Albert Einstein was one of the greatest minds of the last century. During his lifetime, Einstein
thought about the universe(宇宙) and solved many problems in physics. Einstein is most famous for
the Theory of Relativity(相对论).
Einstein was born in Germany in 1879. After he finished school, he went on to study physics
in Switzerland. In 1905, Einstein began to write articles and became a pioneer in the field of modern
physics. For one of those articles, he received the Nobel Prize in 1921.
Einstein taught at universities in Switzerland and Germany. He left Germany in 1933 and went
to teach at Princeton University(普林斯顿大学) in the United States. Einstein died in 1955. He wrote his last letter before he left us. The letter asked people to
give up nuclear weapons(核武器).

is not to stop questioning.” “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”

Ⅳ.任务型阅读
When Dr Karen McComb came to Amboseli Park, her first task was to learn the names of the one
hundred or so elephants most often seen. Scientists working in the park have learned to study elephants by watching them up close. They
have a list of almost one thousand elephants. There are records for all of the elephants born since
1972.Amboseli was a good place for Dr McComb to study animal communications. Elephants were a great
subject because their lifestyle depends on communication.
Dr McComb and her team had learned a lot about elephant communication, but they kept on thinking
about one puzzling(困惑的) watch. Some families were better at distinguishing calls of friends from
those of strangers.
What made some families smarter than others? The scientists searched their records for an
explanation. To their surprise, there was only one factor(因素) of importance. The “smartest”
families always had the oldest grandmothers. A family, as it did in all other activities, waited
for some signals(信号) from the grandmother when they heard a strange contact call. And older, more
experienced grandmothers were better at telling whether other elephants were strangers or friends
just by their calls.
That was an important discovery. It showed how an elephant family depends on the experience
of the grandmother.
