　　I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother’s who owned a book shop hired（雇佣） me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very 　1　 　to earn my own pocket money and my parents 　2　 　interfered（干涉）with how I spent it, even when I was spending it foolishly. They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the 　3　 , I would become more mature（成熟的） and responsible about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.
　　Like many American parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they 　4 　　a great deal.

Again my mother was very worried and not eager to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n) 　9　 　year working his way on trains and ships to 　10 　　passage 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 common. Most parents start 　11　 　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 selected the university they plan to attend and maybe even 　12　 　on their future career, and so on.

What’s your 2022?

Thomas I’m not very sure what I will be in ten years. Maybe a cook or a film director(导演). But I can tell you what I’ll be doing next week—having a birthday party with my friends.

Emma There is one thing I really want to do and that is to travel around the world. Hope I will be living somewhere different in ten years, like Australia or maybe Japan—who knows? I’d like to be a teacher and I think it must be great fun to teach English.

Ken When I was young I always said I wanted to be a doctor and that hasn’t changed. I will study medicine (医学) after I finish school. It will be hard work, but it’s my dream. So in ten years I hope I will either be working in a hospital or as a doctor with my own surgery (诊疗室).

Mary I’m not really sure about the future. I’m interested in the environment (环境), so I’ll probably be working as a scientist and helping make a greener world or something like that.
