4. Before Reading_2_1 Before ReadingGlobal ReadingDetailed ReadingAfter Reading Albert Einstein, whose Special Theory of Relativity and General Theory of Relativity revolutionized scientific perceptions of the universe, is acknowledged, along with Newton, as one of history’s greatest physicists. Son of free-thinking, cultured Jews, Einstein was unable to speak until he was three and displayed no special promise. Anti-Semitism also hampered his talent when it began to emerge. He became a Swiss citizen in 1901, obtaining a doctorate from the University of Bern in 1905. His research, which ended in the famous equation E=mc 2, was published in the same year. After World War I, Einstein’s fame extended beyond the scientific community and in 1921 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics. During the 1920s he regarded the rise of the Nazis in Germany with horror, eventually emigrating to the U.S. where, in 1933, he took up a post at Princeton University. In 1939 his early warnings of German scientific attempts to make an atomic bomb prompted the start of the Manhattan Project. ■

8. BeforeReading_2_3_1 Before ReadingGlobal ReadingDetailed ReadingAfter Reading 1. A brief introduction In 1905 Einstein received his doctorate from the University of Zurich for a theoretical dissertation on the dimensions of molecules, and he also published three theoretical papers of central importance to the development of 20th- century physics. On the basis of the General Theory of Relativity, Einstein accounted for the previously unexplained variations in the orbital motion of the planets and predicted the bending of starlight in the vicinity of a massive body such as the sun. The confirmation of this latter phenomenon during an eclipse of the sun in 1919 became a media event, and Einstein’s fame spread worldwide. ■

9. BeforeReading_2_3_2 Before ReadingGlobal ReadingDetailed ReadingAfter Reading 2. Einstein explains the equivalence of energy and matter “It followed from the Special Theory of Relativity that mass and energy are both but different manifestations of the same thing — a somewhat unfamiliar conception for the average mind. Furthermore, the equation E is equal to mc squared, in which energy is put equal to mass, multiplied by the square of the velocity of light, showed that very small amounts of mass may be converted into a very large amount of energy and vice versa. The mass and energy were in fact equivalent, according to the formula mentioned before. This was demonstrated by Cockcroft and Walton in 1932, experimentally.” ■

10. BeforeReading_2_4 Before ReadingGlobal ReadingDetailed ReadingAfter Reading When Hitler came to power, Einstein immediately decided to leave Germany for the United States. He took a position at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, New Jersey. In 1939 Einstein collaborated with several other physicists in writing a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, pointing out the possibility of making an atomic bomb and the likelihood that the German government was embarking on such a course. The letter, which bore only Einstein’s signature, helped lend urgency to efforts in the U.S. to build the atomic bomb, but Einstein himself played no role in the work and knew nothing about it at the time. ■

11. BeforeReading_2_5 Before ReadingGlobal ReadingDetailed ReadingAfter Reading After 1919, Einstein became internationally renowned. He accrued honors and awards, including the Nobel Prize in physics in 1921, from various world scientific societies. His visit to any part of the world became a national event; photographers and reporters followed him everywhere. After the war, Einstein was active in the cause of international disarmament and world government but declined the offer made by leaders of the state of Israel to become president of that country. In the U.S. during the late 1940s and early 1950s he spoke out on the need for the nation’s intellectuals to make any sacrifice necessary to preserve political freedom. Einstein died in Princeton on April 18, 1955. ■

The player holds the end of the string which unwinds itself as the disk is dropped. Then by a slight jerk on the string, the player causes it to rewind itself, and to reel up back to the hand. The toy is said to have originated in the Philippines. Since 1930 it has become a popular toy and even today children in different countries play the Yo-Yo and compete in various contests.

The Nobel Prizes are internationally recognized as the most prestigious awards in The Nobel Prize ■ each of these fields. The prizes were established by Swedish inventor and industrialist Alfred Bernhard Nobel, who set up a fund for them in his will. The first Nobel Prizes were awarded on December 10, 1901, the fifth anniversary of Nobel’s death.

