A qualified doctor who rarely practiced 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 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 (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, about a school teacher’s extraordinarily orderly life, was selected as a text for Chinese senior students.

The young boy was sitting on the ground in the refugee(难民) camp playing with an empty tin. Other children were standing around watching him with envious eyes.
Envy? Of an empty tin?
This tin was indeed no worthless piece of trash—it was a splendid truck, complete with wheels and grille(铁栅) and floor. The vehicle even had remote control, a frayed piece of string from the “engine” to the hand of the owner.
The tin had lost all its original markings. But its first load had probably been sardines(沙丁鱼). Later the tin had been left with other rubbish behind the refugee camp clinic, and the boy had found it on one of his daily expeditions into the “big world”.
For thousands of refugee children, a tin 1ike this rates high on their list of wants. It can be used for many purposes, as jewellery, as a toy, for drinking or as a medicine box.
Many refugee children would consider it the happiest day of their lives if they received a handful of marbles(弹珠) as a present.
They dream of gifts which children in developed countries take for granted．Maybe a book to read, or a pencil and an exercise book of their very own.
Their imagination can create toys，but it cannot create books．Someone else must provide them．A more costly and valuable gift they cannot imagine.
1.How do you think the young boy may feel when he gets something to read?
A. depressed. B. frustrated.
C. excited. D. frightened.
2.Other children envied the young boy because the boy ________.
A．had something to play with
B．got some sardines to eat
C．received a handful of marbles
D．had a real truck toy
3.What is implied in the last paragraph of the text?
A．The society should donate(捐) some toys for the refugee children.
B．The refugee children are more imaginative rather than creative.
C．The refugee children are more creative rather than imaginative.
D．The society should offer the refugee children things for study.
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．An Enviable Toy Present B. Sardine Tin—A Precious Toy

Dolphins (海豚) are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this way they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time — at least twenty or thirty years.
Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.
Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.
There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area－except for The Penguin.
Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.
1.By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that ________.
A. people are cruel to animals
B. dolphins are friendly and clever
C. Jack is different from other dolphins
D. dolphins should be protected by law
2.Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they ________.
A. live in groups B. have their own language
C. are warm-blooded D. have large brains
3.Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?
A. Its mouth. B. Its ears.
C. Its nose. D. Its eyes.
4.Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?
A. They wanted his help.
B. They enjoyed playing with him.
C. He was seriously wounded.
D. He was lonely and liked to be with people

There are too many cars in our town now. For a result, there are lots of traffic jams, and the air which we will breathe is terrible. Our town is very old but all the streets are quite narrow, so there is no room for bus lanes, which mean that buses always get stuck in the traffic jams, too. However, lots of accidents with cyclists often happen because of crowded street. But I think there is a simple solution of these problems. The government should close city center to all traffic except buses and bikes, and build very larger car parks outside the town. Car drivers can take a bus into the city center and arrive at work or the shops relaxing and in a good mood.
在短文空白处填写适当的词（每空不多余3个词）或所给词的正确形式。
