Question

It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War III. All these because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her sadness, I don’t want to do any job related(和…相关) to science, either. In fact, when I said that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, Her heart was broken.

“Why can’t you be like my friend’s son?” she bemoans(抱怨) all the time. Her friend’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I can’t be like him. He is Mr. Perfect. I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary(薪水).

I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6.30 a.m. and usually comes home around 5 p.m. or even 6 p.m. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

试题分析：这篇短文说的是“我”和我的母亲在我的职业选择上发生了分歧，以至于两人经常发生争吵。母亲想让我学习医学，成为一名医生，但是“我”并不喜欢当医生。“我”很理解母亲的想法，但是也不想放弃自己的梦想。

1.细节理解题。根据文章中All these because I don’t plan to be a doctor可知，两人经常发生争吵的原因是我不想成为一名医生，这是关于我未来工作的问题，故选B。

2.细节理解题。根据文章中In fact, when I said that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, Her heart was broken.当我告诉母亲想要学习英语时，她的心碎了。我们可以判断出，母亲不想让我学习英语。故选A。

3.推理判断题。根据文章中I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.我愿意追逐我的梦想，创造我自己的未来。可知作者会坚持自己的梦想，做自己喜欢做的事。根据第二段I can’t be like him.的内容可知作者不想像他母亲的儿子一样，所以A不对；而作者只是在社区帮忙不是想将来去社区工作，故B不对；根据第二段He is Mr. Perfect.可知C不对。故选D。

4.细节理解题。根据最后一段I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6.30 a.m. and usually comes home around 5 p.m. or even 6 p.m. 我理解妈妈为什么为我未来的专业而担心。我亲眼看着母亲用她微薄的工资养育我，每天工作很长时间，早上6点半出门，晚上5点甚至6点才回来。由此我们可以判断答案为A。
