JeawGilles was a millionaire.But Tuesday night,he was sleeping in his car.
Jean-Gilles was the owner of the Peace of Mind Hotel in Jacrnel,Haiti, a three-story,30-room building in a quiet tropical valley on Haiti’s southern coast,25 miles from the noises of the capital,Port-au-Prince. Jean-Gilles and his wife,Marie,lived in an apartment on the property,close enough to watch carefully over the guest rooms,conference rooms and restaurant,close enough that they know the first name of every guest.
After the 7.0-earthquake hit at 4:57 pm on Jan.12,2010,they slept in their aging Isuzu,parked in the hotel driveway.
Jean-Gilles figured a second was the difference between life and death when the earthquake struck.He was working in a ground-floor conference room and first heard,then felt the quake.He asked his electrician.Rob-elTle St.Louis, who was working nearby,what was happening.
“Get out.Now.Get out.Now.”St.Louis said.
Jean-Gilles cleared the falling structure by a mere second,he estimated.His wife,who was working in the couple’s apartment on the second floor,wasn’t able to get clear.People nearby heard her screams after the shaking stopped and removed the building blocks around her by hand.She was shaken and scratched, but walked away from the ruins.
“I am alive.God is good.”she repeated over and over on Saturday.
The Peacc of Mind Hotel was a dream which had come true for Jean-Gilles,57,and Marie,59. Born in Port–au-Prince, they moved to the United States shortly after meeting 34 years ago. Together, they owned a beauty supply store in Jersey City, New Jersey, and invested in real estate. In 2003, they cashed out their US investments, returned to Haiti and began building the peace of Mind Hotel, looking to make a future for themselves and the people of their homeland.

Stephen William Hawking was born on January 8th, 1942 in Oxford, England. His parents’ house was in North London, but during the Second World War Oxford was considered a safer place to have babies. When he was eight, his family moved to St Albans. At eleven Stephen went to St. Albans School, and then on to University College, Oxford, his father’s old college. Stephen wanted to do math, although his father would have preferred medicine. Math was not available at University College, so he did physics instead. 
Stephen then went on to Cambridge to do research in Cosmology (宇宙论). After gaining his Ph.D. (哲学博士)he became first a Research Fellow, and later on a Professorial Fellow at Gonville and Caius College. After leaving the Institute of Astronomy in 1973, Stephen came to the Department of Applied Math and Theoretical Physics (理论物理), and since 1979 has held the post of Lucasian Professor of math.
Stephen Hawking has worked on the basic laws which rule the universe. With Roger Penrose he showed that Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity implied space and time would have a beginning in the Big Bang and an end in black holes. These results show it was necessary to unify(统一)General Relativity with Quantum Theory (量子论). One result of such a unification that he discovered was that black holes should not be completely black, but should give off radiation and disappear in the end.
59. Which of the following is NOT suitable for describing Stephen Hawking?
A. He once studied at the same college that his father studied at.
B. At one time he did research in Cosmology in Oxford. 
C. He preferred math to medicine at college.
D. He contributed to the unification of General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Theory.
60. The underlined word “available” in the first paragraph probably means “________”.
A. able to be had              B. allowed to study   
C. easy to understand           D. limited to learn
61. Why did Stephen Hawking’s parents move to Oxford from North London?
A. Because they liked it better than North London.
B. Because there was a world-famous university there.
C. Because they were tired of living in North London.
D. Because it was safer to give birth to a baby in Oxford.
62. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Einstein and Stephen Hawking
B. Big Bang, a great theory 
C. Stephen Hawking, a great British scientist
D. The unification of two theories
