film star in China.
Wang is the youngest child of a poor family in Hebei province. Dreaming of becoming an actor, he left
home at the age of 8 to study kung fu at Shaolin Temple, since kung-fu actors seemed to appear most often
on the big screen.
At 14, he moved to Beijing for his acting career for the first time, with little money in his pocket. He
worked at a construction site (建筑工地) for 20 to 25 yuan per day, and spent his free time standing in front
of the Beijing Film Studio, eager to be chosen as temporary (临时的) actors. This was the most difficult time
for the boy. His opportunity finally came one day after he went for a role in the movie"Blind Shaft". He was
chosen to play a young coal miner. The movie won him three prizes in Thailand, France and Taiwan. But his
success didn"t make any difference to his life.
That year, he went home for the Spring Festival. He gave his family his earnings from the movie, around
US$250 and then returned to Beijing with 500 yuan, the same amount he had when he first set foot in the city.
His life was as simple as before.
Thanks to his natural performance in"Blind Shaft," he was invited by the famous director Feng Xiaogang
to act in the film"A World Without Thieves" in 2004, which made him famous immediately. People called him
"Shagen," the name of his character in the movie.
Wang"s latest work,"Soldiers" Sortie" has made him the most popular actor on the Chinese mainland. For
the actor, it"s a dream coming true.
"Dreams come true. I think my life is exactly a course of pursuing (追求) dreams. No matter how tough
one thing is, I can make it as long as I put great effort into it," he said.

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

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.

him with time to write. By the time he was freed, he had published 14 stories and became well known as

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,

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.

a good living by selling supplies to the miners. At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth. 3_____
