根据内容，回答下面问题：Computer programmer David Jones earns￡35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card.

David’s firm neleases(推出)two new games for the fast growing computer market each month.But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money.

You never know when the market might disappear.”第5题：In which way is David different from people of his age?A．He often goes out with friends.B．He lives with his mother.C．He has a handsome income.D．He graduated with six O-levels.
