I was very 36 to earn my own pocket money and my parents 37 interfered (干涉) with how I spent it , even when I was spending it 38 .They believed that by earning money ,spending it ,and learning from the 39 ,I would become more mature (成熟的)and 40 in how to handle work ,relationships with others ,and money.
Like many 41 parents ,my parents also let me and my brothers do things about which they 42 a 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 43 .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 44 for me .In the end , my father won the 45 on the condition that I limited my traveling to France ,my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins 46 through the country who could 47 shelter and help if I needed them .
Three years later ,my younger brother decided to 48 a 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 49 to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother spent a (n) 50 year working his way on trains and ships to 51 his passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.
