21、Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Allbans, 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 and then went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology(宇宙学). As he himself admits, he didn't work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However. he still got marks.

It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump 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 motor neuron disease（运动神经元病）, an incurable 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 23.

At first, Hawking became very depressed. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, "Before my illness was diagnosed(诊断), I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital. I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile（值得做的） things I could do." Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, how bad their situation is, should lose hope. "Life is not fair." He once said. "You just have to do the best you can in your own situation."

22、Sleeping. Eating. Sleeping. Eating again. Life in a pigpen (猪圈) is boring. Nothing ever changes. Sometimes, I can’t help thinking: What do I live for? “Pigs produce pork. Just eat as much as you can!” my roommates told me. “It is sad, but you can’t change it, can you?”

But last month, I heard the pigpen owner talking on the phone about something unusual. Some American doctors saved a very sick man by replacing his heart with a pig’s. This had never successfully been done before.

My owner sounded excited. I know why. His elderly uncle had been in the hospital for weeks because of a serious heart problem. A heart transplant (移植), the doctors said, was perhaps the best choice for him. However, ________. Most heart patients have to wait years before they are able to receive a transplant. Some of them die during this long and painful process. The successful operation in America means that in the future, people can depend on us pigs for healthy hearts. We are easy to raise, and we grow quickly.

Sadly, I am just an ordinary pig. I’m not able to save my owner’s uncle. But some of my kids will probably be growing up in a special lab. They will be living as lifesavers, instead of pork providers. Perhaps my owner was talking to scientists about cooperation (合作) that day. Perhaps life in the pigpen will finally be a bit different.

C．To show readers how to run the operation.

D．To tell readers the importance of the invention.
