For many _31_in the US, earning some money gives them a sense of ___32___. By making their own money they can buy whatever they want. It also develops a sense of responsibility and independence.

Most teens I know have a small sum of money. Their ___33___ give them an allowance (零用钱). For some, an allowance is given every week; for _34___, every month or so. Usually they can get 10 to 30 dollars a month from their parents. An allowance is typically based on the ___35__ of chores(家务), such as washing the dishes, cleaning up one’s room, taking out the trash, and ___36___ the floor. ___37__ to younger siblings(兄弟姐妹) is also regarded as worthy of extra cash, ___38___ some cases.

Many teens also work to get ___39___. Since most of my peers(同伴) are not ___40___ for a formal job, many choose part-time positions. These require relatively ___41___ time and basically no training. They can have these jobs like babysitting; ___42___ younger students, offered by most schools ___43___ a small fee; ___44___ bagging groceries at local supermarkets.

___45__ spending habits, most teens spend their money in a relatively carefree style. Often, a month’s allowance can be spent in just a few hours. I’m not saying that teens in US are __46_ saving money. Indeed, in many situations, teens can be quite level-headed(头脑冷静) in __47__ money towards college or other ___48___ plans.
