M: So! can you think of a person that you admire most?
W: Well! I think that it must be Steven Hawking.
M: Isn’t he the professor at Cambridge with motor neurone disease?
W: That’s right. He has spent most of his life fighting the disease. He found out that he’d got it when he was a student. He was at the age of only 21 then.
M: What did he do then?
W: (12) Well! he stopped wasting time. And he started applying himself to his studies. He knew that he risked dying young! but he became a leading cosmologist.
M: Oh! it seems that I kind of heard something about him.
W: Yes! you must have. (13) He wrote a book about universe for the average person. In fact, I remember seeing it on your book shelves.
M: Do you mean A Brief History of Time?
W: Yes! (13) it was a real best-seller, mostly to people who put it on their book shelves and didn’t read it.
M: Oh! how is he doing now?
W: Very well. (14) He’s succeeded in living far longer than anyone expected him to! and even doctors asserted that he would die in a few years.
M: But what kind of life could he have with such disease like that? He’s managed to lead a fairly normal life. He has married twice and has three children and a grandchild now. I think he needs to use a computer for almost everything now, you know, speaking, writing, even eating.
M: He’s very unlucky! isn’t he? W: Well, in a way. (15) But he considers himself lucky. You know! despite his disability! he is regarded as one of the greatest minds of our time.
