We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War III. She’ll complain(抱怨) about my lack of a 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 in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.???? “Why can’t you be like my coworker’s son?” she bemoans all the time.

I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, writes 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. 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 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. 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. 1. Which of the following topics do the author and his mother often argue about? A. The author’s future job. B. The author’s studies.C.
