And 34 hard work he explained many of the 35 and events in nature which were 36 to be "not understandable" in his day. He was also never afraid to 37 mistakes when facts proved 38 theories wrong.
Secondly, Einstein's 39 showed the great importance of theories to scientific efforts. 40 he himself seldom worked in labs, the ideas he developed 41 to many of the scientific advances which had shaped modern technology.
Thirdly, Einstein believed that scientists must have morals（道德）.
42 , he gave a new inspiration to many of scientists who became 43
in the Communist movement.
Einstein was often considered 44 many writings as a "genius（天才）", whose theories were 45 difficult that no one but few scientists could understand them. But he himself refused the efforts to put him in a

A
You can't see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things give off light. Most of the things you see are not giving off the light of their own. They are simply things that give back light that falls on them from the sun or some other body that gives off light. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. You can see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects(反射) in our direction. So moon light is only secondhand sunlight.
When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes open.
Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380,000 kilometres away, in only a little more than a second.

A.your eyes are near to it B.it gives back some of the light
C.it has light of its own D.your eyesight can reach it

A.The sun and the moon have light of their own.
B.The stars and the earth have light of their own.

A.All the things we can see give off light.
B.Light from the book is as bright as that from the moon.
C.Light travels so fast that there is no time for us to read.
D.The moment we open our eyes the light from the book travels to our
eyes.

B
The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and slightly wet, and the street lamps gave little light.
Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the pavement(人行道）.When he reached the middle of the bridge he thought he could hear someone coming near behind him. He looked back but could see no one. How ever, the sound continued and Frank began to walk more quickly. Then he slowed down again, feeling shame at having acted so foolishly. There was nothing to fear in a town as quiet as this.
Just then, he heard short, quick steps closely behind him. By the time he reached the other side of the bridge, he could almost feel someone at his heels(紧跟在后）. He turned round and there stood a man in a large overcoat. A hat pulled down over his eyes and very little of his face could be seen. Frank said something about the weather, trying to sound friendly and calm. The man did not answer but asked rudely where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.
Then Frank wondered why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at such an hour.
He knew that the people who lived there were very rich. Almost without rrealizing what he was doing, he began following the stranger quickly. The man was soon outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the windows. A light was still on and the man waited until it went out. When about half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him drop on the ground at the other side.
Now Frank realized what was going to happen. He walked quickly and silently across the street toward a telephone box at the corner.

Some people are pessimistic(悲观的）when they think about the future. They say that， a hundred years from now, we will have used most of the earth's resources(资源）. We will have made our seas so dirty that we will not be able to eat fish from them. There will be so many people in the world that we will have to use all the countryside for housing. There will be no farm land left.
Other people have a different idea about the future. In their opinion, the city of the future will be a huge pyramid-shaped(金字塔形） building, which will be floating on the surface of the sea. Many families will live there, and there will also be schools, shops in it.
In a hundred years's time, people will not need to use oil. They will heat their homes with the heat from the sun.
Think of space. Perhaps a station will be set up on the moon. People will be able to visit the moon as visitors. They may even spend their holidays in space, travelling from planet to planet.
What an interesting picture!
Many people don't think about the future. "I don't care! I'll be dead," they say. But it is our duty to care because the world of a hundred years' time will be the world of our children's children and their children after them.
