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, then he went to Cambridge University where he studied
cosmology. As he himself admits (承认), he didn"t work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little

later write, "Before my illness was diagnosed (诊断), I had been very bored with life. There bad not seemed to
be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of
worth while things I could do." Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, and had three children.
He also went on to do some of the most important scientific research.
    Today, Hawking still works at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows
that nobody, however bad their situation (处境) is, should lose hope. "Life is not fair, "he once said. "You just
have to do the best you can in your own situation." 1. As a university student, Stephen Hawking _______. [     ]
