Dear Doctor，

　　My husband and I got married in 1995 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children．Then four years ago，our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work．

　　My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision．He emphasized all of the things l can do around the house，and said he thought I could be a great success in business．

　　After several weeks of job-hunting，l found my present job，which is working for a small public relations firm．At first，my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends，“My clever little wife can run that company she's working for．”

　　But as his joking remark was close to reality，my husband stopped talking to me about my job．I have received several promotions and pay increases，and I am now making more money than he is．I can buy my own clothes and a new car．Because of our combined incomes，my husband and I can do many things that we had always dreamed of doing，but we don't do these things because he is very unhappy．

　　We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends．For the first time in our marriage，l think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end．

　　I hove my husband very much，and I do not want him to feel inferior，but I also love my job．I think I can be a good wife and a working woman，but I don't know how．Can you give me some advice？Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career？

　　Please help．

From the grave, Albert Einstein poured gasoline on the culture wars between science and religion this week. A letter the physicist wrote in 1954 to the philosopher Eric Gutkind, in which he scoffed at the idea that the Jews could be a “chosen people,” sold for $404,000 at an auction(拍卖) in London, which is only a little less than the $442,500 paid for the entire collection of 53 love letters between Einstein and his first wife, Mileva Maric in New York in 1996. At that same auction a paper by Einstein and his best friend, Michele Besso, a calculation that would later be a determining piece of his achievement, the General Theory of Relativity, went for $398,500.

Diana L. Kormos-Buchwald, head of the Einstein Papers project, said “It is an important expression of Einstein’s thoughts and views on religion, on his views about God and religious texts.” She said the letter, which was not written for publication, was more straightforward than the metaphors he usually turned to in public.

Einstein lost his religion at the age of 12, concluding that it was all a lie, and he never looked back. But he never lost his religious feeling about the order of the universe. Trying to distinguish between a personal God and a more cosmic force. The problem of God, he said, “is too vast for our limited minds.” In the letter, he wrote “the word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses.” As for his fellow Jews, he said that Judaism, like all other religions, was “just the most childish superstitions(迷信).” He claimed a deep connection with the Jewish people, he said, but “as far as my experience goes they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power.”

1. What did the first sentence in the first paragraph may mean?

A. The grave of Albert Einstein was polluted by some gasoline.

B. Albert Einstein wrote a letter from the grave where he was.

C. Albert Einstein’s letter cause argument between science and religion.

D. There was a great discussion between science and religion near the grave.

2. The scoff in the first paragraph may mean?

A. laugh at　 B. agree with　　 C. satisfied with　　 D. think highly of
