    Do you know Stephen Hawking? He was one of 1scientists on space and time in the world. He2on March 14th this year. We are all sorry for it.

    Hawking was born in England in 1942. When he was a little boy, he didn't have any physical problems3he was not good at sports. As for study, he showed a great interest4science. Then he studied math and science at Oxford University. At the age of 21, he became seriously ill. He couldn't feel or move5. Luckily, he had a wheelchair(轮椅)6a special computer. It helped him "talk" with others.

    Even though he faced so7difficulties, he refused to give up his hope. Because of his illness, 8was difficult for him to draw diagrams (图表) or to write. So he started to think in the pictures. With this new way of9, people could understand him.

    Hawking was not only a great scientist but also an excellent 10. China once invited him to give speeches and he accepted the invitation11. His speeches touched the listeners' heart and made them 12 .

    Hawking was an outgoing person who had many interests. He said, "Having a meaningless life will13be my dream. When something bad14, there's no need to worry about it. Just do your best in your place."

    "Never give up." That is15we should learn from Hawking.

    One day, my lite daughter Annie came to me with a difficult problem. "Helen hates me!" she cried. "She wants me only to be her 1.You tell Helen that I want to be her friend, but I can have other friends, too!"

    Oh! I looked at her for a few 2wondering what to do, when suddenly an idea came to me.

    I picked up two 3from the living room. I put the small basket inside the big one and said. "When everyone is born, he or she has a little basket. The lite one is 4.The big one is mine. Your little basket is inside mine.5do you think that is?"

    She looked at me 6and said nothing

    I continued, "Your little basket is in mine because when you were born, there were too many things you couldn't do for yourself. I fed you, bathed you and I7 everything else you couldn't do on your own.8 I put your basket in mine. As you grew older, when you learnt to tie your shoes, that went in your basket You 9want me to tie your shoes now, right?"

    She said softly, "No, I can tie my own shoes."

    As you grow older, there will be 10things you must do by yourself." As I spoke, I took her basket out of mine and handed it to her." You will finally 11 your own basket with things only you can do, like deciding who you want to be friends with, what college you will go to, who you will marry."

    She 12it for a while and said," I understand. There are some things that I have to do for myself because they are in my basket."

    I hugged her and continued, "One day when I become 13, you will take things out of my basket and place them into your basket. Finally, you'll take my basket. Just like I do for my mom and grandmother now." I gently 14my basket with hers.

    Life is a 15. As she watched the little basket in my hand and smiled, she understood
