    　　Traveling to every part of the world gets easier, but how well do we know and understand each other．Here’s a simple test．Imagine you are planning to hold a meeting at four o’clock．What time should you expect your foreign business friends to arrive?If they are Germans, they’ll arrive on time．If they are Americans, they’ll probably be 15 minutes early．If they are Englishmen, they’ll be 15 minutes late, and you should allow up to an hour for the Italians．

    　　The British seemed to think since the English language was widely used in the world, people would always understand what they do．However, they found they were completely wrong．For example, the British are happy to have a business lunch and discuss business matters and have a drink during the meal．The Japanese prefer not to work while eating．Lunch is a time for them to relax and get to know each other and they don’t drink at lunchtime．The Germans like to talk business before dinner．The French like to eat first and talk afterwards．They have to be well fed and watered before they discuss anything．

    　　I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother’s who owned a book shop hired（雇佣） me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very 　1　 　to earn my own pocket money and my parents 　2　 　interfered（干涉）with how I spent it, even when I was spending it foolishly. They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the 　3　 , I would become more mature（成熟的） and responsible about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.

    　　Like many American parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they 　4 　　a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around Europe. My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great 　5　 　for me. In the end, my father won the argument（争论） on the 　6　 　that I limited（限定）my traveling to France, my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins spread out through the country who could 　7　 　shelter（住处）and help if I needed them.

    　　Three years later, my younger brother decided to 　8　 　a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean.

    　　These kinds of experiences are probably rare（稀少的）for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly common. Most parents start 　11　 　their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have selected the university they plan to attend and maybe even 　12　 　on their future career, and so on.
