my lawful (合法的)wife, and literature is my lover." Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, was a great
playwright and one of the masters (大师) 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 (冷漠) 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 town 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 work combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity (敏感) 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 (《装在套子里的人》), about a school teacher"s extraordinarily orderly life, was selected
as a text for Chinese senior students.

his family in a house in Austin, Texas, which is now a museum. Visitors to Austin can see the house. It was
saved from destruction (破坏) and turned into a museum in1934. The museum is a good way to learn about
the interesting life of the American writer.
William Porter rented this house in Austin and lived there with his wife Athol and daughter Margaret for
about two years. Many objects in the museum belonged to the Porters. Others did not. An important piece in
the room is the original photograph over here. It was taken there in the house about 1895. The piano there goes
back to the 1860s. His wife took lessons on it when she first moved to Austin.
Porter did not start his career as a successful writer. He worked at a farm, land office and bank. He also
loved words and writing. The museum has a special proof (证明) of Porter"s love of language- his dictionary.
It is said that he had read every word in that dictionary.
Later William Porter was forced to leave Austin because he was charged (指控) with financial wrongdoing
at the bank and lost his job. Because he was afraid of a trail (审判), he left the country secretly. But he
returned because his wife was dying. After her death, he faced the trial and became a criminal. He served three
and a half years in a prison in Ohio.
William Porter would keep his time in prison a secret. But there was one good thing about it. It provided
him with time to write. By the time he was freed, he had published 14 stories and became well known as
O.Henry.

last eight years of his life.

engined aeroplane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather.
To make things worse, her altimeter (高度表) failed and she didn"t know how high she was flying. At night,

the sea.

alone, and she had set a record of fourteen hours and fifty-six minutes.

know the name of the man who invented the television, Philo Farnsworth.
Philo Farnsworth was born in 1906 and grew up on a potato farm. As a boy, he loved to learn about
science, and he read a lot of science books. When he was only thirteen years old, he drew a picture of a
machine that could send pictures as radio sends sounds. He got the idea from the way the potatoes were
planted in the field. The potatoes grew in long lines, side by side. This made a shape in Philo"s mind. This
shape helped Philo think of a way to send the TV picture onto a piece of glass. But he was poor, so Philo
could not try to make his idea into a machine at that time.
Later, Philo worked at many different jobs. He worked with trees. He worked on broken radios. He
worked on trains. He also worked as a street cleaner. At last, two rich men heard about his idea for television,
and they gave him the money to make it. On September 7th, 1927, they watched Philo test the machine he
built. When Philo turned on the machine, a small line could be seen on the glass. Philo said,"There you have it,
electric television."
Later, a big company, RCA, said they had made the first television. Philo had to spend a lot of money on
lawyers to fight them. Finally, he won. Then, World War Two started in 1939. During the war, Philo spent a
lot of money helping the US army instead of building up his television company. After the war, other bigger,
richer companies started making televisions. In the end, Philo had to sell his company.

Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today. Strauss" invention continues to be popular not only
among Americans but also among people around the world.
Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829. 2_____ He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New
York in 1847. Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his
brother"s dry goods business. This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention. After the gold rush
of 1949, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes.
Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals. Instead, he knew he could make
a good living by selling supplies to the miners. At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth. 3_____
When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets
during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners. These pants proved so popular
that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.
In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of
connecting pockets with copper rivets (铆钉). This made the pants last a long time. Because Davis did not have
the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent.
4_____.
By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion.
5_____ The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss" company is now one of the largest
clothing companies in the world.
B. Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.
C. He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since.
D. However, he did not get much business for those products.
E. He also made a great contribution to America"s clothing industry.
F. Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture.
G. As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it.
when John was six. He was reaching high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.
Fortunately (幸运地) he had a strong-willed, caring mother. John remembers that his mother told him
many times, "Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe." She told him not to be
dependent on others, including his mother. "You have to earn success," said she. "All the people who work
hard don"t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard."
These words came from a woman with less than a third-grade education.She worked hard as a cook for
two years to save enough money to take her son-then 15-to Chicago.
Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land (乐土) that black southerners were looking for. John"s
mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power
of words-as an editor (编辑) of the newspaper at Du Sable High School. His wish was to publish a magazine
for the blacks.
While others discouraged him, John"s mother offered him more words to live by: "Nothing beats a failure
but a try." She also let him pawn (典当) her furniture to get the $500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.
It is natural the difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always
keeps his mother"s words in mind: "Son, failure is not in your vocabulary." Now John H. Johnson is one of
the 400 richest people in America.
B. John"s father died in his hometown when John was very young
C. there were no high schools for the blacks in their hometown
D. John needed education and he could go to school there
B. a try is always followed by a failure
C. only by trying can you get out of failure
D. a failure is difficult to beat, even if you try
B. thought success only came from working hard
C. thought one could be whatever one wanted to be
D. believed one would succeed without working hard
B. Chicago was the promised land for the whites in 1933.
C. John"s father died in an accident during the war.
D. John"s mother was caring for him.
