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. Instead he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18. 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. David’s firm releases 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（抵押貸款）, 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 is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”
1.In what way is David different from people of his age?
A. He often goes out with friends
B. He lives with his mother
C. He has a handsome income
D. He graduated with six O-levels
2.What is one of the problems that David is facing now?
A. He is too young to get a credit card
B. He has no time to learn driving
C. He has very little spare time
D. He will soon lose his job
3.Why did David decide to leave school and start working?
A. He received lots of job offers
B. He was eager to help his mother
C. He lost interest in school studies
D. He wanted to earn his own living

Do you have any problem with time? Start doing these and you will see the difference.
●Write it down
Don’t rely on your memory to keep track of every little detail. 1. Write down the things you need to do in a small notebook, or use online tool to create and update your “to-do” list.
● 2.
Working for long periods without a break can waste your time. It is more efficient to work or study for a shorter period of time, take a break, and then go back to work. You may get more done in tow focused 45-minute sessions.
● One thing at a time
3. Do one thing at a time, and do it well. As the Chinese proverb says, “One cannot manage too many affairs. Like pumpkins in the water, one pops up while you try to hold down the other.”
● Schedule email time
On your cell phone you get a notification every time someone sends you an email. If so, you have to check your email many, many times a day. 4. Schedule time to check your email. It doesn’t matter when.
● Choose to say “No”.
It’s easy to become overwhelmed if we say “yes” to everything. Think about the task before you commit to it. Do you need to do it? Can someone else do it? Avoid saying “yes” to every request. 5.
● Keep a goal journal
Write down your goals in a journal and evaluate them regularly. Mark your progress for each goal. Be sure you take the necessary step to achieve your goals.
A. Make a list first
B. Don’t skip the breaks
C. Turn that notification off
D. Memory is not always accurate
E. Don’t forget to focus on your task
F. This takes time away from more important tasks
G. Every time we switch from one task to another, we lose focus

After little John version 2.0 was born, Mr. Blake even sent a celebratory e-mail to the family and friends, which was designed to look as if he and his wife had created a new software. “I wrote things like there are a lot of new features from Version 1.0 with additional features from Jamie,” he said.

I’m a student from Chongqing, China. I am write to keep you informing of something about the severe situation that finless porpoises, a kind of rare and lovely animal, are facing with presently.
It’s because of human activities that finless porpoises are endangered. It’s terrible that there are merely less than 1,000 finless porpoises live in China. However, it’s high time that immediate measures must be taken. Don’t you think so? If possible, how I hope you can help us by funding your project aiming at protecting finless porpoises! Under your financial aid, I am convinced fewer finless porpoises will survive. I would appreciate greatly if you could consider my application.
Looking forward to your early reply.
