五、阅读理解
A
Einstein was a well-known scientist all over the world. In 1899, he studied at a famous university in Zurich.
Once Einstein asked his professor Minkevsky, “How can a person, like me, leave his clear footprints on the road of science and make a great contribution (贡献)?” Minkevsky said that it was such a complicated problem that he had to think about it for some time and he would give him an answer later.
Three days later, Minkevsky told Einstein that the answer was coming. But he didn’t say anything. Instead, they walked towards a building site. He asked Einstein to set foot on a concrete (混凝土制的)road that the workers had just finished. All the workers shouted at him. Einstein couldn’t understand and asked, “Sir, are you leading me the wrong way?”
“Can’t you see?” Minkevsky replied. “You can only leave deep footprints on the new concrete road. The old road has been hard for a long time. Many people leave steps on the old road. You cannot find your footprints there.” Hearing that, Einstein thought for a long time and nodded.
After that, a very strong sense of innovation (创新)began to guide Einstein’s thought and action. He tried again and again to discover new theories (理论) Nobody could tell him what to do. No books could guide him. But he said, “I never memorize what dictionaries carry. My brain only remembers those things that are not included in books.” It was because of this that Einstein left his shining footprints in the history of science.
( )1. What does the underlined word “complicated” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Different. B. Simple.
C. Difficult. D. Traditional.

A. To think about the question carefully.
B. To read more books.
C. To talk with the building workers.
D. To walk on the new concrete road.
( )3. What did Einstein learn from Minkevsky according to the passage?
A. He should learn nothing from others.
B. He should discover new theories with the help of Minkevsky.
C. Memorizing the things included in books could make him successful.
D. Having a sense of innovation was the key to success.
( )4. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Setting a goal in your mind.
