning of things, action, feeling or ideas. We are able to 11 each other information, to tell other people 12 we think or we feel. By writing down words, we can remember what has happened or 13 messages to people far away.

Languages, like people, live and die. If a language is not used by people, it is called a dead language. This language cannot live and grow because 　14 speaks it.

A living language, of course, is often spoken by people today. It grows and changes with time. New words are created, and some old words have 　15 meanings.

 If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak; and when you start using them again, they will slowly become strong again.       knows this, but nobody would think of      the fact.

Yet there are many people who        to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that       has a good memory, he       means that he keeps his memory in practice      exercising it very     , either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is      , he means that he does not give it enough       to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of       people, one of      exercises his arms and legs by playing ball, while the other       in a chair or a car all day. If a friend of yours says that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own       , But if he tells us that he has a poor memory,       of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just      , and few of us realize that it is just as it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become very strong in body or very clever in mind,       all of us can improve our strength and our memory by the same means that      .

Have you ever       that people who cannot read or write usually have       memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because they cannot write down something in a little notebook or something else. They have to remember names, places, songs and stories; so their memory is always being exercised.
