Stephen Hawking was born in England in 1942. He is one of the most well-known scientists on space and time in the world. Hawking is researching how the universe began and how it ends. He is called the King of the Universe.
When he studied math and science at Oxford University, he became seriously ill, which made him unable to speak or breathe without the help of machines. Till now, he can't move or feed himself and he is helped to dress, eat and wash by a nurse. However, he has a wheelchair with a special computer, with which he can communicate with others.
In spite of all these difficulties, he refused to give up his hope of living and went on to study at Cambridge University after graduating from Oxford University. In 1965, he got a Doctor's Degree of philosophy(哲学). Because of his serious illness, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he is respected by people in the world. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It has been sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages. He was once invited to China to give lectures. His self-confidence and humorous conversations impressed us deeply.
From Hawking's unusual experiences , we learn that nobody should lose hope, no matter how bad the situation is .As he once said," Life is not fair, you just have to do the best you can in your own situation."

It is necessary for children to help their parents with housework. But most parents may find it difficult to get their children to help with it, because children usually enjoy playing games instead of doing housework. However, I have some good ways to get my children to do housework. Here is an example.
"Mum, what's next week's housework? Let Kitty and me choose the cards. I can't wait. It's interesting!"
When my son, 7-year-old Tommy shouted, I began to put all the cards on the sofa. On the cards, I wrote some words like these, "wash the car, take out the rubbish, make the bed, do the dishes, clean the living room, sweep the floor, wash the clothes, take the dog for walks, water the flowers" and so on.
Kitty and Tommy chose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they wrote them down on their notebooks. Tommy likes to take the dog for walks best while Kitty enjoys cleaning the living room. Soon the two kids had fun taking away all the cards. And I didn't need to worry about the housework again. Of course, on weekends, I usually do the housework myself and set the children free.

A. Donating blood is not difficult. B. Then the blood can be used for people in need. C. In fact, blood is the gift of life and keeps us alive. D. Donating blood is not only one of the easiest ways to save lives. E. Most people are able to donate blood again in several months if they wish. |
Seeing blood in a horror movie might make you cover your eyes, but real blood isn't scary at all.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#} That's why blood donors are considered lifesavers.
Blood donors are those giving blood—usually about 200ml at a time—to blood banks or blood donation (捐赠) centers. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} For example, someone may have lost blood in accidents, or have a serious illness that requires his blood to be replaced. Hospitals and blood banks store the blood and try to keep enough on hand.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Medical workers ask donors several questions to make sure the blood is safe to use. Then the donors relax, often reading a magazine or talking as their blood is drawn. Afterward, the donors may receive some juice or water and maybe fruit to give them energy. The process is simple, not scary. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} To give blood, a person must be at least 18 years old and must meet certain other requirements.
Students of all ages, though, can learn more about the donation process by visiting a local blood donation center. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} It is also an easy way to help a community.
