问题     Computer programmer Brendan Tammy earned ￡55000 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 car, 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 55000 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 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. "
He left school after taking six O-levels because ______.
选项 A、he was afraid that the market might disappear
B、he did not enjoy school at all
C、he wanted to work on computers
D、he wanted to become a millionaire and retire early
答案C
解析 推断题。文章第三段指出Brendan Tammy退学的事实，而在第五段用直接引语说明了他退学的原因：学校不教电脑课程，他用业余时间学了4年电脑，他知道自己想干什么，从未考虑过待在学校里继续学习。综合起来可以推知，他是因为想从事电脑工作才退学的，因为在学校他学不到自己想学的电脑知识，故答案是[C]。有些考生选了[B]，但这只是可能的一种原因，并不是他退学的直接原因。
