解答 32---35 BACD
32．答案B．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．
33．答案A．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．
34．答案C．词义猜测题．作者和他妈妈在他将来该从事什么职业方面存在很大的分歧，所以他妈妈应该是在抱怨作者为什么不能像她同事的儿子一样，故选C．
35．答案D．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．故选D．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．

点评 阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事件在文中出现的先后顺序．因此，无论是顺叙还是倒叙，阅读此类文章时，必须要找到它结构中的5个W（when，where，who，why，what）和1个H（how），不过不是每篇都会完整地交待六个要素．毫无疑问，寻出这些元素是能够正确快速解题的一个先决条件．
