In his 1988 best seller A Brief history of Time, Stephen
Hawking made readers wonder: if the universe is expanding,
where is it expanding to?
Now Hawking has teamed up his daughter, Lucy Hawking, to 1.______
write George’s Secret Key to the Universe, the first in a trilogy of
novels directed at the fertile minds of children. In an interview
on e-mail, Hawking explains: “The aim of the book is to encourage 2.______
children’s sense of wonder at the universe. We want them to
look up outward. Only then will they be able to make the right 3.______
decisions to safeguard the future of the human race.”
George’s Secret Key to the Universe, aimed 9- to 11-year-olds, 4.______
tells the story of a young boy, George, and a cheery astrophysicist,
Eric, who talking computer opens a portal to the known 5.______
universe. The duo don spacesuits and use the portal to search
for planets to which humanity can escape the irreversible 6.______
warming of the earth. Along the way, George and the reader
learn from the basics of astrophysics and astronomy through 7.______
illustrations and captioned photographs. “You don’t need an
actual secret key to explore the universe,” George ultimately 8.______
discovers. “There’s one that everyone can use. It’s called physics.”
The Hawkings portray the universe as harmony and 9.______
largely benign. But our present knowledge of the universe suggests
that it is, in fact, a desolate and often violent expanse place in 10.______
which humankind plays an inconsequential role.
