Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Albans--a small 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, and then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology. As he himself admits(承認), he didn't work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks.
It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump (撞上 )into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neuron disease, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23.
At first, Hawking became very sad. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later write, "Before my illness was diagnosed(診斷), 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 worthwhile 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(處境) is, should lose hope. "Life is not fair, "he once said. "You just have to do the best you can in your own situation."

This year, Sichuan schools decide to start morning classes an hour later. This will help students feel less tired. And most junior high schools will begin the first class at about 8:30 am.
A. Wu Hongli feels the same. She said the new timetable (時間表) was good for her health. “I used to get up at 6:30 am. I had to drink coffee every night, or I would feel too sleepy to finish my homework,” said Wu. “Now I can finish it without coffee. Because I can sleep a little longer.”
B. The students are happy about the change. Liu Ming told us that his class were excited by the news on the first day of school. “Great! From now on we students at No.4 Middle School don’t have to get up early!” Liu said that he used to get up at 6:40 am. Now he can get up at 7:40 am because class doesn’t start until 8:40 am.
C. But some parents are worried that more sleep will mean less learning. There used to be five classes in the morning. Now there are only four.
D. Many teachers say the change will help students learn better. “Students used to be sleepy for the first two classes in the morning,” said Huang Shan, an English teacher at Chengdu No.12 Middle School. “But now they are active in class and learn much better than before.”
E. In fact, every coin has two sides. So does the change in the school timetable.
本文的正確順序是: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
