He has been in a wheelchair for 40 years, and only three fingers can move around. Voice and answering questions can only be realized by a voice synthesizer. However, his popular science book A Brief History of Time has many readers all over the world.

Is he alone? King of the universe? Stephen? Hawking.

Fate is cruel to Hawking. 1963, when Hawking was 2 1 year-old, he unfortunately suffered from Luger's disease, which would lead to muscle atrophy, and soon he was completely paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair for a long time. 1985, Hawking had a tracheal puncture operation due to pneumonia, and completely lost the function of speaking. Forty years later, the disease has completely deformed his body: his head can only be tilted to the right, his shoulders are low on the left and high on the right, his hands are tight in the middle, he holds a palm-sized mimetic keyboard, and his feet are twisted inward. The mouth is crooked into an S-shape. Just smile and it will appear immediately? Grinning? The way it looks. Now, this has become his iconic image. He can't write, and he has to rely on a book turning machine to read. When reading a document, he must spread out every page on a big desk, and then read it page by page in a wheelchair like a silkworm eating mulberry leaves.

Doctors have diagnosed Hawking as terminally ill and can only live for two years, but he survived tenaciously, and it is in this unimaginable hardship that he became a world-recognized scientific giant. Although his body never left the wheelchair, his thoughts flew out of the earth, out of the solar system, out of the Milky Way, into the depths of the universe tens of billions of light years away, and into the mysterious black hole. He imagines, demonstrates and calculates in his mind. He thought about when the universe began and whether time had an end. He discovered the evaporation of black holes, deduced the big bang of black holes, and established a very beautiful and scientific model of the universe. He was elected as the youngest member of the Royal Society, and became a professor of Lucason's mathematics lecture, which only great scientists like Newton could attend.

He would rather think quietly about the fate of the universe alone than be worshipped all day. He usually hangs a sign in front of the office, which reads:

? Please keep quiet, the host is sleeping. ?

That may not be true. Hawking just doesn't want to be disturbed by outsiders. At this time, he must be sitting in this comfortable hut with a high ceiling and working quietly in front of the computer for several hours. Among the two or three pots of plants around, there are photos of his three children. Every afternoon at 4 o'clock, he will talk with graduate students with the help of nurses. They have afternoon tea and exchange views on the universe. If a student questions his theory, he will grin at once.

Hawking's charm lies not only in his legendary physical genius, but also in his convincing life force. His constant pursuit of scientific spirit and brave and tenacious personality strength deeply touched the public.

Once, at the end of the academic report, a young female reporter was the first to jump on the podium. Facing the great scientist who had been living in a wheelchair for more than 30 years at that time, she was deeply admired and asked without pity. Mr. Hawking, your illness keeps you in a wheelchair forever. Don't you think fate has lost you too much?

This question was obviously abrupt and sharp, and the lecture hall was suddenly silent.

Hawking's face is still full of quiet smile. He tapped the keyboard with his fingers that were still moving. So, with the standard London cavity of the synthesizer, the huge projection screen slowly and conspicuously shows the following words:

My fingers are still moving,

My brain can still think;

I have an ideal that I have pursued all my life.

I love and love my relatives and friends;

By the way, I still have a grateful heart.

When the heart trembles, the applause thunders. People flocked to the stage and gathered around this extraordinary scientist to pay sincere respect to him.

Textbook analysis

What is this lesson about? King of the universe? Stephen Hawking, a famous scientist, was completely paralyzed and sat in a wheelchair for a long time. Facing the unimaginable difficulties of ordinary people, he still tirelessly explored the unknown world of the universe, bravely and tenaciously challenged his destiny, and made important contributions to the scientific cause, which gave people a strong shock and touched people's hearts. The full text *** 12 is described in three parts, with clear hierarchy, prominent focus and specific description. The first part (paragraph 1-2) tells that stephen hawking who wrote A Brief History of Time is called? King of the universe? . The second part (paragraphs 3-7) describes the story of Hawking, who has been paralyzed for 40 years, still stubbornly conducting scientific exploration under the cruel torture of his illness. The third part (paragraphs 8 to 12) tells about Hawking's constant pursuit of scientific spirit and brave and tenacious personality strength, which deeply touched the public.
