Unit 5 Poems课时作业(十四) Unit 5Section ⅡLearning About LanguageⅠ.阅读理解AA qualified doctor who rarely practised but instead devoted his life to writing once said, “Medicine is my lawful wife and literature is my lover.” Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a great playwright (剧作家) and one of the masters of the modern short story.When Chekhov entered the Medical School of Moscow University 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 produced a short story in an hour or less. Chekhov's medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference many of his characters show to tragic (悲惨的) events. I n 1892, he became a full­time writer and published some of his most memorable stories.Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of civilians in small towns of Russia. Tragic events controlled his characters who were 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 works combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity 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.1．Anton Pavlovich Chekhov ________.A．had a lawful loverB．wrote only short storiesC．used to be a lawyerD．was a capable doctor2．In 1880, Chekhov ________.A．became a full­time writerB．studied medicine in Moscow UniversityC．practiced medicine in his hometownD．published his most memorable stories3．According to the passage, which of the following words can't be used to describe Chekhov?A．Sensitive.

Baby shower (婴儿洗礼) poems can have rhythm and rhyme, but they certainly don'thave to. Poems can be either long or short, but short poems are probably best for your typical baby shower needs. You can add a little humor as well!The people who are most often touched by baby shower poems are those who have had children themselves. Sweet poems can remind them of the time when their little ones were still young. No one will appreciate them more than the family members themselves. If you are a creative writer or have a special talent for putting words together in a special way, then you should try writing your own baby shower poems. This would make a great gift idea as well.If you decide to write your own baby poems, even common things can inspire you. Inspiration can be found anywhere. Look back on your own memories from the past. What was special about your childhood? What special object have you treasured over the years? What words of wisdom (智慧) could you pass on to the next generation? Look around the house and imagine a baby being there. What do you see, hear, or feel? Let those thoughts be the sources of your best baby poems.When writing a baby poem, you do not have to write like Shakespeare, and you just have to be sincere. Years later when the baby has grown, think of how special they will feel knowing the words were just for them.If you are not the creative type—don't worry! There are lots of places online where you can look for poems saying just the things you want to say.
