B At 18, many American young people go off on their own. They go away to college or find full-time jobs, and they often rent their own apartments. Some get married and start families. This independence(独立性) is learned from childhood.From an early age, American children learn responsibility（责任感）. Children as young as 2 begin to put away their toys and dress themselves. At 3, many children do simple chores（日常琐事） like setting the table. Using money wisely is also taught early. As soon as a child understands the value of money, he or she receives a weekly allowance(零花钱).This is used for things the child wants, like toys or treats. The child can spend or save it, usually with little guidance（指导） from parents. If the child wants money besides his or her allowance, it must be made by doing extra chores. Children are taught early in life to think for themselves. They are allowed to make some decisionsand make mistakes. Failure（失败）often teaches more than success. 5.

He liked his students and was strict with them. He did his best to make his classes lively and interesting. One day he carefully explained a chemical reaction (化学反应) to the students of Grade Two in the chemistry lab. “Be careful, everyone， ”he said loudly.“Before I make the experiment, there are 25 atoms of carbon (碳原子)but after I finish it, there are 24 atoms of carbon left！” He stopped to watch the classroom and hoped his students would go on explaining it. But the young men looked at each other and nobody answered him.
