Stephen Hawking, the brightest star in science, whose insights shaped modern cosmology and inspired global audiences in the millions, has died aged 76. We asked our readers to tell us the impact Stephen Hawking had on their lives.
Heather Wolf
After breaking my neck. I was terrified of my future. I often thought of Hawking, loving life and producing extraordinary works of genius in physics from a wheelchair. Knowing he existed drove me to endure pain and physical limitations because he showed with his life and with his actions that life is absolutely precious and that the scope of it is bounded only by our will and imagination.
Alexander McQueen:
For the majority of my life I have struggled with mental illness. I had depression from a very early age, and attempted to commit suicide on a number of occasions in my darkest moments. It was then that I read Hawking’s quote. “Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. And however difficult life my seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up. "These words coming from a man who was suffering from such a painful illness seemed a very powerful message to me. I will be forever grateful to Hawking for uttering those words and sparking off the journey that helped me to come to terms with myself.
Silvia Mallaschitz:
I discovered his books at a time when I had no real interests or direction in life. The fascination with physics and the universe his books set off made me realize how much I truly don’t know. He was really the one who sparked my interest in studying physics on my own. His approach to making the general readers easily understand even difficult topics with a lot of humour was amazing. Science needs more of such popular stars like him. The universe is a darker place without him.
24. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Stephen Hawking’s impact on popular science.
B. Stephen Hawking’s struggle against his disease.
C. Stephen Hawking’s influence on readers' lives.
D. Readers' reaction to Stephen Hawking’ s death.
25. What can be inferred about Heather Wolf?
A. He was probably restricted to a wheelchair.
B. He was to blame for his injury in his neck.
C. He suffered depression from a very early age.
D. He took interest in studying physics on his own.
26. How did Alexander McQueen feel just before he read Hawking’s quote?
A. He felt very annoyed B. He felt very desperate
C. He felt very confused D. He felt very delighted
27. According to Silvia Mallaschitz, Stephen Hawking’s books are______________.
A. abstract B. conventional C . accessible D. controversial
C
Over the summer, employees at a Japanese marketing firm noticed that not all of their colleagues were working the same number of hours.
Smokers at the company, Piala, stepped away from their desks for cigarette breaks. Despite the time the smokers were away from work, everyone left the office at the same time. Non-smokers at the agency complained about the unfairness to the chief executive, whose response in September has drawn nationwide attention. Employees at Piala who did not smoke, the company announced, would be rewarded with up to six additional vacation days a year.
"I hope to encourage employees to quit smoking through motivation rather than penalties," Takao Asuka, the company's chief executive said.
The new benefit comes as other companies in Japan grapple with (对……绞尽脑汁) how to encourage their own workers to make healthier choices and as the government faces pressure to ban public smoking before the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
About 20 percent of Japanese smoke ( the number in Piala is 35%), which ranks the highest rate in the world.Smoking remains part of the culture and work environment in Japan, where it is common for companies to provide smoking rooms for employees.
Broader anti-smoking efforts in the country have been met with resistance, despite pressure from international groups like the World Health Organization (WHO) to make the Tokyo Olympics a smoke-free event. Additionally, the Japanese government holds a stake (股份) in Japan Tobacco, the multinational tobacco giant, which critics say compromises its smoking policy.
Some government leaders have embraced a public ban on smoking, including at restaurants, government buildings and hospitals. But other members of the government—worrying about the impact of a ban on government tax income—have blocked legislation (立法) so far.
28. The underlined word "which" refers to “_____________”.
A. the Tokyo Olympics B. the Japanese government
C. the stake in Japan Tobacco D. the multinational tobacco giant
29. According to the passage, the following statements about the company Piala are WRONG except_____________.
A. its employees are not equally treated when it comes to working hours
B. its employees are encouraged to quit smoking through penalties
C. there are approximately one fifth of its employees who smoke
D. there being no smoking room makes its employees quit smoking
30. We can learn form the passage that____________.
A. Piala is the first company to ban smoking in Japan
B. the Tokyo Olympics demands non-smoking areas in public
C. it is common to have smoking rooms in Japanese companies
D. some international groups resist the anti-smoking efforts
31. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. Olympic Games! No Smoking! B. Smoke in the Office? No way!
C. Heavy Smokers? More Work! D. Non-smokers? Extra Days Off!
D
DoneGood, a new browser extension and mobile app, helps you find ethical(道德的)and sustainable alternatives names when you shop for anything online. All you need to do is download free extension, and when you search for an item ("men's dress shirts "for example) DoneGood will connect you to better businesses that support workers' rights and environmental protection.
As a company, DoneGood's aim is to build tech products that lead U.S. consumers to "new businesses you can feel good about supporting.”They built the browser extension because it almost means people don't have to spend any more time or do anything differently than they already do when they shop online.

Examples include Tuckerman & C., which focuses on a cleaner supply chain and fair labor, and The Root Collective, which aims to empower women in Guatemala to hit themselves out of poverty.
But these are smaller businesses, which means they are often drown in the SEO from larger companies, and that makes it harder for customers to find them. The new extension and mobile app give these companies more visibility.
As a result, they're offering deals to DoneGood users to save your money. The extension will automatically show you discounts in your browser, which means more bang for your buck.
The DoneGood mobile app has the same goals, but the experience puts you in the driver's seat. You can choose causes and issues that you care about most, whether it's a company that's green, owned by women and people of color, makes products in the United States or actively promotes cruelty-free practices.
Then you can choose what you're looking for-men's shirts, women jeans, shoes, and you'll get a tailored(量身定制的) list of business that are right to you.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am pleased to learn about your appeal to spend a Saturday without using smart phones. I’m very glad to join in the activity. Smart phones are playing an important role nowadays, making it easier for us to communicate and deal with work. But at the same time, we seem to be losing the skills of face-to-face communication.
My plans for this Saturday are as follows. After getting up, I would like to invite my friends to go for a morning run in the park. It is a good idea to help my parents prepare a big meal at noon, after which my family will spend the whole afternoon enjoying the latest movie together. In the evening, we will stay at home, reading books.
It is really a meaningful activity, so I am eager to call on more people around me to participate in the activity.
Yours,
Li Hua
