     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,drawn

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.

     Millers' 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 indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has

got into trouble with his worth. Willy is "burnt out" and in the cruel world of business there

is no room for sentiment: 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 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.

     Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February

10,2005,the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.

Thousands of teenagers will be able to move to a new wave of “studio schools” at the age of 14 to improve their chances of finding a job in UK. Twelve new-style schools are open to act as a bridge to the workplace and cut the number of NEETs.

Under plans, schools will operate longer days and work outside standard school terms.

Each teenager will be expected to spend between four hours and two days a week on work placements with business related to the school and a personal coach will be sent to the teenagers to act as a school “line manager”.

The reforms (改革) are put forward because of the fears that too many teenagers are finishing full-time education at present but they are short of the skills needed to succeed in the workplace. According to a recent report, more than two thirds of employers (雇主) believe school and college leavers have less important employability skills, while 55% say they are unable to manage their time or daily routine. And the number of NEETs who are not in education has hit a record high, with almost one-in-five young people being left without a job or a training place.

The Department for Education will tell the public the building of 12 studio schools – providing for around 3,600 teenagers – in areas such as Liverpool, Stevenage, Stock-on-Trent and Fulham, west London. Each one will be connected to the local employers. Under plans, teenagers will be able to move out of ordinary schools to attend them between the ages of 14 and 19.

The government said all subjects would be taught “through projects, often prepared with employers” – with rules such as science being connected directly to local engineering companies or hospitals. Schools will operate a longer day to give teenagers a better understanding of the needs of the workplace. Along with their studies, students will carry out work placements for four hours a week, rising to two days a week of paid work for those aged 16 to 19. They will also get the chance to take professional qualifications (专业资历) connected directly to the needs of local employers.
