Do you know Jeff Gaye? Here is a story about him.

Jeff Gaye, the young American swimmer, is becoming more and more famous. He has his own teacher, driver and even his own cook. Each time people hear him speak on television, they can't believe he's only 13. Jeff's father is an engineer but he is also his son's manager. He says, “I don't make Jeff do anything he doesn't want to do. He chooses which competition to swim in. But he works hard and wins nearly every race. I cut out all the newspaper articles about him and put them in a big box!”

Jeff is very busy every day because people want to write about him or photograph (给……拍照) him for magazines. “When I'm at school,” Jeff says, “I just want to be like my classmates, and that's really important to me.” But Jeff doesn't have a normal schoolboy's life. He often has to travel for international races and has little free time. “I go to the pool every day and swim there for at least six hours. When I'm in the pool, I love every minute.”

How much do you know about Albert Einstein?

Albert Einstein, born on March 14, 1879 in Germany, was a great scientist in the world. He was strange because he hated haircuts and new clothes. He believed in peace. All his life, he hated war. However, his most famous idea, E = mc², helped create the world’s most dangerous weapon (武器). Many people think he was the smartest person in the world. But Einstein said that he thought like a child with many questions and unusual ideas.

Why is the sky blue?

In 1910, Einstein asked a question which many children often ask, “Why is the sky blue?” After his careful research, he answered the question like this: “It’s because light is made up of many colors including blue.
