Physics is a different world now. Will there ever be another Einstein?
Scientists say a new Einstein will appear, but it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival (对手) , Isaac Newton.
Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn't been born yet, or is only a baby now. That’s because the searching for a unified (统一的) theory that would explain all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New math must be created before the problem can be solved.
But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein appearing anytime soon.
For one thing, physics is quite a different field today. In Einstein's day, there were a few thousand physicists worldwide, and fewer theoreticians.
Education is different, too. One extremely important aspect of Einstein's training that failed to be considered is the philosophy he read as a teenager. It taught him how to think theoretically about space and time.
And he was a skilled musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would fiercely play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem. Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren’t many jobs in scienc e for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical and rewarding efforts.
Besides, those who sta y in science don’t work alone. It’s very difficult to imagine an independent perso n like Einstein ever tolerating this.
1. Which of the following best explain s why the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet?
A. Education today doesn’t pay enough attention to philosophy teaching.
B. It isn’t known who will be another Einstein among newly-born babies.
C. There were more physicists in Einstein's time than today.
D. Math today is limited and cannot help the further development of physics.
2. One of the reasons that made Einstein a great scientist is ______.
A. the lack of physicists in his day
B. learning from Isaac Newton
C. the philosophy he read in his teens
D. not going to work at Wall Street
3. The underlined word “knotty” here probably means ______.
A. difficult and puzzling
B. interesting and useful
C. important and meaningful
D. realistic and hard
B
About H1N1
2009 H1N1 viruses are not spread by food. You cannot get infected with H1N1 virus from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork products is safe.
Spread of H1N1 virus is thought to occur in the same way that seasonal flu does, viruses are transmitted mainly through droplets(小滴)from coughing or sneezing of an infected person. Keeping a safe distance is recommended. Studies have also shown that flu virus can survive on object surfaces for 2 to 8 hour s. Sometimes viruses can be spread when a person touches something like the surface of a desk that is polluted with droplets, and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth before washing their hands.
The symptoms of H1N1 flu virus in people include fever, cough, sore throat, run ny or stuffy nose and body aches. Severe illnesses and death have occurred as a result of illness associated with this virus. Protect-Yourself Tips
1. CDC recommends a yearly seasonal flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against seasonal influenza.
2. If you get seasonal or novel H1N1 flu, anti-viral drugs can treat the flu.
3. For treatment, anti-viral drugs work best if started within the first 2 days of symptoms.
4. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
5. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze.
6. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
7. Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
8. If you are sick with flu-like illness, CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities.
9. Follow public health advice, and avoid crowds.
10.Be prepared in case you get sick and need to stay home for a week or so; a supply of OTC medicines, tissues and other related items might be useful and help avoid the need to make trips out in public.
To stay well during flu season, click 2009 H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu) and You for other helpful advice and information.

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外部的，表面的)result or a product that can easily be identified and measured．The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts．
By contrast , the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts(路标) or landmarks along the way．The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have , and th eir caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpe cted difficulti es．In this process, the journey never really ends；there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept．
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first．How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow．Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences．Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to adapt change or t hat we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge．Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all．These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow．If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside
a shell of our own making．
8. In the author’s eye, one who views personal growth as a process would ______．
A. succeed in climbing up the social ladder
B. grow up from his own achievements
C.aim high and reach his goal each time
D. face diffic ulties and take up challenges
9. For personal growth, the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT ______．
A. being curious about more changes
B. staying away from failures and challenges
C. being quick in self-adaptation
D. having an open mind to new experiences
10. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. If you are too shy to take any risks in life, you cannot grow up．
B. It is not so difficult to measure personal growth．
C. To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is avoidable．
D. There are only two ways to see a person’s growth．
11.The best title for this passage should be ______．
A. Facing New Challenges
B. Overcoming Internal Fears
C. Two Basic Ways of Growth
D. Growth—Product or Process
D
Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self- respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.
Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky(暗中的) excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate(证明) that we cannot lie trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
12. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our_______.
A. friendly relationship
B. financial rewards
C. advertising ability
D. self-respect
13. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to_______.
A. lying
B. cheating
C. stealing
D. advertising
14. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?
A. We'll be very excited.
B. We'll feel unfortunate.
C. We'll feel sorry for the clerk.
D. We'll have a sense of
honor.
15. This passage mainly talks about_______.
A. happiness through honorable actions
B. how to live
truthfully
C. importance of peacefulness
D. ways of gaining self-respect

The group that tolerated (忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. 19 .

书面表达：
Nowadays，many middle school students are addicted to electronic games. They take delight in playing games on Internet. People from all walks of life are concerned about this social phenomenon.
The reasons are obvious. First, some students think it is a modern means of communication. Second, they can get whatever they need on Internet. Third, people are under great pressure and playing games online is a good way for them to relax. It’s high time we took measures to deal with the problem.
In my opinion, students should play these games properly, otherwise it would be extremely harmful to them. Only by using the Internet wisely and properly can they experience real happiness and health.
