阅读下面短文，撑握其大意，然后从36~55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D），选出最佳选项。

I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother’s who owned a bookshop _36me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very 37to earn my own pocket money and my parents 38interfered(干涉) 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(成熟) and 41 about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.

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

Three years later, my younger brother decide to 49a 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 50to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n) 51year working his way on trains and ships to 52passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.

These kinds of experiences are probably rare(稀少的) for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly 53. Most parents start 54their 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 55the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.
