22、        Stephen Hawking is one of the most famous scientists in this century. He was born in 1942. He’s a world well-known scientist and expert on space and time. Stephen is researching (研究) some very big questions, such as: How did the universe begin? How will it end?     

        Stephen was a student at Oxford University (大学). He studied Maths and Science. Then, at the age of twenty, he became sick. He was so young, but the doctors said to his family. “He has only two more years to live.” In fact, the doctors were wrong—he didn’t die. He can’t walk but he uses a wheelchair (轮椅). He can’t feed himself and get in or out of bed himself. But he refused to give in to the condition. He talks with the help of a computer. After Oxford, Stephen went to Cambridge University. Three years later, in 1965, he became a doctor of philosophy (哲学博士).

       Because of his health problems, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams (图表) or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world. In 1981, he met the Pope (教皇) in Rome. They talked about his ideas. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages. He was once invited to China.

23、   All the planets in the solar system go around the sun. There are eight planets in the solar system. Years ago, there were nine planets. Ever since Pluto (冥王星) was demoted (使降级), we’ve had just eight planets.

Some scientists have studied the farthest reaches（研究）of our solar system. They believe there might be another planet out there. They call it Planet Nine. What would Planet Nine be like? Scientists believe it could be about three times larger and ten times heavier than the earth.

If Planet Nine is out there, why haven’t we found it yet? Scientists are still reaching for it because it’s so far away. They believe it could take Planet Nine as long as 20,000 years to go around the Sun. Scientists also think Planet Nine could be as much as 10,000 times darker than Pluto.

It is very difficult to search for such a dark planet in the whole solar system. Could our solar system have a ninth planet? We hope to know the answer in the near future.

A．scientists are still reaching for Planet Nine
