Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question.( 2đ)
Computer programmer David Jones earns £ 35, 000 a year designing new computer games, yet he can`t find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18.
The 16-year-old boy works for a 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 expanding home computer market each month.
But David`s highest headache is what to do with his money. Despite his salary, earned by inventing new programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments and profit-sharing, he can`t drive a car, take out a mortage, or obtain credit cards. He lives with his parents in their council house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His company has to pay £150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David can`t drive.
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 added:" I would like to earn a million and suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear,"
