As a child, he was slow to learn to talk. As a pupil, he was backward. But when he was fourteen years old, he became clever. He taught himself maths from textbooks. He studied hard because he wanted to be a physicist. In 1901,Einstein began teaching. In 1902 he continued his studies at the University of Zurich. Several years later, he formulated his famous Theory of Relativity. To most people the law of relativity is difficult to explain. But once Einstein explained it very well to a group of young students. He said: “When you sit with a good girl for two hours, you think it is only a minute. But when you sit on a hot stove for a minute, you think it’s two hours. That is relativity.” After Hitler came into power in Germany, Einstein went to America. In 1940, Einstein became an American citizen. In 1955, Einstein’s life ended at the age of seventy-six. 1. When Einstein was a pupil of twelve, he_________. A. was not quick in learning to talk B. was poor in his studies C. studied very hard D. hardly lagged behind 2. The law of relativity is_________. A. very hard for most people to understand B. too hard for Einstein himself to explain C. too hard to explain to anybody except Einstein D. easy to understand only for the young students 3. When did Einstein become an American citizen? A. He didn’t become an American citizen until he was 76 years old. B. Not until he had reached the age of 61 did he become an American citizen. C. He did not become an American citizen until 1955. D. He became an American citizen in the year when Hitler came into power. 4. Which of the following do you think is true? A. The Germans owed their scientific progress to Einstein. B. The Americans owed all their economic development to Einstein. C. Einstein made a great deal to the modern world. D. Einstein made a very great contribution to modern science. 5. Which of the following can be the best title? A. Theory of Relativity B. An American Citizen C. Albert Einstein D. Einstein’s Contribution B Scientists studied works of art made at various times in history and found most of the people shown in these works of art are right-handed. So scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common in humans through history. Because no one has ever come across records of any large groups of left-handed nations or people, scientists also guessed that right-handedness is a natural characteristic of humans. Today, only about 10 to 15 percent of the world’s population is left-handed. Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have very special jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things, hold things, or support things. The right hand is used to handle or work with things. This division of work seems to be related to how the two sides of the brain work. The right side of the brain, which controls the left hand, is strong in skills related to making a person’s hands and eyes work together. The left side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the center for thinking and solving problems. Studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists than among people in other jobs. What makes a person become right-handed rather than left-handed? So far, no one really knows for sure. Scientists have found that almost 40 percent of the people who suffer major brain damage when they are born become left-handed. However, not everyone who suffers brain damage becomes left-handedness, so scientists guess that there must be another reason. One simple idea suggests that people normally get right-handedness from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene for right-handedness, he or she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to chances and his or her surroundings. Even though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, nowadays people who are left-handed are no longer looked down on, nor are they considered abnormal. Left-handed children used to be punished until they began using their right hands like other children, but today either case is perfectly acceptable. 6. Which fact supports the idea that right-handedness is a natural characteristic? A. Scientist found the right-hand gene. B. Right-handed people are more clever. C. Most famous people were right-handed. D. No large left-handed groups of people exist in the world. 7. The second paragraph describes_________. A. the two hands separately B. the problems the left-handed people have C. the connection of the brain to the hands D. how a person becomes left-handed 8. What makes a person right-handed? A. Genes. B. Society. C. The environment. D. No one knows for certain. 9. People sometimes become left-handed because_________. A. it is accepted B. the left hand is more artistic C. their brain is damaged D. right-handed children are punished Ⅳ. 短文改错 Giving up his postgraduate studies, Xu Benyu came to Dafang, Guizhou as volunteer teacher in Yangdong Primary 1._________ School in 2003.
