Article 2: Barene
When I was a child, I became disabled because of illness. My mother's heart ached, but she still fought back her grief. She thinks that what children need most now is encouragement and help, not mother's tears. Mother came to Barone's sickbed, took his hand and said, "Son, mother believes that you are an ambitious person. I hope you can bravely walk on the road of life with your own legs! Good Barene, can you promise your mother? " Mother's words hit Barene's heart like a hammer. He threw himself into his mother's arms and burst into tears. Since then, whenever my mother is free, she will practice walking and doing gymnastics for Barene, and she is often so tired that she sweats. Once my mother caught a bad cold. She felt that a mother should not only teach by example, but also set an example. Despite her high fever, she got out of bed as planned to help Barene practice walking.

When I grow up, I am determined to engage in simple literary creation. Be a "king of literature". I have been writing at my desk in the attic all day since the summer of 18 19.

Chapter 7: Hawking
Hawking, a scientist, seems to have a weak learning ability when he was a child. He learned to read very late. After school, he never got into the top 65,438+00 in his class. Moreover, because his homework is always "untidy", his teachers think he is "hopeless" and his classmates regard him as the object of ridicule.
When Hawking 12 years old, two boys in the class took a bag of candy and bet that he would never succeed. The classmates ironically nicknamed him "Einstein". Who knows, after more than 20 years, the little boy who was not outstanding in those days really became a master of physics. What is the reason?
As it turns out, with the growth of age, Hawking became interested in how everything works. He often takes things apart to get to the bottom of them, but when he reassembles them, there is nothing he can do. However, his parents didn't punish him for it, and his father even served as a "coach" in mathematics and physics for him.
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, Hawking found himself very interested in the study of physics. Although middle school physics is too easy and simple, it is particularly boring, but he thinks it is the most basic science, which is expected to solve the problem of where people come from and why they are here. Since then, Hawking has started a real scientific exploration.
