第二节 完形填空(共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分)
Mary’s parents are different from the
average(普通人). While she was growing up they required
her to 31 . First of all she had to work around
their home. Later on Mary worked for other people.
When Mary was 14 years old her mother and
father told her that they were no 32 going to buy her clothes. Sure, they
would continue to buy shoes for her and also the special clothes 33 suits, but everything else was her
responsibility. Some people thought that they were 34 . But they wanted to teach Mary some valuable
lessons. One thing she learned was that nothing is cheap or free . She learned
how to deal with her money 35 . Another thing she learned was how to
keep from 36 out her clothes too fast.
Also, even when Mary went to school she was
required to work. All through her high school and 37 years she worked as well as studied.
Mary’s parents had plenty of money but they felt she would valude
her education more if she had to 38 it. And strange 39 it may seem, they had heard that students
who worked part-time generally got 40 grades than students who did no work.
Now Mary is a mother herself. She requires
her children to do the same as she did, especially working part-time as they go
to school.
