　　George Bernard Shaw (1856—1950) was born in Dublin，the son of a civil servant.His education was irregular，due to his dislike of any organized training.After working in an estate agent's office for a while he moved to London as a young man (1876)，where he established himself as a leading music and theatre critic in the eighties and nineties.He began his literary career as a novelist; he decided to write plays in order to illustrate his criticism of the English stage.His earliest dramas were called appropriately Plays Pleasant and Unpleasant (1898)．Among these，Widower's Houses and Mrs.Warren's Profession heavily attack social hypocrisy.

　　In the plays of his later period discussion sometimes drowns the drama，in Back to Methuselah (1921)，although in the same period he worked on his masterpiece Saint Joan (1923)，in which he rewrites the well­known story of the French maiden and extends it from the Middle Ages to the present.

　　Other important plays by Shaw are Caesar and Cleopatra (1901)，and the Lion (1912)．In Major Barbara (1905)，one of Shaw's most successful discussion plays，the audience's attention is held by the power of the witty argumentation that man can achieve aesthetic salvation only through political activity，not as an individual.The Doctor's Dilemma (1906)，is really a comedy the humour of which is directed at the medical profession.Candida (1898)，with social attitudes toward sex relations as objects of his satire，and Pygmalion (1912)，a witty study of phonetics as well as a clever treatment of middle­class morality and class distinction，proved some of Shaw's greatest successes on the stage.It is a combination of the dramatic，the comic，and the social corrective that gives Shaw's comedies their special flavour.

　　Notes：

　　critic n．评论家　②hypocrisy n．伪善　③aesthetic salvation审美救赎

　　长短句分析：After working in an estate agent's office for a while he moved to London as a young man (1876)，where he established himself as a leading music and theatre critic (评论家) in the eighties and nineties.

　　On

　　September morning five years ago，a memory of his father came to Mayor Rudy Giuliani.In it，the Brooklyn plumber and bartender was telling his only child，“In a crisis，you have to become the calmest person in the room.”

　　Giuliani became more than that.His suit coated with ash from the wreckage，he stood firm，vowing that New Yorkers would show the world the meaning of courage.He comforted victims' families，attended funerals of police and firefighters，rallied his fellow citizens on radio and television.

　　He'd overcome hardships before，including a bitter，public end to his marriage，and a battle with prostate cancer.Alongside the terrifying challenges of 9/11，they're the kind of events that could break anyone's public and personal life.But Giuliani's resolve to success is stronger than ever，and now he is about to find out if his legacy of leadership endures.

　　After the coming midterm elections，he will decide whether to seek the Republican nomination for President in 2008，or whether to carry on with the business ventures he took up post­9/ll.Having spent years in public service—as a U．S.Attorney (lawyer) in New York，an Associate Attorney General during the Reagan Administration，and two terms as mayor of the Big Apple—Giuliani,62，is finally cashing_in.Chair and CEO of Giuliani Partners LLC，he's making millions

　　management consultant.He's also a law partner with Bracewell & Giuliani，and gives speeches that reportedly earn him $100,000 a pop.Still，he insists that his current work is about the challenge rather than the money.“Learning more about business，finance，how to straighten out organizations—that's very exciting to me，” he says.

　　But when he talks about public service，his intensity added.“I miss being involved in the most important things that are going on.When some crisis happens，you feel that's what you've been trained for，what you know how to do.”
