In my first week as a graduate student at Cambridge University in 1964 I met with a fellow student, two years ahead of me in his studies; he was unsteady on his feet and spoke with great difficulty. This was Stephen Hawking. I learned that he had a bad disease and might not live long enough even to finish his PhD degree.
But, amazingly, he has reached the age of 73. Even mere survival would have been a medical miracle, but of course, he didn’t merely survive. He has become arguably the most famous scientist in the world for his brilliant research, for his bestselling books, and, above all, for his astonishing victory over hardship.
Stephen received his “death sentence” in 1964, when I thought it was hard for him to go on with his study. Stephen went from Albans School to Oxford University. He was said to be a “lazy” undergraduate, but his brilliance earned him a first-class degree, an “entry ticket” to a research career in Cambridge and a uniquely inspiring achievement.
Within a few years of the burst of his disease he was wheelchair-bound, and his speech was so unclear that it could only be understood by those who knew him well. But his scientific career went from strength to strength: he quickly came up with a series of insights into the nature of black holes (then a very new idea) and how the universe began. In 1974 he was elected to the Royal Society at the exceptionally early age of 32.
The great advances in science generally involve discovering a link between phenomena that were previously conceptually unconnected — for instance, Isaac Newton realized that the force making an apple fall to earth was the same as the force that holds the moon and planets in their orbits. Stephen’s revolutionary idea about a link between gravity and quantum(量子) theory has still not been tested. However, it has been hugely influential; indeed, one of the main achievements of string theory(弦理論)has been to confirm and build on his idea. He has undoubtedly done more than anyone else since Einstein to improve our knowledge of gravity and he is one of the top-ten living theoretical physicists.

I started to learn English when I was in elementary school. Together with my two friends, I had English classes with a private teacher. I lacked motivation and I learned very little. This stage was insignificant and could just as well have not happened at all.
I began to learn English in earnest when I went to high school. I was in the same class with Michael, but in different groups. I was in a group for students who were to learn English from scratch, and he was in a group for those who had already known some English. Very soon, my teacher noticed that my English was improving rapidly and he told me to join the group for the advanced learners. This was the worst thing that could have happened to me. My new teacher, who was Irish, didn’t speak Polish so I couldn’t understand her and I never knew what I was supposed to do. I was completely at a loss. My English didn’t improve at all. As a result, at the end of that year I was sent back to the group for beginners.
My stay with the advanced group made me realize what kind of learning strategies I should use in the future. I discovered that I cannot pick up a new language directly from foreigners. I started to learn hard again.
I translated into Polish all new words that appeared in my course-book. Before a test I would memorize dozens of words with their Polish equivalents (對等物). However, later I would never revise those words so I would soon forget most of them.
I knew that I should improve my learning techniques and I decided to ask for help those who had the best results in our class, that is Michael. That wasn’t easy because in the second grade, they seemed to look down on girls. So after a few attempts to approach them I decided to give up. For two years I learned English using the method described above. My English was improving but I was still forgetting new words. Finally, in the fourth grade I got closer to Michael, who started to show me how to learn English more efficiently, which was a breakthrough in the whole process of my learning English.
Michael encouraged me to read books in English with monolingual dictionaries. Several months later, I began to write e-mail messages in English.
I have been using these techniques for four years, and in my opinion, I have achieved pretty good results.
72. Which of the author’s English learning experiences was not worthy of notice?
A. In elementary school.
B. The first year in high school.
C. The second and third years in high school.
D. The fourth year in high school.
73. Of the following experiences, which one made the greatest suffering to the author?
A. She shared a private English teacher with his two friends.
B. She was moved to the advanced group in the first high school year.
C. She was sent back to the group for beginners.
D. She got Michael to help her in English.
74. What did the author learn from her study in the advanced group?
A. She could not learn a new language quite well.
B. Learning strategies are not important.
C. The Irish teacher is not suitable for her.
D. She had to ask for help those who had the best results in her class.
75. What is the most important thing in the author’s process of English learning?
A. Michael began to teach her an efficient way of learning English.
B. She tried to read books in English.
C. She tried to use monolingual dictionaries.
D. She tried to write e-mail messages in English.

Dear Jason,
I’m more than happy to hear from you and know about your beautiful home city London. Now I’d like to tell you something about my hometown Quanzhou.
Quanzhou is a beautiful place for people to live in. Its economy has been developing rapidly during the past ten years. New bridges and roads have been built, high rise buildings standing in many parts of the city. More and more schools and hospitals are available for the native people. It is developing into a modern and charming city. However, there are still some problems, such as heavy traffic in rush hours and severe air pollution, which have a bad influence on people’s daily life. In my view, Quanzhou should develop healthily and scientifically, so that we could have a better hometown in future.
Yours,
Li Ming
