George Bernard Shaw，the greatest and funniest British dramatist(剧作家) of the first half of the 20th century，was born in Dublin，Ireland，on July 26,1856.His early life was not happy.His father was an selfish man who drank too much and could not support his family properly.His mother was a disappointed，unhappy woman who found more pleasure in studying music than in her children.Shaw and his two sisters received little love and attention from their mother while they were young.At the age of ten，Shaw entered school.At first he was the best student，but soon he was at or near the bottom of his class.
