  I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother’s who owned a book shop  36 me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very  37 to earn my own pocket money and my parents  38 interfered with how I spent it, even when I was spending it  39 . They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the  40 , I would become more mature and  41  about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.

  Like many  42 parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they  43 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  44 . 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  45 for me. In the end, my father won the  46 on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins  47 through the country who could  48 shelter and help if I needed them.

  Three years later, my younger brother decided to  49 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  50 to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n)  51 year working his way on trains and ships to  52 passage to different ports and 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  53 . Most parents start  54 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  55 the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.

“We’ve been good friends for so many years. And I don’t think you meant to do that ...” I said to myself, looking at Jack, my friend who was running across the  36   field.
How I wish I could join them! But it was impossible because of the pain in my left foot, caused by Jack.
I first met Jack in a football match in the elementary school. When my team looked as if we were  37 , Jack, who was watching, volunteered to join us. He was so confident and skilled that we won. From then on, Jack and I often played together and became best friends.
But something happened before an important football match between Class Six and my class. My class had so many good players that we had to  38   the best ones. Jack and I were in  the same  team. The match was close in the first half. I saw my chance and was ready to score a goal. Suddenly, Jack  39   me. He slid to stop the ball, but collided  with my left foot. I knew I had lost the chance to score and was  40   the field. But what really hurt me was that Jack didn’t say sorry.  And when some of my teammates said he did it on purpose to  41   me from scoring, I felt even  42 .
Now I stand here, with tears in my eyes. I don’t want to  43   those words but I don’t know how to persuade myself they are  44  . Then everything changes when Jack scores and wins! How excited I am!
While I am still  45   in excitement, someone pats my shoulder. It is Jack, with a smile on his face. “I’m sorry that you can not join in because of my  46   . But you see, Jason, we beat them! No matter whether you joined in or not, you’ve made a contribution. Come on, let’s celebrate!” Suddenly, I am  47   by the players. The sunshine is so bright that I close my eyes. Riding high above my teammates, I feel so happy. And I know the  friendship  between Jack and me will last forever.

My father’s reaction to the bank building at 43rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York city was immediate and definite: “You won’t catch me putting my money in there!” he declared, “Not in that glass box!”

   Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is upsetting, but I am convinced that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money. In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity (实物) that could be carried, or stolen.

  Consequently, to attract the custom of a sensible man, a bank had to have heavy walls, barred windows, and bronze doors, to affirm the fact, however untrue, that money would be safe inside. If a building’s design made it appear impenetrable(难以渗透的), the institution was necessarily reliable, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architecture symbol reflected people’s prevailing attitude toward money.

  But the attitude toward money has, of course, changed. Excepting pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used; money as a tangible commodity has largely been replaced by credit. A deficit (赤字) economy, accompanied by huge expansion, has led us to think of money as product of the creative imagination. The banker no longer offers us a safe: he offers us a service in which the most valuable element is the creativity for the invention of large numbers. It is in no way surprising, in view of this change in attitude, that we are witnessing the disappearance of the heavy-walled bank.

  Just as the older bank emphasized its strength, this bank by its architecture boasts of imaginative powers. From this point of view it is hard to say where architecture ends and human assertion (人们的说法) begins.

36. 1.The main idea of this passage is that________.

A.money is not as valuable as it was in the past

B.changes have taken place in both the appearance and the concept of banks

C.the architectural style of the older bank is superior to that of the modern bank

D.prejudice makes the older generation think that the modern bank is unreliable

37. 2.How do the older generation and the younger one think about money respectively?

A.The former thinks more of money than the latter.

B.The younger generation values money more than the older generation.

C.Both generations rely on the imaginative power of bankers to make money.

D.To the former money is a real commodity but to the latter be a means to produce more money.

38. 3.The words “tangible commodity” (Line 2, Para. 4) refer to something ______.

A.that can be replaceable

B.that is usable

C.that can be touched

D.that can be reproduced

39. 4.According to this passage, a modern banker should be _______.

A.ambitious and friendly

B.reliable and powerful

C.sensible and impenetrable

D.imaginative and creative

40. 5.It can be inferred from the passage that the author’s attitude towards the new trend in banking is _______.
