Recently, Cristofaro-Gardiner and Hutchings proved that there exist at least two closed characteristics on every compact star-shaped hypersuface in ${\bf R}^4$. Then Ginzburg, Hein, Hryniewicz, and Macarini gave this result a second proof. In this paper, we give it a third proof by using index iteration theory, resonance identities of closed characteristics and a remarkable theorem of Ginzburg et al.
