Stephen Hawking, a world famous British physicist, will write a children"s book with his daughter.
Hawking said the book will be "a bit like Harry Potter" but without the magic. "It explains the wonders
of the universe(宇宙)," said Hawking, while he was on a visit to Hong Kong last week.
Hawking, 64, is probably the world"s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He is an expert on
black holes. He has put his whole life into digging into the beginning (and the end) of the universe.
"My goal is simple," Hawking once said. "It is to completely understand the universe, why it is as it is
and why it is there at all."
Hawking has a bad illness that stops him from moving or talking. For a period of time, he had no
way to communicate except by blinking(眨眼).
Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers
to control the computer"s mouse. He selects his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a
voice synthesizer(音响合成器).
I have had the disease for most of my life," Hawking once said. "Yet it has not stopped me from being
successful at my work."
Although Hawking is such a disabled man, he made great achievements. He has received many
awards and prizes for his work over the years. This includes winning the Albert Einstein Award. It is
the highest achievement in theoretical physics(理论物理). |

Last year I went to an old-fashioned bar with Lisa and her mother. When it was my turn to order, I
had a problem. I was dyslexic (诵读困难的). I had difficulty reading words. I felt embarrassed
(尴尬的) about it and didn"t want others to know it. Every time in restaurants I pretended (假装) that I
could understand menus and ordered something that almost every restaurant could have. Luckily, I
succeeded every time. This time I did as usual. I had a look at the menu and asked for a dish of vanilla
ice cream. I thought it was safe. A place like this bar should have this kind of ice cream. But as soon as
Lisa heard me, she said, "Didn"t you read the menu? There isn"t any vanilla ice cream at all." After I heard
this, my face turned red. And I had to tell them the truth. "Dyslexia is quite common, Betty. My friend"s
daughter had this problem four years ago, but she is better now," Lisa"s mother said to me. Then she
passed me a business card and said, "Go to see this doctor! Believe me! He can help you." I am better
now. I understand that sometimes it isn"t the thing itself but what we have done that makes us embarrassed. I have learned to face my problems. I won"t escape (逃避) from them anymore.

| | 根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。 | Last July, many newspapers carried a moving photo: a woman pushing a tricycle (三轮脚踏车) in the
rain. According to one of the newspapers, the woman is the head teacher of Hoping Primary School in
out-of-the-way Huaiyang County. Her name is Li Ling.
At only 27, she was known as the most beautiful teacher of 2009. In 2002, after leaving school, she
set up a primary school in her hometown in order to help rural children get education. She has borrowed

second-hand reading materials for them. She went alone, riding her tricycle through the streets under the
burning sun, with only one aim (目的)—to set up a simple "reading room" for 300 students.
"Each time I see students from other schools sitting and reading in a bright reading room, I feel sad. I
also want to set up a reading room for my students, even the simplest one,"she said.
