Stephen Hawking was born in England in 1942. He was a world-famous scientist who made great contributions to physics and cosmology. However, his life was full of challenges.

Many people would have lost hope in such a situation, but not Hawking. He had a surprisingly positive attitude towards life. "Although I cannot move and I have to speak through a computer, in my mind I am free," he once said. He continued his research and wrote many important books. His most famous book, A Brief History of Time, has been translated into over 30 languages and sold more than 25 million copies.

Why do some people succeed while others fail? One important reason is that successful people never give up easily.
Life is full of difficulties. We all face problems in our studies, work or relationships. When things go wrong, many people choose to stop trying. They say, "It's too hard," or "I can't do it." But successful people think differently. They see difficulties as challenges. They believe that every problem has a solution.
Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before he invented the light bulb. When asked how he felt about failing so many times, he said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." This is the spirit of never giving up.
Of course, never giving up does not mean doing the same thing again and again without thinking. It means learning from mistakes, trying new ways and keeping going until you succeed.
Remember, failure is not the opposite of success. It is part of success. So the next time you want to give up, tell yourself: just one more try.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Failure is terrible.
B. Successful people never give up.
C. Edison invented the light bulb.
D. Life is full of difficulties.
12. What do many people do when facing difficulties?
A. They keep trying. B. They ask for help.
C. They stop trying. D. They change goals.
13. What did Edison mean by his words?
A. He liked failing.
B. He found the right way at last.
C. He failed 10,000 times.
D. He didn't want to invent anything.
14. What does the writer say about never giving up?
A. It means trying the same way.
B. It means never thinking.
C. It means learning from mistakes.
D. It means asking others for help.
15. What is the writer's attitude towards failure?
A. It is part of success.
B. It is the opposite of success.
C. It is useless.
D. It is avoidable.

One possible version:
Never Give Up
Last year, I decided to learn to play the guitar. However, it was much harder than I expected. My fingers hurt after pressing the strings, and I could not play a simple song smoothly. I wanted to give up.
One day, my music teacher told me about Stephen Hawking. Although he could not move or speak normally, he never stopped exploring the universe. His story inspired me deeply. I thought, "If he never gives up, why should I?"
Since then, I have practised every day for at least half an hour. Whenever I felt like giving up, I remembered Hawking's courage. Slowly, I could play some simple songs. Last month, I even performed at our school party.
This experience taught me an important lesson: where there's a will, there's a way. No matter what difficulties we face, we should never give up.
