阅读快车系列答案Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula(公式). It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists before us didn’t get everything from school .Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison did not even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school . They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all , they knew how to use their brain.
【小题1】 To work out a math problem, you need to know __________.

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(论文) for a physics magazine. Three of these greatly changed the study of physics and our understanding of space, time, light and matter(物质). His most famous work is on the Theory of Relativity(相对论). 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(独立地) 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.
1.The year 1905 is known as Einstein’s “Year of Wonders” because .
|
A．Einstein was working in Switzerland in 1905 |
B．Einstein was 26 years old in 1905 |
|
C．Einstein made some very important discoveries in 1905 |
D．Einstein studied physics in 1905 |
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. |
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” |
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. |
完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）
If you think you are sick, you are sick no matter what 41 says. 42 , if you believe in your doctor, and if he tells that you are going to feel better, you probably will. The 43 of the mind on the body does exist and sometimes can be powerful. It exists whether one is 44 of it or not.
Take the 45 of Mrs. Green, for example. She was unable to get to sleep at night and was too tired during the day to do some simple things that she 46 enjoy doing. She had headaches more often which 47 her from reading or watching TV. The more she thought about her conditions, 48 she felt. At last she went to 49 her doctor, whom she had known for years. The doctor listened to her and gave her a very 50 examination. Then he said to her, “ There is nothing 51 wrong with you physically, but I accept the fact 52 you don’t feel well. I’m going to give you some pills that should help. I want you to 53 one after dinner and one half an hour 54 you go to bed tonight. Call me tomorrow and tell me 55 you feel.
56 Mrs. Green telephoned, “Doctor, I had the first 57 night’s sleep in two months. What is in this pills 58 ?” The doctor said, “It is an old formula（配方） I have 59 for years. Just 60 taking them for a week.” Turning to the nurse, he said, “It’s wonderful what a little baking soda（苏打） can do.”
