【解析】Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England, in 1942. He went to school at St. Albans. After leaving school, Hawking first went to Oxford University where he studied physics, and

then he went on studying in Cambridge University. As he himself admits, he didn't work hard. He was a lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good grades.

At the age of 20, he first noticed something was wrong with him. His mother was very worried and took him to see a doctor. He was taken to the hospital for exams. He had a very

serious illness. The doctor said he would die before he was 23.

At first, he became very sad and disappointed. After coming out of the hospital, he suddenly realized that life was beautiful. Later he found a job and had three children. He also

conducted some of the most important scientific studies.

Today, Hawking still works at Cambridge University as a professor. He believes that his story shows that nobody should lose hope. "Life is not fair, "he once said. "You just have to do

the best you can.”

【题目】Making friends is a skill like most skills. It improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some action. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home alone.

Joining a club or a group, talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activity.

Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about unknown. Most of our fears about dealing with new people comes from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us, finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are, and try to put the other person at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable.

Try to act self-confident even if you don’t feel that way. When you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile.

If you see someone you’d like to speak to, say something. Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.

Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person—friendship is based on mutual liking and “give and take”. It takes time and effort to develop.
