For many     36   in the US, earning some money gives them a sense of    37     . 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   38      give them an allowance (零用钱). For some ,an allowance is given every week ; for    39     , every month or so . Usually they can get 10 to 30 dollars a month from their parents . An allowance is typically based on the    40     of chores (家务), such as washing the dishes , cleaning up one’s room, taking out the trash , and    41     the floor .   42     to younger siblings (兄弟姐妹) is also regarded as worthy of extra cash ,   43     some cases .
Many teens also work to get    44     .Since most of my peers (同伴) are not     45    for a formal job , many choose part-time positions . These require relatively     46    time and basically no training . They can have these jobs like babysitting ;   47     younger students , offered by most schools    48     a small fee ;   49     bagging groceries at local supermarkets .
   50     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   51      saving money . Indeed , in many situations , teens can be quite level-headed (头脑冷静) in   52      money towards college or other    53     plans . The way teens manage their money should not be seen as a   54      . It may just be a defining characteristic of their carefree    55    .
