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”．
Later Einstein went to America and never left there．His life ended at the age of 76．

We have just returned from our holiday．We went with our friends Edward Smith and his wife Tina to the Yorkshire Moors．This is a beautiful place．It is a natural park．There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills, miles of grassland with no people, just sheep and birds．
Edward, who had just come out of hospital, could not walk as far as be used to．However this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then stopped at a cafe for lunch each day, before returning to the place we live．Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for another walk．Very pleasant!
I have taken lots of photos from the place we live, across the valley(峡谷)below us, of the morning sunrise, and the mist in the valley．Also, in England, the old steam powered trains(蒸汽火车)are very popular．I have taken many photos of the train and from it．
Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter．It is very early(we usually expect snow in January)．It rained all day, then snowed in the evening．Today we have bright sunshine!
Both Jenny and I are well I don’t know if I told you, in the last e-mail, that Jenny is now working in a hotel．Although she has to work hard, people there are nice and she is enjoying the work．
Please write to us to tell us your news．
Yours,
Victor

One morning in April, Jim Reed checked his e-mail．It was from a woman in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania．He had talked to her on e-mail many times in the last ten days．All the other messages were fun and interesting to read．This message was different．

A hobby can be almost anything a person likes to do in his free time．Hobbyists keep pets, build model shops, watch birds, hunt animals, climb mountains, grow flowers, fish, ski, skate, and swim．Hobbyists also paint pictures, attend concerts and plays and perform on musical instruments．They collect everything from books to butterflies, and from shells to stamps．
People have hobbies because these activities offer enjoyment, friendship, knowledge, and relaxation．Sometimes they even make some money by following a hobby．Hobbies help people relax after hard work, and provide a balance between work and play．Hobbies also offer interesting activities for persons who have retired(退休)．Anyone, rich or poor, old or young, sick or well, can follow an interesting hobby．
Hobbies can help a person’s mental and physical health．Doctors have found that hobbies are valuable in helping patients recover from physical or mental illness．Hobbies give patients something to do, and provide interests that keep them from thinking about themselves．Many hospitals treat patients by having them have interesting hobbies or pastimes．
In early times, most people were too busy making a living to have many hobbies．But some persons who were free did enjoy hobbies．The old Egyptians played games with balls made of wood or pottery．
People today have more time than ever before for hobbies．Machines have reduced(减少)the amount of time they must spend on their jobs．More people are retiring than ever before, and at an earlier age．Those who have developed hobbies never need to worry about what to do with their newly-found free hours．
Sir William Osler, a famous Canadian doctor, expressed the value of hobbies by saying, “No man is really happy or safe without a hobby．”

There are many online(网上)food shopping sites．This is very surprising．Things like CDs, books, and DVDs sell well online．But it is quite different to sell food online because people like to see food with their own eyes．It is very important for people to buy fresh fruit and vegetables．Customers like to choose their food by its color．They also want to touch and smell it．But some people like to go to the same shop to buy food, because they think the food there has a very good quality(质量)．So if the food is always good, they may also feel comfortable buying it online．
Boxes of fruits and vegetables have been delivered to homes around Britain for a few years now．Dried or canned(罐装的)foods are almost always the same, but things like apples are not．People may want to choose their own apples so they can take the ones that aren't bruised(碰伤)or the ones that look nice．Buying dried and canned food online is easier．A person can buy this kind of food on the Internet and then buy fruits and vegetables at a store or a market．
Now people can also buy food through supermarket websites(网站)．There people can find most of the things that supermarkets usually sell．Other food websites sell different types of food．Some sell food from one part of the world such as Asia．Others sell food that is hard to find in supermarkets．There are also websites that sell sweet foods such as cakes and candies．
The food is usually delivered by the next day or even on the same day．People still need to be careful, though．They must check to see if the food is fresh when they get it．It is a good idea for people to find out how far away the food is being delivered from．It is also a problem if the company does not use refrigeration(冷藏)when they deliver food that should be kept cold．If traveling long distances in the summer to deliver the goods, this is important．
