Physics is a different world now. Will there ever be another Einstein?

Scientists say a new Einstein will appear, but it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival (对手) , Isaac Newton.

Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn't been born yet, or is only a baby now. That’s because the searching for a unified (统一的) theory that would explain all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New math must be created before the problem can be solved.

But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein appearing anytime soon.

For one thing, physics is quite a different field today. In Einstein's day, there were a few thousand physicists worldwide, and fewer theoreticians.

Education is different, too. One extremely important aspect of Einstein's training that failed to be considered is the philosophy he read as a teenager. It taught him how to think theoretically about space and time.

And he was a skilled musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would fiercely play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem. Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren’t many jobs in scienc e for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical and rewarding efforts.

Besides, those who sta y in science don’t work alone. It’s very difficult to imagine an independent perso n like Einstein ever tolerating this.

1. Which of the following best explain s why the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet?

A. Education today doesn’t pay enough attention to philosophy teaching.

B. It isn’t known who will be another Einstein among newly-born babies.

C. There were more physicists in Einstein's time than today.

D. Math today is limited and cannot help the further development of physics.

2. One of the reasons that made Einstein a great scientist is ______.

A. the lack of physicists in his day

B. learning from Isaac Newton

C. the philosophy he read in his teens

D. not going to work at Wall Street

3. The underlined word “knotty” here probably means ______.

A. difficult and puzzling

B. interesting and useful

C. important and meaningful

D. realistic and hard

B

About H1N1

2009 H1N1 viruses are not spread by food. You cannot get infected with H1N1 virus from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork products is safe.

Spread of H1N1 virus is thought to occur in the same way that seasonal flu does, viruses are transmitted mainly through droplets(小滴)from coughing or sneezing of an infected person. Keeping a safe distance is recommended. Studies have also shown that flu virus can survive on object surfaces for 2 to 8 hour s. Sometimes viruses can be spread when a person touches something like the surface of a desk that is polluted with droplets, and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth before washing their hands.

The symptoms of H1N1 flu virus in people include fever, cough, sore throat, run ny or stuffy nose and body aches. Severe illnesses and death have occurred as a result of illness associated with this virus. Protect-Yourself Tips

1. CDC recommends a yearly seasonal flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against seasonal influenza.

2. If you get seasonal or novel H1N1 flu, anti­viral drugs can treat the flu.

3. For treatment, anti­viral drugs work best if started within the first 2 days of symptoms.

4. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.

5. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze.

6. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.

7. Try to avoid close contact with sick people.

8. If you are sick with flu­like illness, CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities.

9. Follow public health advice, and avoid crowds.

10.Be prepared in case you get sick and need to stay home for a week or so; a supply of OTC medicines, tissues and other related items might be useful and help avoid the need to make trips out in public.

C. droplets of an infected person definitely get people infected.

D. pork is not a medium of spreading and we can eat it however it is prepared.

5. What should you do if you get H1N1 flu according to the passage?
