问题     Computer programmer Brendan Tammy earned ￡55 000 a year by designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a check card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18.
    He works for a small company in Liverpool, where most young people of his age are looking for jobs. Brendan’s biggest headache is how to use his money. Though he has high payment, he cannot drive a ear, or get credit cards.
    Brendan got his job four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels (普通考试科目) and working for a time in a computer shop. "I got the job because the people who run the company knew I had already written some programs," he said.
    "I suppose 55 000 pounds sounds a lot but 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 as he lives with his parents. But most of his spare time is spent working.
    "Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But 1 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. 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."
选项 A、He earns an extremely high payment.
B、He has got a job.
C、He lives at home with his parents.
D、He does not go out much.
答案A
解析 文章第一段首先指出，电脑程序员Brendan Tammy每年挣55 000英镑，但却找不到银行给他发银行卡，还得等两年直到他满18岁。在第二段里，文章又指出他尽管工资高，却无法开车、获得信用卡。由作者使用的语气与常识可知；Brendan Tammy与其他年轻人不同、因而值得作者来介绍其情况的原因就是他未成年就能挣那么多的工资，故答案是[A]其余三项都只是文中提到的事实，但它们表示的情况在其他年轻人身上也可能有。
