Ernest Hemingway was an American novelist and short-story writer who came to literary prominence following the First World War, as a member of the so-called “Lost Generation” in the 1920s. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.
Ernest Hemingway
(1899-1961)
He had an understated prose style and a restrained method of exposition, which he termed the “iceberg theory” (because he believed that a great deal could be understood in a narration even if it was deliberately unmentioned). His most famous novels include The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Old Man and the Sea.
Arthur Conan Doyle was a Scottish author, best known for his Sherlock Holmes stories. Doyle trained as a doctor initially, though several efforts to establish himself in the practice of medicine all ended in failure. By contrast, after a rough start, his innovative crime fiction featuring Sherlock Holmes became a great success. Although the public adored Sherlock Holmes, Doyle himself felt that the character was a distraction from his other literary ambitions, which included historical novels, plays, poems, and academic papers.
None of Doyle’s other writing ever achieved close to the success of the Holmes material, however. Holmes and his assistant, Dr Watson, remain popular characters across the world today.
Arthur Conan Doyle
(1859-1930)

Answer the questions.
1. What is possibly the most important concern in life
The most important concern in life is possibly the future.
2. What is the relationship between one’s plans and the future
Sometimes one’s plans may have a great influence on the future, but having plans in place for the future is no guarantee that they will become reality.
3. What did Hemingway do to achieve his ambition to become a writer
On leaving high school, Ernest Hemingway joined a local Kansas newspaper as a trainee reporter. He went on to become foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star and used his extraordinary experiences in Europe and later Cuba to inform his writing.
4. What was Doyle’s main writing ambition
Doyle’s main ambition was to become a writer of historical novels.
5. Why was Doyle disappointed with the success of his Holmes stories
He was disappointed because he still longed to become known for his historical novels amongst other academic works but the readers loved his Holmes stories better.
6. What can you do when faced with uncertainty about the future
Be prepared for the unexpected and trust that what you are doing now will somehow connect in your future.

1. What is your understanding of “take a leaf out of the books”
One possible answer:
In my opinion, it means that you can copy the way someone else behaves because you want to be like them or be as successful as they are.
2. What effect is the author aiming to achieve by using it
The author aims to maintain the reader’s interest by using this figure of speech, and perhaps to end with a lighter note by using a pun.
3. What other expressions do you know that share the same meaning
Students’ own answers.

3. What will you do to prepare yourself for the future
4. Do you know any stories about Chinese writers and their plans for the future What lessons can you learn from their experiences Share your opinions with the class.
1. What is your understanding of Steve Jobs’s words at the end of the passage
You cannot make sense of your life by looking forward, because the future has not happened yet, and the meaning of future events is therefore uncertain. However, once future events have occurred, you may be able to see how they fit into the pattern of your life. Things which you did not expect to be important may turn out to be very important. You must face the future by believing that everything will work out in the end, and that your life will make sense and have meaning.
2. What can you learn about facing the future from the two authors
One possible answer:
What the future will be like is uncertain. We should work hard on the goal we’ve set but at the same time be prepared for the unexpected.
3. What will you do to prepare yourself for the future
One possible answer:
Set a clear goal and make the most of the time and chances to work hard on it. Meanwhile, prepare myself for the unexpected in the future.
4. Do you know any stories about Chinese writers and their plans for the future What lessons can you learn from their experiences
One possible answer:
The Chinese writer Mo Yan, who has won the Nobel Prize for literature, used to be a naughty boy. When he was in Grade Three, he read some novels and these novels aroused his passion for literature. Then he gradually went further on the road to create literature works.
1. Summarize what you’ve learnt today;
2. Search the Internet to know more about the two authors and some famous Chinese writers.
