     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(音響合成器).
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(理論物理).

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案．

　　Dear Roni,

　　Italy is wonderful. We started in Rome two weeks ago, drove to Florence last week and now we're on our way to Venice. Three weeks just isn't enough.

　　The country near Florence is so beautiful－h(huán)ills, olive trees. And red roofs(屋頂) of the houses look so nice far away.

　　I am afraid I am getting bigger－the food here is so delicious!

Love,

Akemi

　　Roni Lebaver

　　222 Main St. Languna

　　Beach, CA 92651

　　U. S. A.

　　Hi Roni,

　　I can't believe(相信) you went to school here in Honolulu! Why did you leave?

　　I spend each morning on the beach(海灘) and in the water. The sand is so soft and the beaches seem so long. The water is just the right temperature.

　　One afternoon, I left the beach to walk in mountains near Honolulu. I enjoyed myself very much there.

　　How I miss you!

Mari

　　Dear Roni,

　　Maybe I'm strange but I love the desert(沙漠)!

　　Last week, our group spent four days in the desert. At times, it felt like the moon.

　　I always thought deserts were all the same! They are not. Some parts look like mountains; others are really different.

　　And when we find something green－－a few plam trees, a little water, we feel good and great.

　　See you in September,

Kim
