【题目】 Einstein has to speak at an important science meeting. On the way there, he tells his driver that looks a bit like him, "I’m sick of all these meetings. I always say the same things over and over!"

The driver agrees, "You’re right. As your driver, I attend all of them, and even though I don't know anything about science, I could give the speech in your place."

"That’s a great idea!"says Einstein. "Let’s exchange our places then!"

So they exchange clothes. As soon as they arrive, the driver dressed as Einstein goes on stage and starts giving the usual speech, while the real Einstein, dressed as the car driver, attends it.

But in the crowd, there is one scientist who wants to show off and thinks of a very difficult question to ask Einstein, hoping he won’t be able to answer. So this guy stands up and cuts in the speech by raising his very difficult question. The whole room goes silent, holding their breath, waiting for the answer.

The driver looks at him, dead in the eye, and says, "Sir, your question is so easy that I’m going to let my driver answer it for me."

【题目】Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)

Mr Harries taught sixth-grade science. On the first day of his class, he gave us a talk about an animal called "birdcat", which died out during the Ice Age. He passed around a skull(头骨)as he talked. We all took notes carefully and later we had a test.

When he returned my paper the next day, there was a big red "×" through each of my answers. I had failed! I had written exactly(确切地)what Mr Harries said. Then I learned that everyone in the class had failed. What had happened? Very simple, Mr Harries said he had made all that "birdcat" there had never been any such animal. So the information in our notes was incorrect. Did you think you would get good marks for incorrect answers?

We felt that wasn't fair. What kind of test was this? And what kind of teacher?

We should have found it out, Mr Harries said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the "birdcat" skull, in fact a cat's. He had told us many unbelievable things about the animal, such as the size, the colour, the strength… but none of us had questioned.

Mr Harries said he hoped we could learn something from this lesson. Teachers and textbooks are not always correct. In fact no one is. He told us not to let our minds go to sleep, and to speak up if we ever thought he or the textbook was wrong.

Up to now I haven't made any great scientific discoveries, but Mr Harries's class gave my classmates and me something just as important: to look people in the eye and tell them they are wrong.

1Who taught sixth-grade science?

________________________________________________________________

2What did the writer and his classmates do during the first science lesson?

They carefully watched the skull and ________________ and then had a test.

3Did they get good marks or fail the test?

_______________________________________________________________________

4How did they feel about the test?

__________________________________________________________________________

5Why did the writer fail in the science test?

Because the information in his notes ________________________________________.

6How do you like the science teacher?

_________________________________________________________________________
