III.阅读理解

　　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 the Third World War.She'll talk about my lack of 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，she nearly had a heart attack.

　　"Why can't you be like my co­worker's son？"she bemoans all the time.Her co­worker's son received a four­year scholarship(奖学金)and is now earning 70，000 dollars a year as an engineer.I don't know what to say except that I simply can't be like Mr.Perfect as I've called the unnamed co­worker'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 of loving it，not because of fame 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 a．m. and usually comes back 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.
