Part II Reading 逐字稿
Albert Einstein, who is perhaps the greatest scientist in modern physics,is often considered one of the smartest men who ever lived. He made numerous contributions to the world, the most well-known being the general theory of relativity and the famous formula E=mc2. Einstein was not only a genius; he was a courageous and kind figure loved by many people.

阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦,也许是现代物理学中最伟大的科学家,通常被认为是有史以来最聪明的人之一。他对世界做出了许多贡献,最著名的是广义相对论和著名的公式E=mc2。爱因斯坦不仅是个天才,还是一个勇敢而善良的人,受到许多人的喜爱。
This gentle genius was born in Germany on 14 March 1879. When he was 16, he tried to enter university in Switzerland, but failed due to his low scores in the general part of the entrance exam, despite obtaining exceptional scores in maths and physics. After studying for another year, he managed to pass the exam, entering university in 1896 and graduating in 1900.

After two years of looking for work as a teacher, Einstein took a job as a clerk in the Swiss patent office. While working there, out of a strong passion for knowledge, he continued to study, earning a doctorate in physics in 1905. Th
