  Einstein had a rich sense of humour, though his mind was always busy thinking about problems of nature and working out new theories. He would sometimes crack (谈,讲) a joke or two even when he might be speaking about some complicated (复杂的) theory of physics to a learned group of scientists. For example, he once gave a talk on his theory of time. He discussed dozens of different ideas about time. But after an hour or so he suddenly stopped, and with a look that seemed to say “I'm sorry”, he asked, “Does anyone know what time it is? I'm afraid, it's getting late.”

  Another time towards the end of his life, when he was with a group of young students, mostly young men, he was asked to explain his law of relativity. He smiled, and then said, “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, you think it's only a minute. But when you sit on a hot stove (炉子) for a minute, you think it's two hours. That is relativity.”

阅读理解

  Rich or poor, we all have problems:that unfaithful mate, that irritating(恼人的)colleague, that persistent disease, the investment that is turning into a huge loss.

  How do we remain calm, positive and even elegant in the face of all these difficulties of life?

  The following suggestions may help.

  It comes with the pay.I have a friend who used to complain about her dead-end job and unreasonable boss.Sound familiar?One day I told her.“Look at it this way.You are getting paid for the annoyance as well as the work.It comes with the pay.”

  This has become my favorite saying for work-related frustrations.“Take every day as a bonus.”When we learn to treasure every moment of what we have, we begin to see life in a whole new perspective.

  It's all in the mind.Sure, the psychologists tell us it is important we work at resolving problems.But they also say if you try to resolve a problem that would not go away, it would only compound(使更复杂)the frustration.

  If you tell yourself there isn't a problem, there won't be one.It's all in the mind.

  Stop thinking about your own problem-help others instead.A lady who is combating a life-threatening disease revealed she coped with her illness by making herself useful, by offering help to others in a similar situation.

  She has spoken to at least five other women with breast cancer.She says that the sharing has helped her to find fresh meaning in her own life.

  Never give up on your dream.Why do we give in and give up when we meet difficulties?Is it because we have no confidence in our cause and no commitment for what we pursue?

  It was said that Albert Einstein's last request on his death bed was to be given his equations and his unfinished statement declining the presidency of Israel.

  Einstein first picked up his equations and lamented to his son,“If only I had more mathematics!”What a great persistent spirit!

  One strong-hearted lady was the late head of the tragic Kennedy family, Rose Kennedy.She said this on nationwide television one week after losing yet another son to an assassin's bullet-Boddy Kennedy:“And we go on our way with no regrets not looking backwards to the past, but we shall carry on with courage.”

  Not the end of the world.Do you know something else?I've learned that care as you might, love as you might, some people just don't care back.

  And it's not the end of the world.After all, it's not the event that makes a person, is it?It's what we do about that happens to us.

(1)

Which of the following may serve as an appropriate title for this passage?

[  ]

A.

How to Face Problems.

B.

How to Resolve Problems.

C.

How to Hold on to Your Dream.

D.

[  ]

A.

we should see life from a new perspective

B.

C.

we should regard every day as the last day in our life

D.

(3)

Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned by the author?

[  ]

A.

Helping others will make it easier for us to solve our own difficulties.

B.

We can learn to see life from a fresh light.

C.

We should have confidence in our cause so that we won't give in easily.

D.

We should not be overwhelmed by problems in our life.
