  What will you be doing when you are 26 years old? Studying at university or working for a living? Take a look at what Albert Einstein was doing at the age of 26.
100 years ago, Einstein was working in Switzerland. His hobby was physics. Without much money or help, he wrote five papers(論文) for a physics magazine. Three of these greatly changed the study of physics and our understanding of space, time, light and matter(物質(zhì)). His most famous work is on the Theory of Relativity(相對論). Einstein was given the Nobel Prize for his discoveries. Although he also did many other things later, the years 1905 has been called Einstein’s “Year of Wonders”. It has been 100 years since then. Because of this, the UN has named 05 the World Year of Physics.
Today, over fifty years after Einstein’s death, a question is asked,  “ Will there ever be another Einstein?” It may take a long time. After all, Einstein was born more than 200 years after Sir Isaac Newton, another great scientist. Besides, physics is a different field now, and education is different, too. Even if you can’t be the next great scientist, it is still helpful to remember some of the things that made Einstein great. He thought independently(獨立地) and read widely. He left with us a formula(公式) for life: If A is a success in life, then A="X+Y+Z." X is work, Y is play, and Z is keeping your mouth shut.
【小題1】The year 1905 is known as Einstein’s “Year of Wonders” because           .

A．Einstein was working in Switzerland in 1905B．Einstein was 26 years old in 1905
C．Einstein made some very important discoveries in 1905D．Einstein studied physics in 1905
【小題2】Why hasn’t there been another scientist as great as Einstein?
A．Because the study of physics is not enough.
B．Because it is hard to make important discoveries as Einstein did.
C．Because people don’t work hard any more.
D．Because physics is getting more and more difficult.
【小題3】The UN has named 05 the World Year of Physics because           .
A．Einstein is 100 years old this year
B．Einstein has been dead for more than 50 years
C．there have been other great discoveries after Einstein’s death
D．it is the 100th year since Einstein’s “Year of Wonders”
【小題4】 What does Einstein’s formula for life mean?
A．Success means years of hard work.
B．Success means all study and no play.
C．Success means working hard, relaxing and not talking too much.
D．Success is a secret that nobody knows.

Alia Sabur, from Northport, N. Y., US, went to college at age 10. And four years later, Sabur became a bachelor of science in. Applied Mathematics summa cum laude（以最優(yōu)等成績）from Stony Brook University -- the youngest female in US history to do so.  Her education continued at Drexel University, where she earned a Master of Science and a Doctor of Philosophy (哲學博士) in Materials Science and Engineering.

With an unlimited future ahead of her, Sabur directed her first career choice to teaching. "I really enjoy teaching," she said. She was three days short of her 19th birthday in February, 2008, when she was hired to become a professor at Konkuk University in Seoul, Korea.  This distinction made her the youngest college professor in history, according to the Guinness' Book of Worm Records, beating the previous record held by Colin Maclaurin, a student of Isaac Newton, in 1717.

Although she doesn't start until next month, Sabur has taken up teaching math and physics courses at Southern University in New Orleans. Sabur is old enough to teach in the city, but not to join her fellow professors in a bar after work. In Korea, where the drinking age is 20, she might have more luck.  In traditional Korean culture, children are considered to be 1 year old-when they are born, and add a year to their age every New Year instead of their actual birthday, so in Korea Sabur is considered 20.

On top of her unprecedented (空前的) academic achievements, Sabur has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do (跆拳道黑帶). She is also a talented clarinet (豎笛) player who has performed with musicians like Lang Lang and Smash Mouth. So is there anything Sabur can't do?

1.We can learn from the passage that Sabur is ________.

A．America's youngest bachelor of science

B．Drexel University's youngest student

C．the world'syoungest college professor

D．the world's youngest female teacher

2.When Sabur was hired as a professor, her actual age is ________.

A．fourteen

B．eighteen

C．nineteen

D．twenty

3.What does the author mean by saying "she might have more luck" (in Paragraph 3)?

A．Sabur might be permitted to drink in a Korean bar.

B．Sabur would be allowed to attend parties in Korea.

C．Sabur is old enough to teach at Konkuk University.

D．Sabur is lucky to be hired by Konkuk University.

4.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A．Alia Sabur is the youngest female doctor from Stony Brook University.

B．Colin Maclaurin has once been the youngest college professor in the world.

C．In Korea, Alia Sabur is not allowed to drink for she is still underage.

D．Alia Sabur knows anything but Tae Kwon Do.

When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was badly crippled (跛腳), and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare, I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention. If ever noticed or bothered, he never let on.

It was difficult to walk together—and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”

Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and even in bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him.

When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help... Such times my sister or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., on a child’s sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there, he would try to grasp handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home. www.7caiedu.cn

When I think of it now, I am surprised at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to suffer from shame and disability. And I am also surprised at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.

He never talked about himself as an object of pity, not did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.

Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don’t have one myself.

He has been away for many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about my troubles, when I am envious of another’s good fortune, when I don’t have a “good heart”.

1.How did the man treat his father when he was young?

A．He helped his father happily.

B．He never helped his father.

C．He helped his father, but not very happily.

D．He only helped his father take a walk after supper.

2.As a disabled man, his father____.

A．didn’t work very hard

B．didn’t go to work from time to time

C．hated those who had good fortune

D．was happy and satisfied, and never lost hope

3.What does the underlined word “reluctance” mean in the article? It means ____.

A．a(chǎn)nger

B．sadness

C．happiness

D．unwillingness

4.How did the father get to work usually?

A．By subway.

B．By bus.

C．By wheelchair.

D．By bike
