【题目】Arthur Miller （1915-2005） is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. Miller’s father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, attracted like so many others by the “Great American Dream”. However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early l930s.

Miller’s most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as symbol of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sympathy: if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.

When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.

It was Grandpa’s birthday party. It was not easy to have his children and grandchildren all back home together. so they just busied themselves in playing their cellphones, totally ignored their grandpa, who let in a deep sigh and left the party.

There is no doubt whether cellphones have a negative impact on our lives. Heavy use of cellphones actually widen the distance between teenagers and their elders, leaving the elders more lonely. Worsely still, addiction to cellphones might also lead to teenagers’ poor performance at school, which adds up to elders’ worries.

As far as I was concerned, it’s necessary to limit the time we spend using cellphones. And I attach great importance to communicate with our family members face to face, which helps build a harmony family atmosphere.