14. Before Reading_5 Before ReadingGlobal ReadingDetailed ReadingAfter Reading Frank Winfield Woolworth (1852~1919), an American merchant, was born in Rodman, New York. He established in 1879 a five-cent store at Utica, New York, which failed, and the same year he started a successful five-and-ten-cent store at Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Woolworth opened many others and soon extended business throughout the United States and to several foreign countries. In 1911 the F. W. Woolworth Company was incorporated with ownership of over 1,000 five-and-tens, and he became director of various financial firms. (The last Woolworth stores were closed in 1998.) Woolworth had the Woolworth Building erected in New York City in 1913, the highest building in the world (792 ft / 241.4 m) at that time. Woolworth’s ■

25. My father was a close friend of Albert Einstein. As a shy young visitor to Einstein’s home, I was made to feel at ease when Einstein said, “I have something to show you.” He went to his desk and returned with a Yo- Yo. He tried to show me how it worked but he couldn’t make it roll back up the string. When my turn came, I displayed my few tricks and pointed out to him that the incorrectly looped string had thrown the toy off balance. Einstein nodded, properly impressed by my skill and knowledge. Article1_S Before ReadingGlobal ReadingDetailed ReadingAfter Reading The Professor and the Yo-Yo Thomas Lee Bucky with Joseph P.Blank Later, I bought a new Yo-Yo and mailed it to the Professor as a Christmas present, and received a poem of thanks.

26. As a boy and then as an adult, I never lost my wonder at the personality that was Einstein. He was the only person I knew who had come to terms with himself and the world around him. He knew what he wanted and he wanted only this: to understand within his limits as a human being the nature of the universe and the logic and simplicity in its functioning. He knew there were answers beyond his intellectual reach. But this did not frustrate him. He was content to go as far as he could. Article2_S Before ReadingGlobal ReadingDetailed ReadingAfter Reading In the 23 years of our friendship, I never saw him show jealousy, vanity, bitterness, anger, resentment, or personal ambition. He seemed immune to these emotions. He was beyond any pretension. Although he corresponded with many of the world’s most important people, his stationery carried only a watermark — W — for Woolworth’s.

27. Article3_S Before ReadingGlobal ReadingDetailed ReadingAfter Reading To do his work he needed only a pencil and a pad of paper. Material things meant nothing to him. I never knew him to carry money because he never had any use for it. He believed in simplicity, so much so that he used only a safety razor and water to shave. When I suggested that he try shaving cream, he said, “The razor and water do the job.” “But Professor, why don’t you try the cream just once?” I argued. “It makes shaving smoother and less painful.” He shrugged. Finally, I presented him with a tube of shaving cream. The next morning when he came down to breakfast, he was beaming with the pleasure of a new, great discovery. “You know, that cream really works,” he announced. “It doesn’t pull the beard. It feels wonderful.” Thereafter, he used the shaving cream every morning until the tube was empty. Then he reverted to using plain water.

28. Article4_S Before ReadingGlobal ReadingDetailed ReadingAfter Reading Einstein was purely and exclusively a theorist. He didn’t have the slightest interest in the practical application of his ideas and theories. His E=mc 2 is probably the most famous equation in history — yet Einstein wouldn’t walk down the street to see a reactor create atomic energy. He won the Nobel Prize for his Photoelectric Theory, a series of equations that he considered relatively minor in importance, but he didn’t have any curiosity in observing how his theory made TV possible. My brother once gave the Professor a toy, a bird that balanced on the edge of a bowl of water and repeatedly dunked its head in the water. Einstein watched it in delight, trying to deduce the operating principle. But he couldn’t.

29. The next morning he announced, “I had thought about that bird for a long time before I went to bed and it must work this way...” He began a long explanation. Then he stopped, realizing a flaw in his reasoning. “No, I guess that’s not it,” he said. He pursued various theories for several days until I suggested we take the toy apart to see how it did work. His quick expression of disapproval told me he did not agree with this practical approach. He never did work out the solution. Article5_S Before ReadingGlobal ReadingDetailed ReadingAfter Reading

30. Article6_S Before ReadingGlobal ReadingDetailed ReadingAfter Reading Another puzzle that Einstein could never understand was his own fame. He had developed theories that were profound and capable of exciting relatively few scientists. Yet his name was a household word across the civilized world. “I’ve had good ideas, and so have other men,” he once said. “But it’s been my good fortune that my ideas have been accepted.” He was bewildered by his fame: people wanted to meet him; strangers stared at him on the street; scientists, statesmen, students, and housewives wrote him letters. He never could understand why he received this attention, why he was singled out as something special.
