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. Chekhovs 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 people 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 Chekhovs stories and plays. He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing dramas within his characters. Chekhovs works bine the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity(敏感) of an artist.Some of Chekhovs works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s. One of his famous stories, The Man in a Shell, which is about a school teachers extraordinarily orderly life, was selected as a text for Chinese senior students.1.Which of the following is the right order of the events?a.became a doctorb.became a full-time writerc.started to publish ic short storiesd.wrote regularly for a local daily newspapere.entered the Moscow University Medical SchoolA.ecbad B.ecadb C.dabce D.aedcb2.Anton Pavlovich Chekhov .A.was a petent doctorB.had a lawful loverC.used to be a lawyerD.is an illegal writer3.In 1880, Chekhov .A.became a full-time writerB.published his most memorable storiesC.studied in Moscow UniversityD.practiced medicine in his hometown4.Which of the following adjectives cant be used to describe Chekhov?A.Sensitive.
