(2024·辽宁省沈阳市高三一模)In my whole life I was frightened by doctors.So when I recently launched a series of writing and publishing courses,I was shocked to find among my students several physicians,the same profession as my father.And they all wanted to be writers.Whenever someone mentioned their medical background,I'd think:I have to call Dad to tell him,but I couldn't.
Raised up in a big Michigan family with three brilliant loud science brain brothers,I'd always felt left out by their Disease Game at dinner,where Dad threw out cases for them to diagnose.Our house was their laboratory.I was frequently scared by bees in jars in the refrigerator and pet rats.
Getting to study medicine was always Dad's dream,so he encouraged the boys to follow in his footsteps.But I never truly settled down,chasing my dream for literary here and there.My father opposed my liberalism.I was overjoyed when Random House published my humorous memoirs (回忆录) about my past addictions.My father wasn't so joyful.“You're bringing disgrace on our family,” he snapped.
At 87,when my father was admitted to hospital with heart and kidney failure,we had a rare afternoon alone.Sitting by his bed,I apologized for taking so long to figure out my life.
“I have a lot of regrets,” he said,“It took me too long to make a decent living,screwing_up jobs because of my bullheadedness and big mouth.”
I was nervous when his physician Olaf emailed me,but it wasn't bad news.“Your dad says you're a professor who helps people publish.Could you help me?” he asked.
“What did you tell Olaf about me?” I questioned Dad that night,still surprised.
“That you stuck to your guns and became a success,” he said.
“Why didn't you ever tell me that?”
“I'm telling you now,” he said.He was pleased when I helped Olaf publish his first magazine piece.
I wish Dad were here so I could share the latest stories by my physician students.But I lost him four years ago.In a way,he still is,as I channel everything he taught me about hard work,and never giving up doing what you love.

(2024·辽宁省协作校高三三模)We're often told that there's no age limit when it comes to pursuing our goals,but it's truly inspiring to see someone achieve them later in life—especially if they are 95 years old.Angela Alvarez is a Cubanborn singer and songwriter who,after putting aside her dream of pursuing a career in entertainment for decades,finally released her first album in 2021.
Once Alvarez graduated from school,she told her father she wanted to become a professional singer.However,he prevented her from doing so.Eventually,she got married and found happiness in raising her four children,though life wasn't easy.
With time,her grandson,Carlos José Alvarez,grew up to be a music producer.When he found out his grandma had written over 50 songs throughout her life,he asked if she would like to record her songs.Her answer was “yes”.And that was the beginning.
Alvarez's story even caught the attention of actor Andy García,who produced a documentary about this amazing woman and the recording process of her 15song album.“She represents a generation,perhaps our greatest generation of Cubans,” said the actor.
The dream reached new heights as she became nominated for a Latin Grammy.Once she took to the stage to accept her award,she gave an inspiring speech,“I want to dedicate this award to my beloved homeland,Cuba;also to those who have not achieved their dream.Although life is difficult,there is always a way out,and with faith and love they can achieve it.I promise,it's never too late.”
