AEinstein, a great scientist of the age, was almost as strange as his Theory of Relativity.Once, while riding a street car in Berlin, he told the conductor that he had not given him the right change. The conductor counted the change again and found it to be correct, so he handed it to Einstein, saying, “The trouble with you is that you don’t know your figures.”Einstein said that there were only twelve people living who understood his Theory of Relativity although a good many books had been written to explain it.He had nothing but contempt（藐视）for the things most people set their hearts on—for fame and riches（财富）and luxury（奢华）.He didn’t want money or praise.

The space now for one car of the usual size can hold at least three such little cars.The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer, too, as these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour.The cars of the future will be fine for going around the city, but they will not be useful for going far away. If the car is powered by electricity, it will have two batteries—one battery for the motor and the other for the horn (喇叭), signals (信号灯), etc. Little cars which are powered by gas will go 45 kilometers before needing to stop for more gas.If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed to set up in the future.

The quality（质量） of some American papers is quite high and their views are used all over the world. Excellent newspapers like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence（影响) all over the country. However, the Washington Post and the New York Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain of Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these give detailed（详细的）accounts of national and international news，Like the press（报刊） in most other countries，American newspapers report news from the “exciting” and “relaxing” to the serious. They try to entertain people as well as give information，for they have to compete with the attraction of television. Just as American newspapers try to satisfy all tastes, they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few news papers support extremist（极端主义者）groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers try their best to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are mainly moderate（温和的). Many of these papers print materials by well-known journalists of different political and social views，As in other countries American newspapers can be either responsible（负责任的）or irresponsible，but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once exposed political scandals（丑闻），for example，the Watergate Affair（水门事件）12.Which newspaper in the U.
