Passage 2 （23-24八年级上·广东广州·期末）Albert Einstein Albert Einstein was a physicist who developed the general theory of relativity (广义相对论). He is one of the most famous and important scientists of the 20th century. Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Germany. His father was a salesman and engineer. He built a company to produce electrical machines. Little Einstein showed great interest in those machines made in the company. Einstein’s mother ran the family housework. Einstein had one sister, Maja, born two years after him. Towards the end of the 1880s, Max Talmud, who sometimes had dinner with the Einstein family, became a family teacher to young Einstein. Talmud had introduced Einstein to a children’s science book. It led Einstein to his dream about the science of light. In 1905, Einstein wrote four papers in the Annalen der Physik, one of the best-known physics newspapers at that time. Before that, at his age of 21, he had written his first famous article. Later in 1921, Einstein won the Nobel Prize for Physics. But because some other scientists still had questions about his ideas, he didn’t get the prize that year until the following year. As a physicist, Einstein had many famous findings, but he is perhaps best known for E=mc², which leads to the development of atomic power and the atomic bomb (原子弹). Einstein died on April 18, 1955, aged 76. When he was badly ill, he was taken to the hospital but he didn’t want to get an operation.

He is one of the most famous and important scientists of the 20th century. Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Germany. His father was a salesman and engineer. He built a company to produce electrical machines. Little Einstein showed great interest in those machines made in the company. Einstein’s mother ran the family housework. Einstein had one sister, Maja, born two years after him. Towards the end of the 1880s, Max Talmud, who sometimes had dinner with the Einstein family, became a family teacher to young Einstein. Talmud had introduced Einstein to a children’s science book. It led Einstein to his dream about the science of light. In 1905, Einstein wrote four papers in the Annalen der Physik, one of the best-known physics newspapers at that time. Before that, at his age of 21, he had written his first famous article. Later in 1921, Einstein won the Nobel Prize for Physics. But because some other scientists still had questions about his ideas, he didn’t get the prize that year until the following year. As a physicist, Einstein had many famous findings, but he is perhaps best known for E=mc², which leads to the development of atomic power and the atomic bomb (原子弹). Einstein died on April 18, 1955, aged 76. When he was badly ill, he was taken to the hospital but he didn’t want to get an operation.

He and his daughter, a very clever girl, lived in a small house. Ivan had a horse. As he didn’t have a place to keep it, he had to keep the mother horse in the neighbor’s garden. One day, the neighbour found a newly born baby horse under the tree. Surely, Ivan’s horse was the mother of the baby horse. Later, the neighbour told Ivan about the baby horse. He told Ivan that the tree was the mother of the baby horse because it was born under the tree. The baby horse belonged to him. Ivan was angry and wanted the horse back. So Ivan and his neighbour went to the king. The king listened to words on both sides patiently and said, “The truth is hard to tell. I’ve decided to set you two questions. Come back in four days and give me your answers. The person who answers the questions honestly shall win.” The questions were as follows: What’s the richest and fattest thing in the world? And what’s the sweetest thing? The neighbour went to her grandmother for help. His grandma said, “The richest and fattest thing is our pig. And the sweetest thing in the world is our little grandson.” Ivan went back to his house, looking upset. His little girl asked what happened, and he told her all about the king’s questions. She said, “The richest and fattest thing in the world is the earth. It gives us all our food. And the sweetest thing in the world is love.” Four days later, Ivan, with his daughter, came to the king. And so did the neighbor. The king listened to their answers, and turned to the neighbour. “Who helped you with your answers?” “Nobody, Sir,” said the neighbor. “I found out the answers all by myself.” The king did not believe him, and turned to Ivan. “And who helped you with your homework?” “I asked my daughter. She is really a smart girl, Sir.” “I see you are very clever, little girl,” the king said to Ivan’s daughter. “You and your father seem very poor. How do you live?” “Well, Sir,” said the girl. “Papa catches the fish living in trees.” “What?” asked the king. “That’s impossible because fishes don’t live in trees.” “Yes, Sir,” replied the wise girl. “And a tree can’t be the mother of a baby horse.” 1．Which word best describes (描述) the neighbour in the story? ________ A．Wise.

Everyone who had such a lunch was fair-skinned (浅色皮肤) and spoke Italian. Surprisingly, a few years later, as I stood in the crowd waiting for lunch in a school in Brooklyn, the city I grew up after I came to the US, I realized things were no longer that easy. My classmates were so different. Some had fair skin (皮肤) and large blue eyes. Others had rich brown skin and dark hair. The food they chose was almost as different as the students. In front of me was a number of foods I couldn’t even name in my mother language. Worrying that I would pick out something terrible, I tried to ask the boy before me for some suggestions. Unluckily, between us stood the problem of language. Well, my school experience in Brooklyn feels like a century ago, but the lessons I have learned will be in my mind forever. For the past three summer holidays, I have taken a part-time job in New York. People from different countries were just like the little girl in the crowd waiting for lunch. I often had to be a helper for the Italian-speaking ones. As I was working as a bridge of language connection, I always thought of the time before I learned English. I suddenly felt how lucky I was to be able to speak two languages. In my work there, I’ve learned about different cultures that I didn’t know before. This work showed me a new world. I knew that it was impossible to learn that inside the four walls of a classroom.
