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．

As is often the case, when people are attending to meetings, having meals or waiting for buses, you can always find them addicting to their phones, completely ignoring others．
This is really a common phenomena in our life．The reason is why smart phones nowadays can be used for people to play mobile games and kept in touch with friends through QQ and WeChat．Therefore, too much exposure to phones are bad for people in terms of health．Moreover, people involved in phones fail to communicate well with these around them．
As far as I am concerned, people should wisely make use of their phones to help their work and study．Meanwhile, care much about their family and friends rather than mobile phones．
