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.

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。
Where did the British people come from? This is an extraordinarily interesting question, since they are a mixture of many different races, and all these races invaded(入侵) Britain at various times from Europe. Nobody knows very much about Britain before the Romans came during the first century B. C., but there had been at least three invasions(入侵) before that. The first of these was by the Iberians. The other two were by Celtic tribes(部落): first the Gaels, whose descendants(后裔) are the modern Scots and Irish, some of whom still speak the Gaelic language; and secondly the Britons, who gave their name to the whole island of Britain. These were the people whom the Romans conquered. But the Roman Empire was overthrown by the Germanic tribes, which once overran(横行于) the whole of Western Europe.
There were three great Germanic tribes which invaded Britain: the Angles, the Saxons and Jutes; and together they form the basis of the modern English race. The Britons, as a race, disappeared except in Wales and Cornwall. Many Welsh people still speak their “British” language, which is called Welsh. The Angles were so numerous that the country was called Angle-land, i. e. England, and the Anglo-Saxon language was old English, in other words, modern English has descended directly from it.
So far then, we have noted the Iberians, two kinds of Celts; the Romans and the Germanic peoples, which we shall call collectively the Saxons: but the story is by no means ended. A few hundred years later a further invasion took place from the North-East, that of the Danes. Finally, and more important, there came the great Norman invasion. In the year 1066, Duke William of Normandy claimed the English throne(王位) and he defeated and killed the Saxon King Harold at the Battle of Hastings. He went on to conquer the whole country and was crowned(加冕) William j of England. Our present Queen is one of his descendants. There has never been another invasion of Britain in the 900 years since William the Conqueror, so that all the various elements(人的一群) have had time to settle down and from one people.
1．According to the passage ________ invaded Britain first.
[ ]
2．The British people are descendants of ________.
[ ]
3．Modern English is mainly derived from ________.
[ ]
A．the Garlic language
B．the “British” language
C．the Germanic language
D．the Anglo-Saxon language
4．Which of the following statements is not true?
[ ]
A．The Britons form a large part of the modern English race.
B．Some languages of former invaders still exist in Britain now.
C．The last and greatest invasion Britain suffered from was the Norman invasion.
D．It can be inferred that the name of England is derived from the name of one of the Germanic tribes.
5．This passage deals mainly with ________.
[ ]
A．the past suffering of Britain
B．the history of Britain
C．the origin of the British people
D．the development of the English language
