A
Computer programmer David Jones earned ￡35, 000 a year 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 firm in Liverpool, where most young people of his age are finding jobs. David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Though he has high payment, he cannot drive a car, or get credit cards(信用卡).
David got his job four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels(一般成绩) 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 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 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 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. 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.”

If Catlin was the painter of the American Indians and Bierstadt the painter of the Rocky Mountains, the artist of the Western cowboys and settlers was Remington. Born in New York, the son of a wealthy publisher, Remington was a boxer and a football player at Yale University — the last man would expect to become the artist of the Old West. But as a boy he loved horses and fed on the journals of some famous writers.
At the age of nineteen, he left college to look for adventures. He traveled from Montana to Texas as a prospector(勘探者). Remington had always been interested in journalism. Now he began to write about and to paint and draw what he saw. The subject of the “Winning of the West” attracted the East. Magazines and newspapers were filled with account of prospectors’ adventures, and of battles with cattle thieves and other outlaws — all the tales that were then news and have become legends since. There were also stories by many other writers. Often these were presented by drawings and paintings from Remington’s hand, but it was as a successful journalist that Remington was a great artist.

36. In his pictures, Remington often painted _______.
A. the prospectors’ stories  B. mountains and rivers
C. horse races                                       D. American Indians
37. From the text, we can learn that Remington based his art on the _______.
  A. stories he had read in the newspaper
  B. things he had seen and experienced
 C. ideas he had learned at Yale University
 D. paintings he had copied from early settlers
38. During his youth, Remington _______.
A. showed his gift as an artist B. was influenced by his father
C. enjoyed sports and reading D. learned journalism at Yale University

A. cowboys in American art history   
B. works of Catlin and Bierstadt
C. the problem of “Winning the West”   
D. magazines about the west

C
American magician David Blaine left the glass box in which he had lived for 44 days without food on October 19. Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which had become one of London’s main tourist attractions.
Looking thinner and darker, 30 year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames(泰晤士河) and immediately sent to hospital. He was then slowly reintroduced to food, a process(过程) doctors said could be life threatening. He had been drinking only water since September 5.
A native of Brooklyn, New York, Blaine first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s. He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends.
Over the last decade Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention.
In 1999, he was buried in a coffin (棺材) for one week and, in 2023, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on the top of a 25-meter pillar(柱子) in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.
“I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they’re able to do what they can do,” he said. “They don’t realize we can survive. The human being is an amazing creation.”
But he seemed to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box. He said that at times he was unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.

Film stars may come and go, but Paul Newman’s career(事业) is long-lasting. Newman has worked in films for 40 years. His most recent one opened in December.

Newman has found success in other aspects(方面) of life. He has been married for 36 years. He took up car racing at the age of 47 and won prizes.
