Albert Einstein(1879—1955)
Early Life
Albert Einstein was born on 14th March, 1879 in Germany. He often talked to himself when he was young. He was curious(好奇的) and imaginative. He loved watching things carefully and asked a lot of questions about them. His questions were often too hard for teachers to answer.
Schooling
Einstein started school in 1885. Though he did well in Maths and Science, he was not that good at learning languages. He didn't enjoy going to school. Einstein finished high school in Switzerland and entered a university in Zurich. He graduated in 1900 and later became a teacher of Maths and Physics.
Scientific Work
After graduation, Einstein worked at the Patent Office. He spent much time studying Physics. By 1909, Einstein had become a top scientist. Though he became successful in the field of science, he still put great effort into scientific research. Finally, he won the Nobel prize in Physics in 1921.
Later Life
Einstein kept at his research until he died in 1955. Scientists studied his brain(脑) after his death to see if there was anything special about it. However, no definite conclusion(肯定的结论) was reached. Today, many famous scientists still think Einstein is the greatest genius(天才) in the world.

五 阅读短文，完成下列任务。(10分)
Li Bai, one of the most famous poets in Chinese history, lived during the Tang Dynasty. He was born in 701 AD and spent his life writing beautiful poems.
Li Bai loved travelling. He visited many mountains, rivers and ancient(古老的) cities across China. Wherever he went, he wrote poems about what he saw and felt. For example, when he saw the waterfall(瀑布) in Lushan Mountain, he wrote, “Its torrent dashes down three thousand feet from high, As if the Silver River fell from azure sky.” His poems are often about natural beauty, sincere(诚挚的) friendship and his dreams about life.
