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."

23、Western restaurant menus are not the same as Chinese restaurant menus. But what are they like and what are the differences?

Most Western restaurant menus don’t have any pictures as Chinese ones do. In most famous Western restaurants, menus show a list of ingredients for each dish. If you order a burger, you will know the ingredients and the way to cook your burger from the menu.

Western restaurants use many ways to design their menus and make them more attractive(有吸引力的). In fact, there is a job called “menu engineering”. Menu engineers are good at designing(设计) menus. Their menus can help the owner of restaurant make more money and change customers’ ideas.

A well-designed menu can make customers eat a lot. It can even make them believe that the restaurant’s food is of higher quality, even if they haven’t eaten the food yet. For example, using descriptive(描述性的) words like “juicy” or “cheesy” can help dishes sell better. They seldom write “steak” in their menu, they like to write “sizzling”. This makes the steak sound more delicious.

It is known that the best dishes people want to taste are at the top of a page in a menu, so menus are not just simple lists of food!

【1】Western menus don’t have as many ________ as Chinese menus,

A．ingredients

24、根据下列语篇和所给的首字母，写出所缺的单词，并注意正确形式(单复数等，每空只写一词)。

Here are some pieces of i【1】 from an encyclopaedia.

Protozoa

Protozoa are the smallest a【2】. We can’t see them, but they do a lot for us. Protozoa are useful for fish and other animals. Some protozoa are good for human beings by eating dangerous bacteria(细菌). But some parasites make human beings ill.

Fish

There are over 20,000 different k【3】 of fish. Some of them are very small, but some are big. For example, the whale shark is over 60 feet long. Most fish breathe through gills(鳃). Gills make them get o【4】 in water. Most fish use fins and tails for swimming.

Amphibians

Amphibians have eggs in water, and young amphibians are like small fish. The tadpole lives in water. It has a tail and gills. So it can breathe under water. When it becomes a frog, it doesn’t have the gills or the tail, but then it has l【5】 for walking on land. Most amphibians can both walk on land and swim in water.
