　　　　     Albert found lessons very difficult. His teacher would tap her pointer (教鞭) against the blackboard impatiently (不耐烦) while she waited 1 him to answer her questions. But Albert always had to think about many things before he 2 answer. After all, he would say to himself, there are 3 different things 4 about before you can say anything that is absolutely certain.

　　     When his teacher wasn't asking Albert a question, Albert would 5 a question to ask her. And often when he did, she would get red 6 the face and angry at Albert 7 thinking up questions she couldn't answer.

　　     The more Albert learned, 8 he found to think about. The more he thought about, 9 questions he thought of 10 .

　　     He knew that the earth, other planets, the moon and the sun are just a part of 11 we call the universe. He knew that the universe is also 12 all the stars we can see 13 our eyes and millions and millions more that we can see only 14 the largest telescopes and still more—we think—that 15 far away they can't be seen 16 . And he also knew 17 all these stars and our own bodies and everything 18 are made up of atoms (原子) so tiny they can't be seen even with the best microscope.

　　     He thought there must 19 some rules to 20 why everything in the universe, big and little, acts as it does. Why don't the stars 21 around in the sky bump (撞) into each other? 22 makes the tiny atoms stick together to form all the different things there are? Albert Einstein thought and thought 23 he believed he had some of the answers. And people started asking 24 questions because he had 25 for many things that scientists had been trying to figure out for many, many years.
