Stephen Hawking was born in 1942．He's a world famous scientist and expert on space and time．
Stephen is trying to find the answers to some very big questions, such as：How did the universe begin? How will it end?
Stephen studied math and science when he was a student at university．Then，at the age of twenty, he became very ill. 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．

30、I knocked into a man as he passed by．“Oh，excuse me，please．”I said．He replied，“Please excuse me．too．I didn’t notice where I was going．”
Later that day，while I was cooking，my son stood behind me quietly．When I turned around，I nearly knocked him down．“Move out of the way．”I shouted．He walked away with his little heart broken，
That night while I was lying in bed．a voice came to me，“When saying to that man，you used good manners．But to the child you love，you seemed to act in a bad way．Look at the kitchen floor，and you’ll find some flowers there by the door．Those are the flowers your son brought for you．He picked them himself．He stood quietly to give you a surprise，and you never saw the tears（眼泪）in his eyes．”
By this time，tears began to run down my face．I took the flowers and went to his bed．I asked him，“Are these the flowers you picked for me?”
He smiled．“I found them by the tree．I picked them because they’re pretty like you．I know you’d like them．”
“Son．I’m sorry for the way I acted today．I shouldn’t have shouted at you that way．”
“Oh，Morn。that’s OK．I love you anyway．”
“Son，I love you too．And I do like the flowers．”
If we die tomorrow．the family we leave behind will feel sad for the rest of their life．Why don’t we spend more time with your family．and why aren’t we nice to them?

28、A lot of books for learning English discuss problems of the modern world：pollution，too much traffic．Venice（威尼斯）has some of these problems．But the city has its own problems．For example，there are no cars in Venice，and very few people can drive．The traffic problem is caused by the boats．They go too fast and make the water damage the buildings．
Every year，between April and September，the water covers a lot of places the city．It goes into all the shops which are on the ground floor．And，of course，into people’s houses．In November 1979，the water rose more than a metre above the normal（正常的）level．This happened every day for a whole week．On some days，it happened twice．
People in Venice usually wear rubber boom（胶鞋）．In some places，there are high platforms（平台）to walk along．Sometimes offices have to close because the water can damage computers and machines．And，of course，it is terrible for old people．
Other problems in Venice are caused by too many tourists in summer．They move in large groups，and boats usually get very crowded．Prices in the hotels and restaurants arc often high．
However，people still think Venice is a good place to live in because it is a human city．
1．Why can very few people in Venice drive?
2．What happens from April to September every year?
3．How high was water in November 1979?
4．Why are boats very crowded in summer?

（C） ______to smile more．When you smile，people think you are friendly and easy to talk to．Remember that other people have feelings too and（D）people will stay way from an angry-looking face．
Learn to be a good talker．If you find（E）it hard to start a conversation，say something nice about the people round you．Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you．Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Put your attention away from yourself．Think more about ways to enjoy the party or the game．Don’t waste time worrying about your looks or whether people like you or not．
Take one small step at a time．Each time after you say“hi”or smile at someone for the first time，say to yourself“I did it”!Or reward yourself with something bigger，like buying yourself an ice cream．
Keep trying and one day（F）你将不再害羞when you talk to other people．
