1、Nowadays lots of students ask their parents for money to buy things they like. For me, to ask for money is like entering a(n)   36  . I learned this from   37  .

Last year my mother told me that the   38  way I would get a driver’s license before I turned eighteen depended on   39  I paid for the classes myself. “What?” I asked in   40  . Judging by the look on my mothers face, I knew   41  that my reasoning would have no   42   on the situation.

Three weeks later, I started working   43  a hostess at a factory, twice a week. A month later I paid $ 270 for driving lessons, and then over $20 to   44  my permit test-all paid for by   45  other than yours truly. My pockets were empty   46  as soon as they were filled.

My mother thought that I’d be   47  to do things without her help. The funny thing was that even though I was totally   48  in the beginning, I truly appreciated it,   49  if I had just been handed bills from her.

When I realized that my mother wasn’t going to   50  something like a driver’s license, at first, it seemed as if she had put an immovable   51  before me and I would never   52  it. But my mother was   53  . She knew that I wanted a luxury(奢侈品) but   54  me to get it. That is as   55  as this―if I really want it, I’ll find a way to get it myself.
