Albert Einstein
In the year 1905, Albert Einstein published some important papers in a German scientific magazine ．
They included one of the most important scientific documents in history．It was filled with mathematics ．It explained what came to be called his“Special Theory of Relativity．’’Ten years later he expanded it to“ General Theory of Relativity．’’Albert Einstein ’s theories of relativity are about the basic ideas we use to describe natural happenings．
They are about time，space，mass，movement，and gravity．
Albert Einstein was born in Ulm， Germany， in l879 ． His father owned a factory that made electrical devices．His mother enjoyed music and books．His parents were Jewish but they
didn ’t observe many of the religion’s rules．
Albert was a quiet child who spent much of his time alone．He was slow to talk and had difficulty learning to read ．WhenAlbert was five years old ，his father gave him a compass．The child was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in
the same direction—to the north ． He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move ．
Their answers about magnetism and gravity were difficult for the boy to understand ． Yet he spent a lot of time thinking about them．He said later that he felt something hidden
had to be behind things．
Albert did not like school．Students could not ask questions．Albert said he felt as
if he were in prison．
One story says Albert told his uncle Jacob how much he hated school，especially mathematics ． His uncle told him to solve mathematical problems by pretending to be a
policeman ．“ You are looking for someone”，he said，“ but you do not know who． Call him X．Find him by using the mathematical tools of algebra and geometry．’’

Oxford University is the oldest university in Britain and one of the world ’s most famous institutions． Oxford University，which is in Oxford ， England ， about 50 miles(80 kilometers)northwest of London， started to develop during the 1100s and the university has over l6,300 students(1999—2000)，with 38 colleges plus 7 private halls established by
various religious groups．Three of the 7 private halls are for men only．Of the colleges，St ．Hilda ’ s and Somerville are for women，and the rest are for men and women．At Oxford，each college is a corporate body and is governed by its own head and
fellows．Most fellows are college instructors called tutors，and the rest are university professors and lecturers．Each college manages its own buildings and property，elects its
own fellows， and selects and admits its own undergraduate students ． The university provides some libraries， laboratories， and other facilities， but the colleges take primary responsibility for the teaching．
Each student at Oxford is assigned to a tutor， who supervises the student’s course of study ， primarily through tutorials． Tutorials are weekly meetings of one or two students with their tutor． Students may see other tutors for specialized instruction． They may also attend lectures given by university teachers． Students choose which lectures to attend on
the basis of their own special interests and on the advice of their tutors．During the1100s ，a university gradually developed from a number of schools in the city of Oxford ． The university received its first official recognition in1214． The three oldest Oxford colleges— University,Balliol，and Merton —date from the1200s．Twelve more colleges were founded between 1300 and 1555．The first colleges for women were established during
the late 1800s．The university did not grant degrees to women until 1920．

A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away．That’s the finding of
a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower
among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt-water fish per day compared to those
who never ate fish．
The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support
to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits， particularly to the heart．
Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States，with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year． But previous research has shown that the
level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do． There are fewer heart disease deaths， for example， among the Eskimos of Greenland， who consume about14 ounces of fish a day， and among the Japanese ， whose daily fish cons umption averages more than 3 ounces．
For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no
fish ． At the start of the study ， average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day ， with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish．
During the next two decades， 78 of the men died from heart disease． The fewest deaths were among the
group who regularly ate fish， even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or
Eskimos ． This relationship was tru e regardless of other factors such as age，high blood pressure ， or blood cholesterol(胆固醇 )levels．
28．In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage?
A ． Ads．B．Movies．C．Briefs．D．Health and Diet．
29．The passage is mainly about__________．
A ． the high incidence of heart disease in some countries
B ．the changes in people’s diet
C．the effect of fish eating on people’s health
D．the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures
30 ． The phrase“this relationship”in Paragraph 5 refers to the connection between__________ and the level
of heart disease．
A ． the amount of fish eaten B．regular fish-eating
C．the kind of fish eaten D．people of different areas
31．From the passage we know the author is most probably__________．
A ． a heart doctor B．a science researcher
C．a supporter of healthy eating D．a university student
D
Parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did．This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize，but the smartphone．
At parties，more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks．According to
a recent International Data Corporation study，well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up， keeping it in hand all day ． In addition，too much of society is using smartphones while driving and as a result getting into car
crashes ．34 percent o f teen s admit to text while driving，and they confirm that text messaging is their number-one driving interruption．People’s attachment to their smart phones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others．Just as driver s dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road ， many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction．Whenwith their friends，some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend， which sends a message to that friend： the person I am texting is more important than you． In addition，relying on our smartphone to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world． Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run．
As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text
or mindlessly check their massages，smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people ．The quality of this technology is de—advancing societal achievements and weakening the value
of communication．Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact(交流 )face-to-face，but it is also lowering society’s ability to communicate．
32．The purpose of this text is to__________．
A ． call for an end to use the smartphone while driving
B ． appeal to us to pay attention to communicatio n skills
C． express concern about the overuse of the smartphone
D． advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphone
33．The second paragraph is developed by__________．
A ． giving examples B．1isting figures
C．comparing facts D．analyzing the effects
34．The author advocates us to make new friends__________．
A ． by using smartphones B．in a face-to-face way
C．in different ways D．under a free circumstance
35．Over dependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that__________．
A． parties and gatherings limit their social circle
B． people are more and more narrow-minded
C．people ’s communication skills are weakened
D． face-to-face communication becomes less important
