完形填空
I had my first job at the age of thirteen , when a friend of my mother who owned a bookshop hired me for six hours a week to help her in the shop . I was very
36 to earn my own pocket money and my parents
37 interfered (干涉) with how I spent it , even when I was spending it
38 .They believed that by earning money ,spending it ,and learning from the
39 ,I would become more mature (成熟的)and
40 in how to handle work ,relationships with others ,and money.
Like many
41 parents ,my parents also let me and my brothers do things about which they
42 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
43 .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
44 
for me .In the end , my father won the
45 on the condition that I limited my traveling to France ,my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins
46 through the country who could
47 shelter and help if I needed them .
Three years later ,my younger brother decided to
48 a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not
49 to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother spent a (n)
50 year working his way on trains and ships to
51 his passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.
These kinds of experiences are probably
52 for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly common. Most parents start
53 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
54 jobs and traveled around the US or other countries on their own , have selected the university they plan to attend , maybe even have decided on their future
55 ,and so on .
