He went to school in a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, He went first to Oxford University to study physic, then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology. As he himself admits, he didnt work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks. It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump(撞) into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. He had motor neuron disease, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23. At first, Hawking became very depressed. After a while, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, “Before my illness was diagnosed(诊断), I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing.

Before that, two islands without people went underwater in 1999.Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one meter by 2100.People can affect the earths air, land and water.
