On March 14, 2018, one of science’s brightest stars went dark. Stephen Hawking, the world-famous British scientist, died at 78 in Cambridge, UK.
Hawking is considered to be the greatest scientist in history since Albert Einstein. He came up with the theory that the universe began with the Big Bang and will end in black holes. He also wrote books to help common people understand the universe. His most famous book is A Brief History of Time, which has sold more than 10 million copies around the world, according to CNN.
Besides his scientific achievements, Hawking was also someone who had a strong will and optimistic attitude.
When he was 21, he got a serious illness that stopped him from walking and talking. Later in life, he had to sit in a wheelchair and “speak” by using a computerized voice. But this didn't stop him from living a meaningful and colorful life. “If one is physically disabled（身体残疾）, one cannot afford to be psychologically（心理上）disabled as well,” he once said.
Hawking traveled the globe to attend science conferences, visiting every continent, including Antarctica（南极洲）. He was also a fan of pop culture and appeared on TV shows such as Star Trek（《星际迷航》）and The Big Bang Theory.
He celebrated his 60th birthday by going-up in-a hot-air balloon; when he was 65, he took part in a zero-gravity（零重力）flight to experience weightlessness. He hoped to travel into space one day.
In 2013, Hawking spoke about how he felt life was unfair when he was first diagnosed with his illness. “But now, 50 years later, I can be quietly satisfied with my life,” he said.
Which of the following statements is true according to the passage
At the age of 21, Hawking got seriously ill and couldn't see.
Hawking celebrated his 65th birthday by experiencing weightlessness.
On March 14, 2018, Hawking passed away at 78 in the USA.

Do you think you are smart In fact, most smart people have some same things. These include understanding how much they don’t know, high self-control and even a funny personality. You might think these similar features are developed separately（分离地）from intelligence（智慧）. But in fact, there is some scientific evidence（证据）to show that they are connected to intelligence.
Knowing how much you don’t know
Smart people would like t admit（承认）when they don’t know something, according to a study by Cornell University in the US he study found that the ls intelligent you are, the more you overestimate（高估）yourself. In one experiment, for example, students were asked to estimate their scores after taking a test. The students with lower scores overestimate how many questions they’d gotten right. Meanwhile, those with higher scores underestimated how many questions they’d gotten right.
High self-control
Scientists have found a link（关联）between self-control and intelligence. In a 2009 study published in the journal Psychological Science,participants（参加者）had to choose between two rewards（奖励）: a smaller amount of money that they could get at once or a larger amount of money that they could get later. The results showed that people who chose to receive the larger amount of money at a later date got higher in intelligence tests. These people had more self-control.
Being really funny
Do smart people have a better sense of humor Scientists at the University of New Mexico may think so. One of their studies found that people who wrote funner cartoon captions（解说词）scored higher in verbal（语言的）intelligence tests. Verbal intelligence is believed to be linked to overall intelligence.
