The world has lost one of its brightest stars, British physicist(物理学家) Stephen Hawking died on March 14 , at the age of 76.
Hawking is probably the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He is an expert on black holes . He has devoted his whole life to digging into the beginning and the end of the universe. “My goal is simple,” Hawking once said. “It is to completely understand the universe(宇宙), why it is as it is and why it is there at all.”
Hawking’s achievements are even greater if you think about his
disability（残疾）. When he was 21, Hawking caught a bad illness that slowly stopped him from moving or talking. For a period of time, he had no way to communicate except by blinking(眨眼). Later he sat on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moved two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He selected his words from the screen, which were then spoken by a voice synthesizer(音响合成器).
“I have had the disease for most of my life,” Hawking once said, “Yet
it has not stopped me from being successful at my work.”
Though Hawking was a disabled man , he made great achievements . He received many awards and prizes
for his work during his lifetime. This included winning the Albert Einstein Award, which stands for the highest achievement in theoretical(理论的) physics.
Despite the fact that he is no longer with us, his legacy （遗赠）will surely live on. As Sajid Javid, a UK
government minister, put it, “A brief history on Earth; an eternity（永恒的） in the stars.”
21. From the text we can learn________. A. Hawking is more famous than Einstein.
B. Hawking is less famous than Einstein. C. Both Hawking and Einstein are very famous. D. Neither Hawking nor Einstein is famous.
22. What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph mean? A. The universe. C. The goal.
B. The earth.
D. The black hole.
23. According to the text, which of the following statements is the fact? A. Hawking received many awards and prizes except the Albert Einstein Award. B. The illness kept him from moving and talking. C. He communicated with others by speaking. D. The illness stopped him from being successful. B
There was a boy in India who was sent by his parents to a boarding school(寄宿学校). Before being sent away this boy was the brightest student in his class. He was at the top in every competition. He was a champion.
But the boy changed after leaving home and attending the boarding school. His grades started dropping. He hated being in a group. He was lonely all the time. And there were especially dark times when he felt like killing himself. All of this was because he felt worthless and that no one loved him.
His parents started worrying about the boy. But even they did not know what was wrong with him. So his dad decided to travel to the boarding school and talk with him.
They sat on the bank of the lake near the school. The father started asking him casual questions about his classes, teachers and sports. After some time his dad said, “Do you know son, why I am here today?”
The boy answered back, “to check my grades?”
