阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

At 18, many American young people go off on their own. They go to college or find full­time jobs, and they often rent their own apartments. Some get married and start families. This independence (**) is learned from childhood. From an early age, American children learn responsibility. Children as young as 2 begin to put away their toys and dress themselves. At 3, many children do simple chores 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 decisions and make mistakes. Failure(失败) often teaches more than success.
