Leaving your mark in the world
Einstein is a world-famous scientist. In 1899, he studied at a famous university in Zurich (苏黎世). His teacher was rofessor Minkevsky.
Once Einstein asked Minkevsky, “How can a person, like me, leave his clear footprints on the road ofs1. and make a great contribution?” Minkevsky said that it was a “complicated”(复杂的) problem and he had to give him an a2. later.
Three days later, Minkevsky told Einstein that the answer was coming! B3. he didn’t say anything. They walked toward a building site. He asked Einstein to set foot on a concrete (混凝土) road that the workers had just f4..
All the workers shouted at him. Einstein was very confused(困惑的). “Sir, are you leading me the w5. way?” he asked.
“Think a6.it,” Minkevsky said. “Can’t you see? Only the new concrete road surface can l7. deep footprints. The old road surface has been hard for a long time. Many people leave steps on the old road. You cannot find your footprint there.” Hearing that, Einstein thought for a long time and nodded.
After that, a very strong sense of innovation(创新) b8. to guide Einstein’s thinking and action. He tried again and again to discover new theories(理论). Nobody could tell him what to do. N9. book could guide him. But he said, “I never remember what dictionaries carry.
