    Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, and his achievement was even greater than a few other great scientists have achieved. An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may he some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on—but even ordinary man now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.

    By 1914 young Einstein had been world-famous. 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 were broken by World War I.

    Einstein hated fighting and killing. The great suffering of 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 year following World War I honors 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 manner. 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 honored in Germany till 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 others

        B. the feeling of an American university president towards Einstein

        C. the difference between science and history

        D. the change in human thought produced by Einstein

    2. It seems to the American university president that________.

        A. Einstein achieved more than any other scientist in history

        B. everybody understands Einstein's scientific ideas

        C. the new view of the universe can be quickly learned by everyone

        D. our ideas about the universe are different today from those in the past because of Einstein

    3. Between 1914 and 1918 Einstein________.

        A. received world-wide praise

        B. had no chances for study

        C. almost did nothing in his office

    D. still continued his scientific research

    4. Einstein did his greatest work________.

        A. when Nazism rose

        B. when he was young

        C. during World War I

    D. after he left Europe

    5. From the passage we can know that ________.

        A. Germans usually have a high respect for science

        B. Einstein had other interests besides science

    Liverpool, with its half a million citizens, is a big city. It's a city with variety and options.
    Every year, tourists from all over the world go to Liverpool, most of whom head straight for the stadium to catch the city's two football teams in action. Liverpool and Everton are both world－famous clubs with fans from all corners of the World, as well as a good number of home grown supporters.
    Another big draw to the city is the four local boys. Paul, John, George and Ringo, collectively famous as The Beatles. The pop quartet (四重唱表演小组) first put Liverpool on the world map in the 1960s.

Fans can also join one of the coach trips around the sights associated with the band, from the houses they grew up in, to the places including Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields.
    But Liverpool is about more than music and sport. It is rich in history, with some of the most shocking architecture in the UK. The city has two great cathedrals(教堂): Anglican－the largest of its kind in Europe; and the more modern－styled Metropolitan. The famous waterfront, with the Pierhead and the Albert Docks, is also worth a visit. Many of the city's great museums are situated here, including the Walker Art Gallery, the Liverpool Maritime Museum, and the Tate Gallery, which is home to the largest modern art collection in the North. The nightlife in the city also has a lot to offer. With more than 250 bars, pubs and restaurants, there is always something for everyone to do in Liverpool. Music, museums, shopping, history, pubs and bars——it's all there. It is the world in one city, a place truly deserving of the Capital of Culture title.
