1. Make a list of five points about the significant things that took place in the 20 the Century.
Read the passage below and answer questions 2-4.
As his reputation as scientist soared higher and higher, fate followed with less rewarding things. Stephen Hawking gradually started losing control over the muscles of his body as victim of Gehrigs disease. Since the age of thirty, he has been confined to a wheel chair with no power to control his body except for some limited movement of his head and hands only. He can speak only through a computer with a voice synthesizer that converts his message into sounds. But such a tremendous physical handicap has not managed to dishearten or slow him down. Stephen is still a relentless worker using his computer to carry out research work as well as deliver lectures. He lives with his wife and three daughters and is provided with twenty-four hour nursing facilities by an American organization for his physical well-being.

a) How is fate to Stephen Hawking?
b) Why has Stephen been confined to a wheel chair?
c) How does he carry out his work?
