a look at what Albert Einstein was doing at the age of 26.
100 years ago, Einstein was working in Switzerland. His hobby was physics. Without much money or
help, he wrote five papers (论文) for a physics magazine. Three of these greatly changed the study of
physics and our understanding of space, time, light and matter (物质). His most famous work is on the
Theory of Relativity (相对论). Einstein was given the Nobel Prize (诺贝尔奖) for it is discoveries. Although
he did many other things later, 1905 has been called Einstein"s "Year of Wonders (奇迹)". It has been 100
years since then. Because of this, the UN has named 2005 me World Year Of Physics.
Fifty years after Einstein"s death, a question is asked, "Will there ever be another Einstein?" It may take a
1ong time. After all, Einstein was born more than 200 years after Sir Isaac Newton, another great scientist.
Besides, physics is a different field (领域) now, and education is different, too. Even if you can"t be the
next great scientist, it is still helpful to remember some of the things that made Einstein great. He thought
independently (独立地) and read widely. He left us with a formula (公式) for life: If A is a success in life,
men A=X+Y+Z.X is work; Y is play; and Z iskeeping your mouth shut. | | 1. What was the field of Einstein"s study? | | [ ] | A. Physics.

D.looked | | 阅读理解。 | When Webster was young, he was a teacher. But he quickly became tired of the books he used in
classes. They were all about the English people and places. Since he wanted books that would be
interesting to American children, he wrote three books with many American examples.
Webster worked industriously (勤奋地) to change the spelling of American English. He wanted
words to be spelled in the same way they were pronounced (发音). For example, he thought the word
"laugh" should be spelled "1af".
One day he walked into a print shop and gave the boy there a piece of paper. "Young man," he said,
"when you print any please don"t spell as English people do. For example when you print these words
"theatre, centre, colour, and labour (劳动)", please always print them as "theater, center, color,
and labor"." The boy studied it and answered, "OK, but I must ask my boss first."
With the money he made from his books, Webster could start his work, which took him more
than twenty years to finish. In 1828, the first American English dictionary was born. And today,
Webster"s dictionary is thought to be the most important American dictionary in the whole world. | | 1. What kind of books did he use when Webster was young? | [ ] | A. Books about Great Britain.
