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. "
Why does Brendan think he might retire early?
选项 A、He think computer games might not always sell so well.
B、He wants to stop working when he is a millionaire (百万富翁).
C、One has to be young to write computer programs.
D、He thinks his company might close down.
答案A
解析 细节题。答案信息对应于文章最后一句：You never know when the market might disappear(你永远不会知道市场何时消失)，即他对电脑游戏未来的市场情况没有把握，所以才想早早退休。[B]由文章内容无法推知．[C]、[D]在文中都没有提及。
