阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列表格中所缺信息，每空一词。

Andy was born in China 17 years ago. In 2007, she went to the USA with her family. As a high school student, she has found many differences between Chinese and Americans：

About money

Americans like to spend more than they have, so many of them are always in debt(欠债). But Chinese usually spend less than they have, so many of them always have money left in the bank.

The American kids themselves make their own money. Most Chinese kids always ask their parents for money.

About education

Many American students have less homework to do while many Chinese students have much.

Many American girls take part in sports, dancing and singing groups while many Chinese girls take part in study groups.

Many American parents think it is unnecessary to send their children to an expensive school. It’s different in China. Many Chinese parents would try their best to send their children to expensive schools though their family isn’t rich enough.

About friends

Most American parents let their sons or daughters make friends by themselves. They never ask them about their friends while Chinese parents are usually interested in knowing more about their children’s friends, and usually stop them from staying out too late with friends.

Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Allbans, a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class.

After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics and then went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology(宇宙学). As he himself admits, he didn't work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However. he still got marks.

It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neuron disease（运动神经元病）, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before 23.

At first, Hawking became very depressed. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, "Before my illness was diagnosed(诊断), I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital. I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile（值得做的） things I could do." Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, how bad their situation is, should lose hope. "Life is not fair." He once said. "You just have to do the best you can in your own situation."
