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(普通成绩) 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.

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’ a dventures, 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, bu t it was as a successful journalist that Remington was a great artist.36.

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 2000, 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.
