  Einstein was a great scientist(科学家) in the world. Once he travelled to many places in America to give a lecture(演讲) by car. And soon he made friends with his driver.

  Einstein gave the same lecture again and again, and the driver could remember all his lecture. So one day the driver told Einstein that he wanted to give it instead of him and Einstein agreed with him.

  That evening, they went along to the lecture room. The driver took his place, everyone applauded(鼓掌) because nobody there had seen Einstein before. Then he began the lecture. He put his heart into it and gave a good lecture. When it was over the people warmly applauded. The driver turned to look at Einstein. There was a smile on his face. He could see that the great scientist was quite pleased.

  When they were going, a man stopped them and asked the driver a very difficult question. The driver listened carefully, but he did not understand it at all. He smiled and said, “To show how easy it is, I'll ask my driver to answer it.”

  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 for a physics magazine.Three of these greatly change the study of physics and our understanding of space, time, light and matter.His most famous work is on the Theory of Relativity.Einstein was given the Nobel Prize for his discoveries.Although he also did many other things later, the year 1905 was called Einstein’s “Year of Wonder”.It has been 100 years since then.Because of this, the UN has named 2005 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 and read widely.He left with us a formula 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.

  Careful and careless are as different as fire and water. But it is strange that quite a few scientists have both these qualities (品质). They are both careful and careless. Newton, the famous English scientist, was such a person.

  Once Newton invited a friend to dinner at home. When they were ready to eat, Newton left to get a bottle of wine. But after his friend had waited for a long time, Newton still didn't come back. At last his friend found Newton was in the lab. When Newton was going to get the bottle of wine, he suddenly had a new idea for his experiment (实验) . So he forgot his friend and the dinner. Another time, Newton was leading a horse up a mountain, and held the rein (缰绳) in his hand. While he was walking, he kept thinking about problems. When he got to the top of the mountain, he found the rein was not in his hand and that the horse was missing.

  Einstein was another example. Once he was waiting for a friend at a bridge. While waiting, he became lost in thought. It started to rain. The rain kept on for some time. When he took out a piece of paper to write something down, the paper was wet and then he knew that it was raining. But after he put the paper into his pocket, he again forgot he was standing in the rain.

[  ]
