Stephen Hawking, the best-known theoretical physicist (理论物理学家) of his time, passed away on March 14, 2018. It is a great loss to the world.

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, then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology (宇宙学). He thought 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 ALS, a bad 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.

However, the illness did not stop Hawking from studying the universe. He used every new day to continue his study. He said, “Where there is life, here is hope.” Later, Hawking found a job at Cambridge University, he got married and had three children, Unluckily, Hawking’s health condition continued to get worse, he lost his voice in 1985, and had to communicate (交流) through a computer, but he never stopped doing scientific research. He also wrote some best-selling science books, such as A Brief History of Time (《时间简史》) and The Universe in a Nutshell (《果壳中的宇宙》)

Hawking’s story showed us that no matter how bad the situation (处境) is, we should never lose hope. “Life is not fair,” he once said. “You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.”

Besides studying and tests, students need to learn some life skills (技能) for the future. These skills can help them live by themselves. The following are some important skills.

Managing (管理) money

You often get a little money from your parents, and you may spend it as you like. You can make a list of the things before going shopping, and plan how to spend the money. Don’t waste.

Washing and cleaning

Doing some washing correctly is important. You should first read the instructions on clothing, and then check the pockets of the clothes. Pay more attention to different colours of them.

As for cleaning, you should learn how to use brooms (扫帚), mops (抹布) and so on. If you often do more cleaning, the people who live with you will thank you for your work.

Cooking your favourite meals
