29、s Conclusion.CI 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 proud to earn my own pocket money and my parents never interfered with how I spent it, even when I was spending it foolishly. The
30、y believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the mistakes, I would become more mature 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 worried a great deal.
31、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 experience for me. In the
32、end, my father won the argument on condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mothers home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins spread out through the country who could provide shelter and help if I needed them.Three years later, my younger brother decided to take a year off after hi
33、s first year in univeristy and travel through the United States and the Caribbean.Again my mother was very worried and not eager to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a fascinating year working his way on trains and ships to earn passage to different ports a
34、nd cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.These kinds of experiences are probably rare for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly common. Most parents start pushing their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished hi
35、gh school, many American kids have already had parttime jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have selected the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.44The writers parents allowed their kids to travel so that _.Ait could make
36、the kids become braverBthe kids could earn some pocket moneyCthe kids could find jobs more easilyDit could bring good to the kids future45The writer thinks _.Ahis brother gained valuable experiences during the travelBhis brother earned a lot of money by workingChis brother didnt disappoint his fathe
37、rDhis brothers travel was better than his to France46The text is mainly about the writer and his brothers stories to _. Ado some parttime jobs Bbecome independentCtravel for experiences Dearn pocket money47What can we infer from Paragraph 1?AThe author earned a lot of money when he was young.BThe au
38、thor was responsible for what he did.CThe authors mother recommended him to work in the bookshop.DThe author was able to manage his money well as a child.No. 1Dear Sally,Now Id like to tell you something about my part-time job, in it I work like a guide in a travel agency. This is the first time whe
39、n I have earned money. Ive realized what hard my parents work to support for the family. I was used to ask them for money, but now Ill never waste money or learn to share worry with my parents. Ive learnt how to get along well with other. Whats more, I have gained some social experience and I have learnt something cant be learnt from textbooks. In the word, I had a wonderfully and valuable summer vacation.
