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. 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(n) 9 year working his way on trains and ships to 10 passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.
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.

试题分析:这篇文章讲的是在美国,很多父母在孩子小的时候就开始锻炼他们的独立性,这样随着他们的长大,孩子们对自己的未来就能够具有很清晰的规划。
小题1:anxious “焦急的”;content“满意的”;proud“自豪的”;hopeful“有希望的”。 因为自己挣钱自己花,当然是值得骄傲与自豪的了。故选C
小题2:从下文看她的父母很开通,支持孩子独立自主,给孩子锻炼机会,所以判断它们不会干涉孩子如何花零花钱的。故选A. never“从不”。故选A
小题3:根据上下文,可知作者的父母给孩子充分的锻炼机会,哪怕是犯错误。这里指即使他不理智的花钱,父母也不会干涉;好让他在错误中吸取教训,学会合理地消费。故选B。
小题4:从第三段第二行“Again my mother was very worried and not eager to see my brother leave school,”可知,母亲对子女的单独出游非常不放心,表现出很担心的样子。故选D
小题5:A. journey 旅行,旅程;B. experience 经历;C. chance 机会;D. possibility 可能性。从文中以及最后一段“These kinds of experiences…”可知作者希望通过独自旅行锻炼自己对自己的成长来说应该是一次难得的经历。故选B

小题8:take a year off“请一年假”,固定结构。句意:我弟弟决定请一年的假期,去旅行美国和加勒比海地区。故选C
小题9: 因为弟弟是主动选择边打工边旅行,因而他一定觉得这样的经历unusual“不同寻常”,而非 hard“艰苦”,strange“奇怪”或 busy“繁忙”。故选A
小题10: 这里passage指“乘船或飞机的航程,旅行,旅费”;earn passage to different ports earn and cities“自己挣钱到各处旅行”。故选B
小题11:bringing“带来”;forcing“迫使”;pushing“促使”;protecting“保护”这里指父母推动孩子做自己想做的事,而不是强迫,故选 C。
小题12:A.工作 B.决定 C.拿、背负 D.试图;decide on sth.“决定某事”。句意:他们可以决定自己以后的事业,故选B。
