Why did he change his decision
Lu Xun.
When Lu Xun was 15, traditional Chinese medicine failed to cure his father’s illness, so he made a decision to study Western medicine and become a doctor. But later, he made a decision to abandon his medical studies and take up writing.
Because he realised that the people in China were more in need of treatment for their minds than their bodies.The most important thing, in his mind, was to change people’s spirit, and the best way to achieve this was through literature.

Compare and Contrast比较与对比：常用的段落扩展方法。比较：侧重谈论对象的相似之处；对比：侧重不同之处。比较与对比文章的组织方法：逐点式和先此后彼式。
逐点式：把要比较的两个事物分成几个方面，逐个比较或对比。符号表示：A1, B1, A2, B2, A3, B3……A、B表示两个要比较的事物，数字代表每个事物的不同方面。
先此后彼式：先整体说明第一个事物，后使用连接词过渡到对第二个事物的整体介绍。符号表示：A1, A2, A3……；B1, B2, B3……
本文就采用了先此后彼的组织方法。文章第一段通过情景描述法引入本文的话题——人们对未来的好奇甚至担忧；第二段导入了比较与对比对象——海明威和柯南·道尔；

Compare and Contrast
TEXTUAL KNOWLEDGE
第三、四、五段分别通过比较和对比介绍了两位作家的相似之处(对写作的热爱)和不同的成名之路；文章最后通过对比二人不同的经历，再次告诉读者，我们无法预知自己的未来，但可作好应对未来的准备。
连接性词语在比较与对比文章中起着重要的作用，掌握后可以自如地在要比较和对比的事物中来回转换，如第四段By contrast 就清晰地表明作者结束了对海明威的介绍，转而分析柯南·道尔的成名之路。
常用此类标记性词语：比较: like, so, too, still, in common with, both ... and ..., also, just like, seem like 等；对比: unlike, while, yet, vary, opposite, differ, differences, distinct, distinguish ... from ..., instead (of), (rather) than, the difference is ... 等。
Now read the sentence from the passage and answer the questions.
So, whatever twists and turns you might encounter, take a leaf out of the books of these two authors and be prepared for the unexpected.
What is your understanding of“take a leaf out of the books”
What effect is the author aiming to achieve by using it
What other expressions do you know that share the same meaning
What is your understanding of“take a leaf out of the books”
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.
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 (修辞手法), and perhaps to end with a lighter note by using a pun.
pun
an amusing use of a word or phrase that has two meanings, or of words that have the same sound but different meanings (利用有两重含义的词或同音异义词的) 双关语，语义双关的俏皮话
What other expressions do you know that share the same meaning
follow somebody’s example
take a page from somebody
follow suit
…
Post-reading
What is your understanding of Steve Jobs’s words at the end of the passage
“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.”
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.
What can you learn about facing the future from the two authors
What will you do to prepare yourself for the future
Creative thinking
Emotional intelligence (EQ)
Critical thinking
Judgment and decision making
Interpersonal communication skills
Embracing change
Team work spirits
On the way to success, we should get prepared for the unexpected and something may not turn out as planned.
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.
