Suzy won an award in the USA for her popular talk show on TV. Her show is very popular so even people all over the world know it. Why is her show so popular? Because she cares about people and the world. She usually invites important people to her show to talk about some important issues that everyone cares about. And she is not afraid to fight with the bad things. One of her famous stories is about the "mad cow disease(疯牛病)". When Suzy learned that some businessmen(商人) sold bad beef and lied to people that the cows were without "mad cow disease", she got angry and worried. She didn’t want people to get sick, so she told everyone in her show that she decided not to eat beef any more. She knew that people would follow her and the businessmen would be angry, but she was not afraid. She knew what was the right thing to do.
【小题1】Why is Suzy’s show popular?

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. She’ll talk 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(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.

“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I’m 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 (名声) or salary(薪水).

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 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.
