第三部分 ?閱讀理解(共10小題;每小題3分,滿(mǎn)分30分)
A
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. Shell talk about my lack of a bright future because I dont plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I dont 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 cant you be like my co-workers son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-workers son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I dont know what to answer except that I simply cant be like Mr. Perfect as Ive called the unnamed co-workers son. I cant be like him. Im 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(名聲)or salary.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. Ive 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 doesnt mean Ill be successful. Id rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

The iPhone has become one of the most popular mobile phones in the United States. An 18-year-o1d student in California has used his knowledge of the device(裝置)to create his own business,gaining national recognition for his work.
Vincent Quigg is the CEO of TechWorld. His company is kind of like a hospital for iPhones, specializing in customizing and repairing iPhones. Vincent Quigg set up TechWorld while in high school. “My mom became single a couple of years ago and I had to grow up.

At the time, Vincent worked for the electronics store BestBuy. He says people always came into the store with broken electronic devices. He decided that repairing those devices was what he wanted to do. He not only re-registered for the NFTE class, but he also won the organizations national competition for best young entrepreneur.
His business has grown through word-of-mouth. Vincent says he now fixes up to l0 phones per week. He earns about $ l,500 each month in sales.

Bend over, take a deep breath and drink some water for 15 seconds! This is just one of hundreds of tips you might get if you have hiccups(打嗝). Hiccups are so mysterious. We really dont know why they start and why they stop.
Everyone has a favorite cure(治愈方法)for a case of the hiccups. Some people think that a good scare is necessary to get well. Others eat a teaspoon of sugar. Still others drink a glass of water with a knife in it. An American man named Jack O Leary claimed to have hiccups 160 million times over a period of eight years. He tried 60,000 cures, but none of them worked. Finally he prayed(祈禱)to Saint Jude, the saint of hopeless cases, and his hiccupping stopped immediately.
It took a British singer eight months to cure his hiccups. People from all over the world wrote him letters with suggestions for getting well. He tried them all, but the hiccups continued. Finally, he drank a “secret” mixture someone had sent him. By that evening his hiccups were gone.
Why did these cures work for these two men? No one really knows. But people who have studied many cases of hiccups have an idea. Hiccups usually go away if you believe in the cure.
48. Why were hiccups so mysterious?
