Einstein was born in 1879 in Germany. As a child he was slow to talk. But when he was 14 years old,

he became clever. He taught himself maths from text books. He studied hard because he wanted to be a

physicist (物理学家).

In 1901, Einstein began teaching. In 1902, he went on with his study at the University of Zurich.

Several years later, he put forward (提出)his Theory of Relativity(相对论).

To most people the Theory of Relativity is hard 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 fire for a minute, you think it's two hours. That's relativity".

3. （8分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。

English class is always full of fun. It's a tradition to put on an English play at the end of the

year. Yesterday our English teacher gave us copies of the play.

"Choose a character in the play whom you'd like to be," she told us. "This afternoon you will learn

a few lines (台词) of this part for homework. Then tomorrow you can say those lines in front of the

class.

I'll decide who plays each part."

I wanted to have one of the biggest parts in the play, so I chose the part of the king. He has a

lot of lines to say. I learnt them by heart.

This morning in our English class we had to say our lines. I acted the part of the king. When l was

saying my lines, I put a lot of expressions into my acting. I thought I acted really well.

Many of the students in my class couldn't act at all. They couldn't even read without making lots

of mistakes. I was sure that l would get a big part in the play.

However, the teacher gave me the part of a soldier. He has only one line. It is, "Yes, sir!"

I was very disappointed. At the end of the lesson I went up to her and asked her why I had such a

small part.

"You put too many expressions in your acting," she said. "Good acting is not big acting. It is

acting

the audience can believe in." I think I know what she means.

（1） How did the writer feel when the teacher told the class they would put on a play?

A . Bored.

B . Sad.

C . Excited
