A qualified doctor who rarely practised but instead devoted his life to writing.He once said,“Medicine is my lawful wife and literature is my lover.”Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a great playwright(剧作家) and one of the masters of the modern short story.
When Chekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879,he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family.After he graduated,he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper.
As a writer he was extremely fast,often producing a short story in an hour or less.Chekhov’s medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference many of his characters show to tragic events.In 1892,he became a full-time writer and published some of his most memorable stories.
Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small towns of Russia.Tragic events control his characters who are filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair.
It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhov’s stories and plays.He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters.Chekhov’s works combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity of an artist.
Some of Chekhov’s works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s.One of his famous stories,The Man in a Shell,about a school teacher’s extraordinarily orderly life was selected as a text for Chinese senior students.

For a girl who’s interested in fashion,what would be the dream job Being a model Probably no—that’s for a pencil thin who doesn’t eat.One answer is,fashion stylist.
Girls can find it hard to ignore this attractiveness and the field is opening up to normal girls,not only style or fashion design majors.“It looked too high before,but now I find it more approachable,” said Xue Rui,22,a Fudan University Chinese literature graduate who works as an assistant stylist at Hermes in Shanghai.“There is no certain principle in dressing up models,and you can try every way with your own distinct taste to make them pretty and attractive.” Some professionals said that Xue’s not mistaken.
The attractiveness of this work is not only in the wonderful clothes.Now it’s a career with a bright future and pay packet.The income can allow you to buy expensive clothes and,with your name and photo appearing on pages,readers will remember your fashion tips.
A stylist at a fashion magazine can have some unique rights.You have a chance to contact famous persons and dress them up in a style you like.You need to cooperate with top photographers and select places around the world to take photos in.You might also be invited to fashion shows of top brands and can select some of the favourite clothes.
“You have to be all-round,from hair and make-up to clothes,shoes,and accessories (配饰) to the event,” said He Qing,21,a junior in fashion design at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology.“You have to know everything,and handle several things at the same time.It’s challenging.That’s why I love it.”
So,remember,girls,you’ve been warned.
5.What can we learn from the text

Like many new graduates,I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do.My degree,with honours,in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical.I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow,but I had no idea how to do that.That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers.I knew it would be a lot of hard work,and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time.In short,I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly.Neither did my family.
Eventually,however,I won the support of my family,and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application.After countless interviews and presentations,I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone.Several months later,I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty.I was going to a small village near Abuja,Nigeria.Where What Nigeria I had no idea.But I was about to find out.
After completing my training,I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation.Though the local villagers were poor,they offered their homes,hearts,and food as if I were their own family.I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse.For the next year or so,I taught in that same schoolhouse.But I sometimes thought I learned more from my students than they did from me.Sometime during that period,I realised that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did,though I did not get anywhere with the local language,and returned to the United States as a different man.The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

I was a taxi driver,a father of a 16-year-old boy at that time.My son was good at school,and he would graduate from senior high school and go to university,but he was hesitating to choose his future job and he always changed his mind.I did give him advice but he didn’t follow it.And one Monday morning,I stopped at New York Hospital when I found a well-dressed man coming over.He was waving to me.I waited patiently until he jumped into the taxi.“La Guardia Airport,please.” He said.
As always,I wondered about my passenger.So I asked,“What do you do ” “I am working at the hospital.” For some unknown reason,I decided to ask for his help.
“Could I ask a favour ” He didn’t answer at first.But I continued,“I have a son,16.He’s doing well in the school.He will graduate from senior high school.He wants a job this summer.Is there any possibility that you might get him a summer job ” After a minute,he said,“The medical students have a research project.Maybe he could fit in.Have him send me his school records.” He searched his pocket and handed me a card.
That evening,when I got home,I pulled the card from my pocket.“Robbie,” I said proudly,“this could be a summer job for you.Send him your school records.” Robbie took the card and read it out loud,“Fred Plum,New York Hospital.” “Is this a joke ” he said in doubt.After I shouted and threatened to cut off his pocket-money,Robbie promised to send off his grades the next morning.
Paragraph 1:
Two weeks later,when I arrived home,the whole family waited for me excitedly.
Paragraph 2:
Robbie got the job and did well at the hospital.

Paragraph 1:
Two weeks later,when I arrived home,the whole family waited for me excitedly.Extremely proud,my son handed me a letter from Plum,telling him he was accepted by the project.As it turns out,he had sent his school records to the hospital the next day after I gave him the card.And he got a phone from Plum’s secretary for an interview.He was concerned about the result,as a result of which,he didn’t tell the family what happened.
Paragraph 2:
Robbie got the job and did well at the hospital.In fact,Robbie did so well that Plum phoned me,singing high praise for him.When the summer job ended,he made up his mind to be a doctor.With a clear aim in his mind,Robbie worked even harder.Eventually,he was admitted to New York Medical College.Much to my amazement,a stranger should change my son’s future.Unit 2 A life’s work-Section Ⅱ课时同步练习

Johannes Gutenberg—the pioneer of the printing press
Johannes Gutenberg was chosen to be the most important figure of the past millennium by the media.You may not be familiar with him. 1 Gutenberg is praised for having invented the printing press and therefore preparing the way for printing books.
He was born into a wealthy family in the city of Mainz,Germany.His early training was in goldsmithing.In 1428,he moved to Strasbourg and lived there for almost 20 years. 2
Gutenberg used his skills in metalwork for the mass production of books. 3 That means that each copy of the Catholic Bible and all of its 73 books were painstakingly handwritten by men.Gutenberg fashioned a font of over 300 characters,far larger than the fonts of today.To make this possible,he invented the variable-width mold and perfected the mixture of materials used by type factories up to the present century.
4 Between 1450 and 1455,while preparing to produce a large Latin Bible,Gutenberg is thought to have printed a number of smaller books,a calendar and a papal Letter of Indulgence.The Bible of 42 lines,the oldest surviving printed book in the Western world,was completed by August 15,1456.
The invention of the modern printing press changed the way information was delivered. 5 Even today in the computer age,we rely heavily on the printed word or text for instruction,information and for the pleasure of reading literature.
A.In fact,this invention contributed a lot to educating the masses worldwide.
B.Before the spread of his idea,books were primarily handwritten.
C.Gutenberg made the world a much richer place.
D.It was in Strasbourg that he probably made his first experiments with moveable type and printing.
E.Gutenberg’s idea was one of the greatest of all human beings.
F.But he has certainly influenced your life in some ways.
G.By 1450,Gutenberg was back in Mainz at work on a printing press.
