Computer programmer David Jones earns
£
35,000 a year designing new computer games,
yet he cannot 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 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 expanding
home computer market each month.
But David's biggest 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 cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage, 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 cannot 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 1 had already written some programs," he said.
"I suppose
£
35,000 sounds a lot but actually that's being pessimistic. 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

Most young couples have meals regularly in their parents’ home with little or no pay, and
give their children to the care of old couple free of charge. Investigations have shown that parents of
many couples don’t mind providing meals and caring for their children. However, this practice
shouldn’t become an accepted social custom.
The old couples’ expense on food has already increased while young couples spend more on
clothing and furnishing and less on food. If this trend continues, many young couples might take
these privileges for granted and become more dependent.
It is not the right for young peoples to make the use of the old couples’ love, not only because
our nation is well – known for its special respect paid to the elderly , but also because the young
must become independent. What young people should do is to become more considerate towards
their old parents.
After years of hard work, they are worthy of such consideration.

There was little in his childhood background (4…) the remarkable prestige that Confucius (42…… )
achieved. He was born in a small principality in northeastern China, was reared in poverty and had no formal
education. Through diligent study, however, he educated himself and became a learned man. For a while he
held a minor government post; but he soon resigned that position and spent most of his life as a teacher.
Eventually, his most important teaching were gathered together into a book, the Analects, (43- ________) by
his disciples.
The two cornerstones of his system of personal conduct were Jen and Ii. Jen might be defined
(44… ) ‘benevolent concern of one’s fellow men.’ Li is a term less easily translated: it combines the notion
of iquette, good manners, and due concern and virtue rather than wealth (and in his personal life he seems to
have acted on that principle). (45- _____), he was the first major philosopher to state the Golden Rule, which
he phrased as ‘Do not do unto others that which you would not have them do unto you.’
