　　He is regarded as having one of the brightest minds on the planet.But outstanding astrophysicist（天体物理学家）Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to read until he was eight years old.

　　In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall，Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Oxford University，where he studied physics，and that only the diagnosis that he might die young from motor neurone（神经元）disease made him concentrate on his work.

　　Professor Hawking said “My sister Philippa could read by the age of 4 but then she was definitely brighter than me.” He said that he was unexceptional at school and was never further than halfway up his class.“My classwork was very untidy，and my handwriting was the despair of my teachers，” he said.“But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein，so presumably they saw signs of something better.”

　　But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that galvanized him into focusing on his work and a period of productivity that resulted in some of his early breakthroughs.He said，“When you are faced with the possibility of an early death，it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.”

　　1．We can infer that Stephen Hawking was ______ when he was a child and studied in Oxford University.

　　A．clever

　　B．lazy

　　C．bright

　　D．mean

　　2．What made Stephen Hawking devote himself to his work?

　　A．Patience.

　　B．Knowledge.

　　C．Disease.

　　D．Laziness.

　　3．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

　　A．Stephen Hawking didn't realize his dreams in physics.

　　B．It was possible for Hawking to face the early death.

　　C．The purpose of the doctor's diagnosis was to encourage him to work hard.

　　D．His life might be taken away by long hard work.

　　4．From whom did Hawking get a relatively just estimation when he was at school?

　　A．His sister.

　　B．His classmates.

　　C．His teachers.

　　D．His parents.

　　B

　　In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas！You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket！You might even drive a flying car!

　　Not all past predictions have been proven wrong.A few of them have been surprisingly accurate.Some great thinkers predicted the arrival of the credit card，the fax machine and even the Internet—years before they happened.But for each prediction that has come true，some others have missed by a mile.Many of these predictions didn't consider how people would want to use the technology.Or if people really needed it in their lives or not.Let's look at some predictions from the not­too­distant past.

　　Robot Helpers

　　Where's the robot in my kitchen？Nowhere，of course.And he's probably not coming anytime soon.Robots do exist today，but mostly in factories and other working environments.

　　Back in the 1950s，however，people said that by now personal robots would be in most people's home.

　　So why hasn't happened？Maybe because robots are still too expensive and clumsy（笨拙的）.And probably the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too strange.At home we seem to be doing fine without them.

　　Telephones of tomorrow

　　In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone.They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes.But of course the idea hasn't caught_on yet.

　　Why？The technology worked fine，but it overlooked something obvious：people desire for privacy.Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just stepped out of the shower?

　　Probably not—it could be uncomfortable！Just because technology doesn't always mean people will want to use it.

　　And finally，how about that crazy prediction of the flying car？It's not so crazy any more！But a flying car remains one of the most wonderful technology ideas to catch our imagination.Keep watching the news—or perhaps the sky outside your window—to see what the future will bring.

　　5．The passage mainly deals with ______.

　　A．predictions that can catch our imagination

　　B．predictions that haven't come true

　　C．new technology can benefit our life

　　D．predictions that have come true

　　6．Robot Helpers haven't been used in most people's home because ______.

　　A．using the kind of robots at home is simply a waste of time and money

　　B．the kind of robots hasn't been developed yet

　　C．people find it difficult to control the kind of robots

　　D．the kind of robots won't bring people practical use

　　7．The underlined expression “caught on” probably means ______.

　　A．become popular

　　B．understood

　　C．been wonderful

　　D．been perfect

　　8．How does the writer find the flying car?

　　A．It is too difficult to imagine.

　　B．It is too crazy an idea to realize.

　　C．It is likely to appear in the future.

　　D．It has been the focus of the news.
