       庆历中,有布衣毕昇,又为活板。其法用胶泥刻字,薄如钱唇,每字为一印,火烧令坚先设一铁板,其上以松脂、蜡和纸灰之类冒之。欲印,则以一铁范置铁板上,乃密布字印,满铁范为一板,持就火炀之;药稍熔,则以一平板按其面,则字平如砥。若止印三二本,未为简易;若印数十百千本,则极为神速。常作二铁板,一板印刷,一板已自布字,此印者才毕,则第二板已具,更互用之,瞬息可就。每一字皆有数印,如“之”“也”等字,每字有二十余印,以备一板内有重复者。不用,则以纸帖之,每韵为一帖,木格贮之。有奇字素无备者,旋刻之,以草火烧,瞬息可成。不以木为之者,文理有疏密,沾水则高下不平,兼与药相粘,不可取;不若燔土,用讫再火令药熔,以手拂之,其印自落,殊不沾污。

计算题
单项选择题

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 check 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 fight 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 I 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 £20 a week. 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." David added, "I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.\

Why does David think he might retire early()

A. You have to be young to write computer programs.

B. He wants to stop working when he is a millionaire.

C. He thinks computer games might not always sell so well.

D. He thinks his firm might go bankrupt.
