Stephen Hawking, the most famous physicist of his time, has passed away at the age of 76.
A family spokesman said Hawking, who was British, died peacefully early Wednesday at his home in Cambridge, England. Hawking was known worldwide for working to explain subjects like the beginnings of the universe and the complexities of black holes. He was diagnosed with a disease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, at age 21. At the time, doctors predicted he would only live a few years. But he proved them wrong by surviving for more than 50 years more and continuing his scientific work.
In his 2013 book, ''My Brief History'', Hawking wrote about first learning of the illness: ''I felt it was very unfair - why should this happen to me? '' He added: ''At the time, I thought my life was over and that I would never realize the potential I felt I had. '' ''But now, 50 years later, I can be quite satisfied with my life, '' he wrote.
A sign of his being admired came in October 2017, when Cambridge put Hawking's 1966 thesis on the internet for the first time. Demand for the thesis was so high that it caused the university's website to go down.
Hawking said belief in a God who intervenes(介入) in the universe ''to make sure the good guys win or get rewarded in the next life'' was wishful thinking. ''But one can't help asking the question: Why does the universe exist? '' he said in 1991. ''I don't know an operational way to give the question or the answer, if there is one, a meaning. But it bothers me. ''
Hawking was a big supporter of human space travel to the Moon and Mars. He said such missions would help unite humanity in a shared purpose of spreading the human race beyond Earth. ''We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds. It is time to explore other solar systems. Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that humans need to leave the Earth, '' he said last year.
1.What is Hawking's attitude towards life when just diagnosed with ALS?
A.Optimistic. B.Hopeless.
C.Disappointed. D.Confident.
2.What bothered Hawking?
A.The beginning of the universe.
B.The intervene of God in the universe.
C.The rewards that good people get in the next life.
D.The crash of the Internet.
3.Why is Hawking in favor of human space travel to other solar systems?
A.Because we have used up all the space.
B.Because we have explored the Moon and Mars for a long time.
C.Because it can help spread the human race beyond Earth.
D.Because it is a way to save the Earth.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Stephen Hawking Is Recognized for His Research on Black Holes
B.Stephen Hawking Supports Human Space Travels
C.Stephen Hawking Is a Worldwide Famous Physicist
D.Famous Physicist Stephen Hawking Died at 76

Retired judge Davison hated all the quiet. Evy, his wife of 66 ears, had passed away, and he was lonely and sad in the months after her death. But he knew how to beat those feelings; he decided to build a pool.
Davison contacted a family-run company in Hopkins, Minnesota, that had built a pool for his previous house 40 years ago. “They did such a great job before and were still in business, so they came out and planned it,” Davison said.
Kevin, who works on new pools for the company, helped Davison with everything, from initial planning and completing contracts back in March to teaching him how to filter the water once the pool was finish in July.
“If You build it, they will come,” he thought. He invited all the neighborhood kids over to swim. Now it’s not so quiet anymore.
He hears the sounds of laughter and splashing as he sits on a chair in the shade, watching happy children play in his backyard.
“I knew they’d come.” 94-yvear-old Davison told KARE-TV.
Neighbor Jessica thought the judge was joking when he talked about putting in a pool until she saw the work starting. Now she and her four kids have been regulars since the pool was finished in July.
“It’s him spreading joy throughout our neighborhood for these kids.” Jessica said.
Davison’s pool includes a diving board and reaches nine feet in the deep end under the board. It’s especially welcome in a town that doesn’t have a public outdoor pool.
Although Davison has three adult children, he doesn’t have any grandchildren.
Jessica says she’s told him, “You kind of adopted our whole neighborhood of kids. These are your grandkids.”
The judge’s rules require that a parent or grandparent stay while the children are swimming. Once the kids leave. he likes to swim, too.
Davison tells KARE-TV that he realizes that putting in the pool didn’t make a lot of financial (经济的) sense for an old man. But that didn’t matter to him.
“I’m not sitting by myself looking at the walls.” he says. “What else would you think of doing where you could have a whole bunch of kids over every afternoon?” The 94-year-old judge now hears laughter all day as he watches children splash in his backyard pool.
1.Why did Davison build a swimming pool?
A.To remember his dead wife. B.To earn some money for a living.
C.To fight against his loneliness. D.To please the kids in the neighborhood.
2.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The neighborhood children. B.His three adult children.

A.They shall wear life jackets. B.They shall be in company with the adults.
C.They shall receive some training. D.They shall get their parents’ permission.
4.What can we learn from the story?
A.Action speaks louder than words.

D.One’s search for happiness brings others great joy.

Our daughter Alissa passed away after a battle with a simple flu in August 2006 at 25. Due to the illness along with her birth, she grew to only 4 feet and 9 inches tall and had pneumonia every two months. However, Alissa had a great fighting spirit and handled those obstacles with strength and courage.

Sandeep Mukerji was on his first visit to Thailand but would leave the “Land of Smiles” with a frown and an empty pocket.
A stone’s throw from the Grand Palace in Bangkok, the 26-year-old Canadian ran into a monk in a robe. The monk told him that the attraction he was hoping to visit had been closed.
The monk then introduced Mukerji to a jewellery store instead. On the way there, three different people told him that it was the last day of a once-a-year, tax-free jewellery promotion to encourage tourism.
They said that tourists can make a lot of money by buying gems（宝石）in Thailand and selling them once at home.
Two hours later, Mukerji had spent US $ 1, 250 on a set of almost worthless jewellery in the jewellery store.
“The whole process took me by surprise. They take advantage of your greed,” he said.
In fact, Mukerji is just one of a huge number of tourists who are cheated by the promise of making a fortune. The scam（诡计）brings Thailand more than US $ 10 million each year.
Although tourist police stations have displayed posters to warn of the scam, many fresh-faced tourists still fall prey to the trick.
The police say they receive 5～10 complaints a day. Many more may not realize they have been cheated until they go back home.
That authorities say that the jewellery scam is harmful to Thailand’s image, but getting rid of the cheats is hard.
Sanit Miphan, head of the police, said the scam has been running for about 15 years but not one jewellery shop owner has been arrested.
The shops usually open for two weeks and then close. They reopen and register under a new name. What’s more, overcharging（要价过高）itself is not breaking the law.
Yet, to keep the tourism business alive, the police said they would take action against any shop receiving more than 10 complaints.
1.Sandeep Mukerji was cheated probably because of all the following EXCEPT that_______.
A. he was young
B. he believed that the monk wouldn’t cheat others
C. he had more or less the wish to try his fortune
D. the cheat scam was too skillful to be found out
2.How many people cheated Sandeen Mukerji?
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
3.Suppose everyone who was cheated lost as much as Mukerji did, how many visitors to Bankok would be cheated each year?
A. About 6, 000 B. About 8, 000 C. About 10, 000. D. About12, 000.
4.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Thai tourist police are carrying out their task very efficiently.
B. The management of Thai tourist market is very strict.
C. Any shop receiving complaints will be punished as seriously as possible.
D. It is hard for the police to crack down（制裁） the cheats efficiently partly because many cheats’ deeds seem not to break the law.
