quantum gravity（量子重力）, especially in the context of black holes. he experienced extreme difficulties and obstacles in his life, which only made him stronger. finally he contributed much to the careers he devoted to and became one of the most famous scientists in the world.hawking was outstanding in his school life. after a successful period of education at st. albans school, the entrance of oxford opened to him. in march 1959, at the age of 17, hawking took the scholarship examination with the aim of studying natural sciences at oxford. then hawking went to cambridge to do research in cosmology.when stephen hawking was dreaming about his future, he faced extreme difficulties and obstacles. symptoms of disorder first appeared while he was enrolled at cambridge; he lost his balance and fell down a flight of stairs, hitting his head. the diagnosis (诊断) of motor neuron （运动神经元）disease came when hawking was 21, shortly before his first marriage, and doctors said he would not survive more than two or three years. hawking gradually lost the use of his arms, legs, and voice, and is now almost completely paralyzed（瘫痪）.despite his disease, he describes himself as lucky - not only has time to make influential discoveries, but also has, in his own words, a very attractive family.as someone has said, when we meet frustration, someone fights, someone cries, someone escapes, someone

friends by chance62. which of the following statements is not true?a. hawking is famous in the fields of cosmology and quantum gravity.b. hawking was diagnosed to have the motor neuron disease. c.

few songs of my ownwhat would life be like, i wondered, without a beautiful song? in 1992, i made two love songs to my darling wife and watched tears run down her face as i sangsam, she said earnestly, your songs should be heard by more people.she got my ballads and started bothering various media people about me, her singing barber husbandtwo radio stations took an interest and played the songsafter the programme was aired, i became known in our community as the singing barberthe biggest surprise, however, was still to comei received a call from a music promoter who offered me a long-term recording contracthe explained that he would be investing a lot of money to market my songs. i needed to be wholly focused on selling my records all over australiabut i hesitatedmy friends all told me to go for itand mary also thought i should dogo, samill manage with the familyitll be oki watched my daughter and son playing in the backyardsoon they would both be in high schooland where would i be? i was so used to my family turning to me for love and supportif i were to start a singing career, i would not only miss them terribly, id also certainly miss out on watching them grow upsigning this contract would put a huge gap between my family and meand i couldnt bear itmy family was my lifeso i refused the music promoters offerim still making music, im rich in love and i have no regrets66when the author was offered the contract, most of his friends _aenvied him blaughed at himcencouraged himddidnt believe him67why did the author give up the contract?abecause his wife was strongly against itbbecause the pay was not attractive enoughcbecause he wanted to care about his two kidsdbecause he didnt want his family life damaged68according to the passage, we can infer the author _aused to be a country singer bpreferred his present lifecwent on the road to fame dregretted giving up his contract69what does the author mainly intend to tell us?aone should know himself binterest is the best teachercfamily should come first devery dog has its daychave you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? when you select your career, theres whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. if you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the jobs pay. there are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. here are a few of those main areas: 1) do you prefer working alone or with other people? there are isolating (使孤立) jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. there are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2) how do you handle change? most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. if you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes dont happen so often. other people would be bored of the same daily routine.3) do you enjoy working with computers?i do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. there are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. again, these are extremes and youll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4) what type of work environment do you enjoy? this can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you wont know immediately to a smaller setting where youll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly. 5) how do you like to get paid? some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. the variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.anyway, these are a great starting point for you. ive seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. it may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.70. this passage mainly talks about the importance of _.a. different jobs b. personalities c. personal skills d. jobs pay71. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. isolating jobs usually drive people mad. b. interactive jobs make people shy easily.c. extreme people tend to work with others. d. almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.72. what is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?a. design b. skills c. cooperation d. hobbiesstabilityjobsmotivationenvironment?73. what is the best title for this passage?a. lifestyles and job pay b. jobs and environment c. job skills and abilitiesd. personalities and jobs74. what will it be probably about if this passage continues?a. examples of successful people b. researches on people c. different types of jobsd. peoples personality characteristics dcan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? people who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. a recent research has found a new recipe of success. according to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and
