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 works 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.

(答案→)D 解析：【小题1】C 细节题。根据文章第一段和文章第三段Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my lover.Chekhov’s medical and science experience can be seen through说明他曾经做过医生。故C正确。【小题2】B 细节题。根据第二段When Chekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879, he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family.说明在1879年以后他在学医，同时也开始了写作，故在1880年他应该是在大学中学习医学。故B正确。【小题3】D 推理题。根据文章倒数第三段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.说明在他的作品中冷漠与痛苦是主题，故D项热心的表达不正确。【小题4】A 排序题，通读全文可知先去学医，学医的同时开始写作品，成为了医生，为当地的报纸写文章；最后成为一位专职作家。故A的顺序正确。
