四、阅读理解。
Albert Einstein and Wolfgang Mozart are possibly the two most famous examples of people who are geniuses(天才).But unlike Mozart, Einstein wasn’t very talented as a kid.Born in Germany in 1879,he was slow to learn to speak,and he was a normal student at school. He was interested in math and science,but he liked to study at home better. Later, he studied to be a teacher, but he didn’t find a job in a school and for some years he was an office worker. A lot of Einstein’s most famous ideas were the result of study in his free time when he also played the violin to relax.
From 1908,he was a university teacher for many years,first in Europe and then in the US. He was the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921.He was famous for his theory of relativity(相对论),but only several scientists could understand it. His biggest dream was to find one explanation for the basic(基础的) ideas in physics,but he died before this was possible.
As a famous scientist, Einstein got letters from people around the world.Some of the letters were from children and he always answered them.One letter was from a girl with math problems at school.“Do not worry about your difficulties in math.”was his answer.“I can tell you that mine are still greater.”
Einstein died in a hospital in 1955. He was named “Person of the Century” in 1999 by Time.
