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.

Avoid“Must Thinking”. Let’s go off the idea that you must do something in a certain way-for example,“I must get a great score on a test, or else.”This thought pattern only adds to the stress you’ll feel. Judge your situation calmly, and not as a“life-or-death”situation.
Watch the Mess(杂乱). Don’t study in a messy or a crowded area. Clear yourself a nice, open space that’s free of distraction(注意力分散).
Set Manageable Goals. Break large projects into smaller and practical parts. You’ll feel a positive(积 极的)sense of achievement as you finish each part.
Ocean Dumping. Imagine yourself walking on a beautiful beach, carrying a sand pail(桶)Stop at a good spot and put your worries into the pail. Drop the pail and watch as it floats away into the ocean.
Think Good Thoughts. Make a set of good but brief affirmation(肯定)and repeat them to yourself just before you fall asleep at night. You will feel much better in the morning.
Imagine Yourself Succeeding. Close your eyes and remember a real life situation in which you did well. Imagine facing your stressful situation with the same feeling of success.
