Hes world well-known on space and time. Stephen was searching some very big questions, such as How did the universe begin? How will it end? Stephen was a student at Oxford University. He studied math and science. Then, at the age of twenty, he became sick. He was so young, but the doctors said to his family, “He has only two more years to live.” As a matter of fact, the doctors were wrong he didnt die. He cant walk but he uses a wheelchair(轮椅). He cant feed himself and get in or out of bed himself. But he refused to give in to the condition. He talks with the help of a computer. After Oxford, Stephen went to Cambridge University. Three years later, in 1965, he became a doctor of philosophy(哲学). Because of his serious health problems, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams(图表) or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world. In 1981, he met the Pope(教皇) in Rome. They talked about his ideas. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages.

In other words, WeChat can overwhelm(使应接不暇) us,while also breaking down the boundaries（界限） between our work and private（私人的） lives. Just think how easy it is now for bosses to hand out assignments（任务） during the holiday, so long as they have your WeChat contact.

The app steals our time without us even noticing it, making us have the false belief that we are busy all the time.

Yet still, as your friend count(好友数量) ever goes up, it can make you feel the need to post selfies（） and share details of your life in your Moments, just so you can stay up to date. With WeChat , all our spare time is swallowed up by the constant torrent（连发） of messages and our attention keeps getting diverted（改变） by Moments and pop-up（突然出现的） ads.

C Russian police have started a new attempt to get drivers to slow down at zebra crossings by having painted horses as zebras walk across on the busiest streets in some of the big cities in an attempt to improve road safety and raise awareness（意识） among Russias notoriously (臭名昭著地) careless drivers.The light grey horses, painted with black stripes（条纹）, carried signs on their backs reading: “Careful, children are on their way to school.” The police sent the “zebras” to several different locations in the Russian capital, where officials in orange vests（背心） walked them over zebra crossings and handed out leaflets (传单) to passing drivers.Some held up rainbow-coloured umbrellas over the painted animals to protect them from the rain. Russian roads are notoriously dangerous and drivers still rarely take the initiative (主动采取措施) to avoid pedestrians（行人）.

In Moscow（莫斯科） alone, 43 people were killed, including two children.Though police officials said that only safe paint would be used on the animals, animal rights activists(活跃分子) still disagreed with the idea, accusing（投诉） the police of “treating animals like garbage”.“Children understand that paints are bad for animals,” the Interfax news agency quoted（引用） president of Vita animal rights group Irina Novozhilova as saying.Lets hope this part of the campaign is over and animals are left out of future attempts to raise pedestrians awareness.8.Why do Moscow police have “zebras” walk across on the busiest streets?A.To make a call on protecting animals.B.To remind people zebras are in danger of extinction（灭绝）.C.To tell people it is dangerous to cross streets.D.To raise drivers awareness of road safety.9.What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.The zebras.
