学生结合自己已有的《曹冲称象》的背景知识讨论以上四个问题。
Possible answers:
They met each other on their way home.
Because Einstein was wearing his sweater backwards, the girl thought he could not be very clever.
She wanted to know why he spent so much time with her daughter.
The girl told Einstein the truth about his look and brought him cookies. In return, Einstein helped the girl with her Maths homework.
One afternoon, Einstein was walking home from work. At the same time, a 12-year-old girl was walking home from school. They were soon walking side by side. The girl looked at him curiously from time to time.
“Pardon me,” the girl said, “but you look just like Albert Einstein.”
“That’s because I am Albert Einstein!” Einstein said.
“I don’t believe you,” the girl said. “Everyone knows that Einstein is a genius. But you’re wearing your sweater backwards, so you can’t be very clever.”
Einstein began to laugh. “You’re the first person to be so honest with me,” he said to the girl. “It’s a pleasure to hear someone tell me the truth about my look.”
Einstein and the little girl
After that day, the girl often went to visit Einstein’s house after school. One afternoon, the girl’s mother went to visit Einstein. She asked him why he spent so much time with her daughter.
“Our friendship is easy to explain,” Einstein said. “Your daughter tells me the truth about my look and brings me cookies. In return, I help her with her Maths homework.”
