[对应学生用书P402] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2022·合肥教学质量检测)An 89­year­old man，Manfred Steiner，has reached a goal he spent 20 years working toward and nearly a lifetime thinking about：earning his Ph.D.And now he is a physicist. Steiner values this degree because it is what he always wanted and because he overcame health problems that could have affected his studies. “But I made it，and this was the most satisfactory point in my life，”he said. When he was young，Steiner wanted to become a physicist after reading about Albert Einstein. But his mother and uncle persuaded him that studying medicine would be a better choice. He earned his medical degree in 1955 and moved to the US soon after. Steiner studied hematology (血液学) at Tufts University and biochemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He became a full professor and led the hematology section of the medical school at Brown University from 1985 to 1994. Steiner helped establish a research program in hematology at the University of North Carolina. He directed that program until he retired from medicine in 2000. Steiner found medical research pleasing，but it was not quite the same as his interest in physics. “It was something like a wish that was never fulfilled，that always stuck in the back of my head，”he said. At age 70，he started taking undergraduate classes. Physics professor Brad Marston was surprised when Steiner entered his quantum mechanics class. But he became Steiner's adviser for his dissertation (学位论文) after realizing how serious Steiner was about the subject and how hard he worked. “He has written many papers in medical science，more papers than I've written in physics，”Marston said. “One thing that's really true about Manfred is that he perseveres.” After the university published a story about Steiner on its website，people across the US contacted him to ask for advice on how to go after their dreams later in life. His advice is：Do what you love to do. [解题导语]　本文是一篇记叙文。虽然Steiner在血液学领域成就斐然，但是他的梦想是做一名物理学家。他在70岁时学习本科课
