22、        Stephen Hawking is one of the most famous scientists in this century. He was born in 1942. He’s a world well-known scientist and expert on space and time. Stephen is researching (研究) some very big questions, such as: How did the universe begin? How will it end?     

        Stephen was a student at Oxford University (大学). He studied Maths and Science. Then, at the age of twenty, he became sick. He was so young, but the doctors said to his family. “He has only two more years to live.” In fact, the doctors were wrong—he didn’t die. He can’t walk but he uses a wheelchair (轮椅). He can’t feed himself and get in or out of bed himself. But he refused to give in to the condition. He talks with the help of a computer. After Oxford, Stephen went to Cambridge University. Three years later, in 1965, he became a doctor of philosophy (哲学博士).

       Because of his health problems, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams (图表) or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world. In 1981, he met the Pope (教皇) in Rome. They talked about his ideas. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages. He was once invited to China.

23、Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some actions. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends by staying at home alone.

Join a club or a group, talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier, or join some activities.

Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.

Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts (怀疑）about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us, finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are and try to put the other people at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable.

Try to act self-confidence (自信)even if you don’t feel that way when you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom. Walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile.

If you see someone you’d like to speak to, say something. Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.

Just meeting someone new doesn’t mean that you’ll make friends with that person — friendships are based on mutual（相互的）liking and “give and take”. They take time and effort to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.

【1】You can not make friends ________.

A．if you take actions

B．by going to people
