In spite of all these difficulties,he refused to give up his hope of living and went on to study at Cambridge University after graduating from Oxford University.In 1965,he got a Doctor's Degree of philosophy(哲学).Now he works as a professor at Cambridge University.Because of his serious illness,it was difficult for him to draw diagrams or to write.So he started to think in pictures.With this new way of thinking,he is respected by people in the world.Then in 1988,he wrote his first important book,A Brief History of Time.It has been sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages.He was once invited to China to give lectures.His self﹣confidence and humouous conversations impressed us deeply.
