Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St. Albans—a small city near London. Although he did well,he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics,and then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology (宇宙学). As he himself admitted he wasn't very serious about studying. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still achieved extremely good marks.

Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him at the age of 20. He started to bump into things, and often fell over for no reason. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his father was so worried that he was sent to hospital for a test. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neurone disease(运动神经元病),an incurable illness which causes the muscles of the body to waste away. Doctors said he would die before he was 23.

At first, Hawking became extremely depressed(忧郁的). After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, “Before my illness had been diagnosed(诊断),there had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital. I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do.” Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, where he still works today, and had three children. He also went to do some of the most important scientific research ever carried out.

His story shows that nobody, however bad their situation is, should lose hope. “Life is not fair,” he once said, “ You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.”

Visitors to Britain are sometimes surprised to learn that newspapers there have such a large circulation (发行 ). The “Daily Mirror “ and the “Daily express” both sell about four million copies everyday. British families generally buy a newspaper every morning and two or three on Sundays.

Building Trust in a Relationship Again

Trust (信任)is a learned behavior(习得行为) that we gain from past experiences(以往经历). 1.Trust is a risk.But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.

Unfortunately,we’ve all been victims of betrayal(背信).Whether we’ve been stolen from,lied被欺骗 to,misled被误导,or cheated on被哄骗,there are different levels of losing trust.Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore(有时候人们就是不能再信任别人). 2. It’s understandable(可理解的),but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship(人际关系) again,we have some steps you can take to get you there.

3. Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome结果 would be for your well-being幸福.

4.If you’ve been betrayed(如果你遭遇了背叛),you are the victim(受害者) of your circumstance(客观环境).But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”(“受害者的心态”).At some point in all of our lives,we’ll have our trust tested or violated. 被破坏

You didn’t lose “everything”.Once trust is lost,what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle角度,look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.5.Instead,it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room余地 for positive growth and forgiveness(宽恕).

A.Learn to really trust yourself.

B.It is putting confidence in someone(对某人寄托信任).

C.Stop regarding yourself as the victim.

D.Remember that you can expect the best in return.

AB.They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again. .(他们曾经受过严重伤害,不能容忍这种事情再次发生。)

AC.This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.

AD.Seeing the positive(积极的) side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring(忽视) what happened.
