The greatest scientists were famous not only for their discoveries, but also for their interesting lives. Having a special, uncommon mind often goes hand in hand with unusual acts.

Nikola Tesla is known for many inventions. One is the alternating current (AC) electricity. While inventing it, Tesla was good at keeping things in mind, because he used picture thinking and imagined every step in his mind before even picking up a pencil. Tesla said he wanted to do it because of his mother, who invented small electrical machines when he was a child.

In his later years, Tesla had many strange habits. He slept only two hours every night and dined at exactly 8:10 p. m. After dinner, he’d often work until 3 a. m. Before bed, Tesla curled (卷曲) each foot 100 times, saying it was good for his brain.

Another scientist encouraged by his mother was Albert Einstein, though what he got from his mother was a love of music. In fact, Einstein often played music on the piano and the violin to help him brainstorm.

Einstein’s achievements include the most famous equation (方程式) E=mc2 and his theory of relativity. However, thanks to his wild hair, he was also well-known for the looks of a "mad scientist" and you can tell that he had some interesting quirks (个性). For example, he had a strong dislike of wearing socks. And Einstein was so withdrawn (内向的) as a boy that he couldn’t speak until he was three.

Sometimes, the smartest of us are also the strangest. That quiet child in the corner may be the next Tesla or Einstein one day.

4. How did Tesla remember things?

A. By drawing mind-maps. B. By reading aloud.

C. By taking things down. D. By thinking in pictures.

5. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Tesla hated having to wear socks.

B. Tesla did some foot exercises before bed.

C. Einstein was outgoing when he was a child.

D. Einstein was also famous for his hair color.

6. What did Tesla and Einstein have in common?

A. They both thought and acted in unusual ways.

B. They both had great inventions of the electricity.

C. They both played the piano well for better working.

D. They both took up inventing because of their mothers.

7. What does the writer mainly want to tell us about?

A. The inventions of great people in the world.

B. The living habits of smart people around us

C. The two great mothers of Tesla and Einstein.

D. The special things about well-known scientists.

Many students today learn programming (编程). But some are not sure if they should choose to learn it. What’s programming education like? What do students think of it?

Types of Programming Education

There are two types of programming education: software (软件) programming and hardware (硬件) programming. Software programming is about writing instructions to solve a problem, while hardware programming uses programming languages to control hardware.

Types of Programming Languages Scratch

Scratch allows beginners to create games with pictures. It only requires basic math and English knowledge. Scratch can help develop your interest in programming.

Python

Python is very easy to learn. Reading a good Python programme feels like reading English paragraphs. Usually, students can start learning Python in the higher grades of primary school. After learning Python, you can develop games and things like a calculator (计算器).

C++
