Hawking was perhaps the most famous scientist in the world when he died in 2018 at age 76.His 1988 book，A Brief History of Time，sold ten million copies and made him an unlikely superstar even to people who sweated through high school science.

Humor was always a big part of Hawking’s effort to bring physics to the masses.In his 2010 book，The Grand Design，for instance，he recounts how，in 1277，the Catholic Church declared scientific laws such as gravity to be wrong，since they seemed against God's idea.“Interestingly，”the text adds jokingly，“Pope John was killed by the effects of the law of gravity a few months later when the roof of his palace fell in on him.”

Hawking was only 21 when he was diagnosed with the disease ALS.For most people，the condition would have been a disaster.But Hawking rolled over hardship as if it were just a pebble under his wheelchair.“Life would be tragic，”he once said，“if it weren’t funny.”He kept smiling even though he spent more than 50 years in a wheelchair.

“He loved adventure and fun，”says Mlodinow，who once took Hawking on a punt-boat trip down the fiver Cam in Cambridge，England，despite the obvious danger of the boat turning over.“You know about when he went on the Vomit Comet? It’s a plane that flies in a parabolic(抛物线的)path so you are weightless，like you are in space.A lot of people vomit，but he loved that sort of thing.”And he was 65 at the time.

Hawking’s greatest hit，humor-wise，was probably the cocktail party he threw in 2009.It was a“welcome reception for future time travelers，”he said，so naturally，he sent out the invitations the day after the party.No one showed up yet.“Maybe one day someone living in the future will find the information and use a wormhole time machine to come back to my party，proving that time travel will one day be possible，”Hawking explained.And if that happens，don’t be surprised if Hawking is there too.After all，he never missed a chance to have fun.

1.What does the text mainly tell us about Hawking?

A. He related physics to humor closely.

B. He made great contributions to physics.

C. He went through many funny experiences.

D. He was optimistic about the future of science.

2.What can we learn about Pope John?

A. He was not in favor of God.

B. He was a scientist like Hawking.

C. He was opposed to the law of gravity.

D. He was killed due to the discovery of gravity.

3.What drove Hawking to go on the Vomit Comet?

A. His fondness of adventure.

B. The invitation from his friend.

C. The requirements of his work.

D. His desire for recovery from ALS.

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. The cocktail party was a great success.

B. The possibility of time travel was not proved.

C. Hawking was a man who enjoyed holding parties.

D. The wormhole time machine was used at that time.

Stephen Hawking was both one of the world's most famous scientists and most famous disabled people. His life was a juxtaposition of sparkling intellect and failing body. Prof Hawking was diagnosed with a rare form of motor neurone(运动神经元) diseases when he was 21.

The nerves that controlled his muscles were failing and he became trapped in his body, but his mind was still free. He reached the height of his field while being a wheelchair user.

Professor Hawking certainly raised awareness of motor neurone diseases. One of his major contributions to disability in general was simply being visible---often at a time when disabled voices were missing from popular culture. He made small-screen appearances on The Simpsons, Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory. His life was dramatised (将…改成剧本)by the BBC and in the film The Theory of Everything.

Steve Bell, from the MND association, said: "He was probably the most famous person with a physical disability and it almost normalises it to see his absolute genius. I think it affected a lot of people, seeing he's more than a trapped body. The public's view of disability has changed.

But Prof Hawking’s life was exceptional. He lived five decades longer than doctors expected. Many others with motor neurone diseases die in the years after diagnosis. He was a theoretical physicist. His laboratory was in the mind; his scientific equipment was mathematics.

Prof Hawking was able to continue to pursue his career in a way that would have been much harder in other scientific disciplines and impossible in many other professions. It remains an open question how much he would have achieved if he was disabled from birth rather than after graduating with a first at Oxford. Today, disabled people are more than twice as likely to be unemployed than people without disability. Prof Hawking 's only advice on disability was to focus on what could be achieved. "My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn’t prevent you doing well, and don 't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit, as well as physically,” he said in an interview with the New York Times.

1.What does the underlined word juxtaposition in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.Combination. B.Trouble.

C.Difficulty. D.Mess.

2.How did Hawking raise awareness of motor neurone diseases?

A.By trying not to get trapped by the disease.

B.By making the voice of the disabled heard.

C.By making people be used to the small screen.

D.By working for the BBC and film companies.

3.What did Steve Bell think of Hawking?

A.He was the most well-known person.

B.He was affected greatly by many people.

C.He changed people's view of disabled people.

D.His physical disability affected his mind.

4.What's Hawking’ s tip to disabled people?

A.Try to find a job and don't be unemployed.

B.Don't ignore your health.

C.Stick to the goals that you can reach.

D.Don’t think you are physically disabled.
