Just as they were about to begin eating, the fathersaid, “My boy, I have spent a lot of money on you to send you to Oxford. Now I want to know what you have learned.” The son smiled and said, “Father, I have studied a science which can prove that these two chickens on the plate are really three chickens.” “Well,” said the father, “this is something I would like very much to know.” “There are two chickens on the plate,” said the student, and then he took one of the chickens in his hand and said, “Here is one more and one and two makes three. So here are three chickens.” Then the father t ook one of the chickens to himself, gave the other to his wife, and said, “I will have one of the chickens myself, your mother will have another, and you can have the third for supper and nothing else.” The father kept his word and so the student went without his supper.( )61.

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 to study physics, then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology. As he himself admits, 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 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, 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 he was 23.At first, Hawking became very depressed. After a while, 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 after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do." Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, and had three children. He also went on to do some of the most important scientific research.Today, Hawking still works at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody should lose hope. "Life is not fair," he once said. "You just have to do the best you can in your own situation."( )66.
