They could not depend on them for an education．They saw how it was,and began to work with their own efforts to know something. They worked their own way up to fame. One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, "I can"t make worthy (优秀的) men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves." Some young men have the best of everything, but they are to be pitied (同情). They can never do things successfully if they don"t see their weak point and change their attitudes (态度) to study.

| For many American teenagers, having a part-time job is an important part of growing up. A part-time job can teach teenagers important skills like responsibility (责任), independence (独立),teamwork and leadership. Young people can expand (扩大) their social circles beyond their classmates by making friends with co-workers.

After the children are sleeping and before the parents come home, babysitters have lots of freedom. As long as they stay in the house and make sure the kids are okay, babysitters can do their homework, enjoy a snack, watch TV, or talk on the phone with friends.
