　　Stephen Hawking was a British Scientist，professor and author who made great contributions to physics and cosmology (宇宙学)．His books helped to make science much easier to understand.Here is a brief introduction to his family and early years.

　　As the eldest of Frank and Isobel Hawking's four children, Stephen Hanking was born into a family of thinkers.His Scottish mother earned her way into Oxford University in the 1930s－a time when few women were able to go to college.His father, another Oxford graduate, was a medical researcher.

　　Stephen Hawking's birth came at an inopportune time for his parents, who didn't have much money.And England was dealing with World War Ⅱ.In an effort to look for a safer place，Isobel returned to Oxford to have their first child.The Hawkings would go on to have two other children, Mary(1943) and Philippa(1947)．And their second son, Edward, was adopted(收养)in 1956.

　　In 1950, Hawking's father was sent to Africa and spent the winter months there doing research.He wanted his eldest child to go into medicine, but at an early age, Hawking showed an interest in science and the sky.That was clear to his mother, who, along with her children, often relaxed in the backyard on summer evenings and looked at the stars."Stephen always had a strong sense of wonder，" she remembered."And I could see that the stars would draw him."

　　Hawking was also frequently on the go.With his sister Mary Hawking, who loved to climb, designed different entry routes into the family home.He loved to dance and also took an interest in rowing, becoming a team coxswain (舵手) in college.
