Albert Einstein has a great effect on science and history.An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook—a new view of the universe.It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on，but even ordinary men now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 young Einstein had been world­famous.He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin.He had few duties，little teaching and unlimited chances for study，but soon his peace and quiet life were broken by World War I.Einstein hated fighting and killing.The great suffering of the war affected him deeply，and he sat unhappily in his office doing little.He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work. In the years following World War I，honours were increasingly put on him. He became head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics.But he himself refused the effort to put him in a position far above other people.He was well known for his humble (谦逊的) manners.He often said that his success would certainly have been achieved by others if he had never lived.In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize，and he was honoured in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.1．The main idea of the first paragraph is________.A．the difficulty of Einstein's thought to othersB．the feeling of an American university president towards EinsteinC．the difference between science and historyD．the change in human thought produced by Einstein2．Which of the following statements about Einstein is TRUE?A．He achieved more than other scientists in history.B．Our ideas about the universe differ from one another because of him.C．He kept working until peace came in 1918.D．His research practically stopped during World War I.3．In the years following World War I，________.A．Einstein's theory was soon accepted even by ordinary peopleB．more and more honours went to EinsteinC．Einstein almost had no chances for his researchD．Einstein was not honoured in Germany until the rise of NazismBMalls are popular places for Americans to go. Some people spend so much time at malls that they are called mall rats. Mall rats shop until they drop in the hundreds of stores under one roof.People like malls for many reasons. They feel safe because malls have police stations or private security(安全) guards. Parking is usually free, and the weather inside is always fine. The newest malls have beautiful rest area with waterfalls and large green trees.The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America in Minnesota. It covers 4.2 million square feet. It has 350 stores, eight night clubs, and a seven-acre(公顷) park! There are parking spaces for 12, 750 cars. About 750, 000 people shop every week.The first indoor mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Edina, Minnesota. People loved doing all their shopping in one place. More malls were built all over the country. Now, malls are like town centers where people come to do many things. They shop, of course. They also eat in food houses that have food from all over the world. They see movies at theatres. Some people even get their daily exercise by doing the new sport of mall walking. Others go to malls to meet friends.In some malls, people can see a doctor or a dentist(牙医) and even attend church. In other words, people can do just about everything in malls.
