He was so young，but the doctors said to his family, “He has only two more years to live．"The doctors were wrong--he didn't die．He can't walk now but he uses a wheelchair．He talks with the help of a computer．After Oxford，Stephen went to Cambridge University．Three years later, in 1965，he became a doctor of philosophy（哲学）．
Because of his health problems，it was difficult for him to draw diagrams or to write, so he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking．he became one of the most famous scientists in the world．In 1981，he met the Pope（教皇）in Rome．They talked about his ideas．Then in l988，he wrote his first important book．A Brief History of Time《时间简史》．It sold more than 5.5 million copies（册）in 333 different languages．
