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 3. She’ll talk about my not very bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor, and much to her disappointment, I don't want to do any job related to science, either. In fact when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.

“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s(同事) son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker's son received a four-year scholarship(獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金) and is now making 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don't know what to answer except that I just can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker's son. I can't be like him. I am the type of the 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 honor or money.

I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her little money and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am. And usually comes home around 5 pm. or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that if I become a doctor, it doesn't mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

1.Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?

A. the writer's studies B. wars around the world

C. dinner plans D. the writer’s further job

2.We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the writer’s mother .

A. doesn’t think the writer should be a doctor

B. doesn’t want the writer to major in English

C. gets along very well with the writer

D. doesn't think working in the scientific field is a good idea

3.The underlined word “bemoans”, in Paragraph 2 most probably means“ ”.

A. 稱(chēng)贊 B. 大喊 C. 安慰 D. 抱怨

4.Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer?

A. He wants to be like his mother’s co-worker’s son.

B. He wants to find a job in his community in the future.

C. He wants to do something he really likes in the future.

D. He doesn’t think his mother’s co-worker’s son is perfect.

5.We can know from the last paragraph that______.

A. the writer's mother works very hard for the family

B. the writer doesn’t know what his future will be like

C. the writer doesn’t think being a doctor is a good job

D. the writer sometimes thinks his mother's advice is very good

All around the world, people drink tea. But tea doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have different ideas about drinking tea.
