Stephen Hawking has said he believes brains could exist independently of the body after people die,but that the idea of a conventional afterlife(傳統(tǒng)意義上的死后重生)is a fairy tale.Speaking at the premiere(首映)of a documentary film about his life,Stephen Hawking said: "I think the brain is like a program in the mind,which is like a computer,so it's theoretically possible to copy the brain onto a computer and so provide a form of life after death."
   "However,this is way beyond our present scientific and technological level.I think the conventional afterlife is a fairy tale for people afraid of the dark." The author of "A Brief History of Time",who earlier approved of the right for the deadly ill to end their lives as long as safeguards were in place,suffered from motor neurone(運(yùn)動(dòng)神經(jīng)元)disease at the age of 21 and was given two to three years to live.
   "All my life 1 have lived with the menace of an early death,so I hate wasting time," Hawking said on Thursday night,using the computer-created voice he controls with a facial muscle and a blink(眨眼)from one eye.The documentary explores a brilliant schoolboy with unclear handwriting who enjoyed the life of Oxford University before illness led to a lifelong desire of discovery about the origins of the universe,which began as a graduate at Cambridge University and has shocked the world.
   Hawking's sister Mary says in the film that her brother was highly competitive and curious about everything in a household which friends described as very academic,and explains how she received a toy house as a present when they were children,to which Stephen immediately added electricity.
   She said that life with her brother was attractive and exciting. "It's a waste of time arguing with Stephen because he always manages to turn the argument round," she said.The film goes back to his childhood and his student days and shows the scientist,who uses a wheelchair,at home with break It also explores his family life with his first wife,Jane,and their three children,the breakdown of their marriage and his marriage to one of his carers.
   Jane appears on camera to explain how the pressures of caring for the children and the increasingly disabled Hawking became even worse once full-time nurses were brought into the home,destroying any privacy(隱私).His second wife and former nurse,Elaine Mason,does not appear in the film,and Hawking introduces their 1995-2007 marriage with a few pictures and a brief description.

  • 1.Sure,it's good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
       And yes,it's good to get along well with your teacher because,in general,it's smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life.
       In fact,kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more,but they're more comfortable about asking questions and getting extra help.This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and do their best on tests.When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher,he or she can be someone to turn to with problems,such as problems with learning or school issues.
       Here is a question:what if you don't get along well with your teachers?In fact,teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn.But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes(個(gè)性沖突),which can happen between any two people.If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better,he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen.By dealing with a problem like this,you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.

       ?Attend class ready to learn.

  • 2.Suppose you're in a rush,felling tired,not paying attention to your screen,and you send an email that could get you in trouble.
       Realisation will probably set in seconds after you've clicked "send".You freeze in horror and bum with shame.
       What to do?Here are four common email accidents,and how to recover.
       Clicking "send" too soon
       Don't waste your time trying to find out if the receiver has read it yet.Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief title explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.
       Writing the wrong name
       The sooner you notice,the better.Respond quickly and briefly,apologising for your mistake.Keep the tone measured:don't handle it too lightly,as people can be offended,especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture (i.e.incorrect ordering of Chinese names).
       Clicking "reply all" unintentionally
       You accidentally reveal(透露)to the entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner,or what holiday you'd like to take.In this instance,the best solution is to send a quick,light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness.But it can quickly rise to something worse,when everyone starts hitting "reply all" to join in a long and unpleasant conversation.In this instance,step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.
       Sending an offensive message to its subject
       The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger.You write an unkind message about someone,intending to send it to a friend,but accidentally send it to the person you're discussing.In that case,ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry.Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly -see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person.

    (1)After realizing an email accident,you are likely to feel

    A.curious
    B.tired
    C.a(chǎn)wful
    D.funny
    (2)If you have written the wrong name in an email,it is best to

    A.a(chǎn)pologise in a serious manner
    B.tell the receiver to ignore the error
    C.learn to write the name correctly
    D.send a short notice to everyone
    (3)What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your "reply all" email?

    A.Try offering other choices.
    B.Avoid further involvement.
    C.Meet other staff members.
    D.Make a light hearted apology.
    (4)What is the passage mainly about?
