( A ) I was coming back from shopping on a Tuesday afternoon and I was late . I left the car out with the engine(发动机)working on, took out the house key and went inside. I put my two parcels down, ran out and got the rest. I left the engine working because I had to pass a message to someone else. Besides, it would take me a minute to put away the milk and cheese and the other things. So I got everything put away and ran out of the house for the car. But it was not there. It had taken only a minute and I felt very sad. When I looked up and down the street, I saw Bob and the police. I told them what had happened and they started a search for it. Three days later, the car suddenly appeared in the street. I ran over and found a little note on the window of the car. It said,“Sorry, I took your car but needed it for a sudden happening. Please forgive(原谅) the inconvenience(不方便). Hope you will use these.” And there were two baseball tickets in the car. Well, Bob and I guessed it wasn’t so bad.

Different weather makes people feel different . It infuences(影响) health, intellingence(智力) and feelings. In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the USA. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West , it is very hot sometimes and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March. The weather can also influence intellingence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ of a group of students were very high when a very wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% below. The wind can help people have more intellingence. Very hot weather , or on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of th United Stated get worse on exams in the hot months of the year ( July and August). Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At the temperature of 18℃, people become stronger. Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low pressure days.

( D ) Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Albans---a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology. As he himself admits(承认), he didn’t work hard.

He also went on to do some of the most important scientific research. Today, Hawing still works at Cambridge University as a professor.
