24、ork TimesStephen Hawking, the brightest star in the firmament（天 空） of science, whose insights shaped modern cosmology（ 宇 宙 论 ） and inspired global audiences in the millions, has died aged 76. His family released a statement in the early hours of Wednesday morning confirming his death at his home in
25、Cambridge. Hawkings children, Lucy, Robert and Tim said in a statement: “We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today.” “He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years to come. His courage and persistence with his brilliance an
26、d humor inspired people across the world.”When Hawking was diagnosed with motor neuronal （ 神 经 元 的 ） disease in 1963 at the age of 21, doctors expected him to live for only two more years. But Hawking had a form of the disease that progressed more slowly than usual. He survived for more than half a
27、century and long enough for his disability to define him. His popularity would surely have been diminished without it. Those who live in the shadow of death are often those who live most.For Hawking, the early diagnosis of his terminal disease, and witnessing the death from leukaemia of a boy who he
28、 knew in hospital, ignited（ 点 燃 ） a fresh sense of pursue. “Although there was a cloud hanging over my future, I found, to my surprise, that I was enjoying life in the present more than before. I began to make progress with my research,” he once said. Embarking (着手) on his career in earnest, he decl

33、s another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal. Scientists at the website How Stuff Works
34、compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates ou
35、r most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival. A craving is more complex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain
36、 activated during drug-craving studies. So, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure. In a 2007 study, researcher
37、s at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of ti
38、me lessened food cravings. So, the next time you crave something very specific, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach. 32. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To remind readers of their own special food. B. To deepen the understanding of hunger. C. To report the disc
39、overy of craving study. D. To lead to the topic of the whole passage. 33. What do we learn about food craving?A. It shows food is linked to feelings. B. It ensures a person survives hunger. C. It means the stomach functions well. D. It proves the brain decides your appetite. 34. Whats the likely res
40、ult of dieting?A. The decrease of chemicals. B. The increase of food desire. C. The refusal of fat and sugar.D. The disappearance of appetite. 35. What does the passage mainly discuss?A.
