His parents house wasnt in Oxford. It was in the north of London. But at that time, people thought Oxford was a safer place to have babies because of the Second World War. Stephens father was a good doctor. His mother didnt work.In 1950, when Hawking was eight years old, his family moved to St. Albans, a town about 20 miles north of London. At eleven, Stephen went to St. Albans School, and then went to Oxford University. There he wanted to study maths, but there wasnt maths course(课程) in the university. So he studied physics(物理).In 1988, Stephens greatest work A Brief History of Time was published(出版).

Till now, he cant move or feed himself. However, he has a wheelchair(轮椅) with a special computer, with it, he can communicate(沟通) with others.March.14th this year, his death made the world sad.

Some do, scientists say, according to a report by Science News in early 2010.Guillermo P. Murphy and Susan Dudley are two plant scientists from McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. They did a few experiments with Jewelweeds, a kind of flower that grows in wet, shady spots. They found that the flowers seem to know their own flower family. In their experiments, Murphy and Dudley planted jewelweeds in pots with eithersiblingsor strangers.When jewelweeds were planted in pots with strangers, the plants started to grow more leaves than if they had been planted alone. This response(反应)suggests that plants are competing with strangers for sunlight, since a plant with more leaves can receive more light and make more food. Jewelweeds usually grow in the shade, where sunlight is not enough.When jewelweed seedlings(幼苗)were planted with siblings, they grew a few more branches than they usually would if they were alone but they did not start growing lots of extra leaves. This behavior suggests the plants are more likely to share resources, rather than compete.According to the Science News report, Jewelweeds are not the first plants that plant scientists have studied for family recognition. In 2007, Dudley and her team studied the Great Lakes sea rocket, a plant that grows on the beach where it may be hard to get fresh water. In that experiment, the scientists found that when sea rockets were planted with siblings, they tolerated each other. But when they were planted with strangers, the sea rockets reacted by working extra hard to grow lots of roots.Dudley says this just because sea rockets, on the beach, get plenty of sun but struggle for water so when theyre threatened, they compete for water. Jewelweeds have plenty of water but have to compete for sunshine, so they grow more leaves.11 .

Thats great she or he liked it.,Im glad I could help.orI may just do that again. Thus, expressing the gratitude andgiving something backcan lead you to receive a lot more in the future.Why are people hesitant（犹豫）about sending thank-you notes? And how do most people feel when they receive one?Kumar and his team asked some students to write a thank-you letter to another person through an e-mail. Then, they questioned both the writer and recipient（接受者）about the letter and how it made them feel.They found that people dont like to write thank-you notes because they feel like they have to think too much about it. 他们担心说什么和怎么说 In addition, some writers also feel that it might be awkward（尴尬的）for the recipient to receive a thank-you letter.But the fact is that people really like receiving thank-you notes. “ When they receive thank-you notes, they feel especially warm in their hearts, ” Kumar says. “ They dont really feel awkward at all. ” Kumar says this study reminds us that simple and small changes in our everyday life can make a big difference in how we
