Unit3 Never give up Reading 1 Against the odds Dream My dream, it started very small, A seed inside of me. I thought about it every day, And wondered what it would be. My dream, it seemed so far away, But still that little seed grew. I thought about it every day, And hoped it could come true. My dream, it is in front of me. It's a journey I must start. I'll work towards it every day, To achieve what's in my heart. Last class we read the poem Dream, we knew every dream is a small dandelion seed.

He is not only a great scientist who made amazing achievements in studying the universe, but also a man with strong courage. He suffered from a serious disease for most of his life, yet he held a positive attitude and never gave up his research. His spirit of fighting against difficulties inspires people all over the world. Further thinking 2.How do you understand the title“Stephen Hawking: the mind beyond the wheelchair”？ His body was trapped in a wheelchair because of his terrible illness, but his mind was totally free and unlimited. He broke through physical limits, explored the mysteries of the universe and made amazing scientific achievements. His great thoughts and strong spirit far surpassed his disabled body. That is why the title says his mind goes beyond the wheelchair. If you were Hawking after the diagnosis, would you give up your dream? Why? Discuss Definitely not. Even if I was faced with such a serious disease, I would stick to my dream. Hawking’s story tells us that physical limits cannot control our thoughts.
