3.Albert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879.He was a quiet child who spent much of his time alone.He was slow to talk and had difficulty learning to read.When Albert was five years old,his father gave him a compass.The child was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction-to the north.He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move.
Albert did not like school.The German schools of that time were not pleasant.Students could not ask questions.Albert said he felt as if he were in prison.
In 1905,Albert Einstein published some important papers in a German scientific magazine.They included one of the most important scientific documents in history.It explained what came to be called his"Special Theory of Relativity".Ten years later,he expanded it to a"General Theory of Relativity".
In 1921,he won the Nobel Prize in Physics.It was given to him not for his theories of relativity,but for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.
Albert Einstein left Germany when Adolph Hitler came to power in 1933.He moved to the United States to continue his research.Einstein became a citizen of the United States in 1940.
Einstein was a famous man,but you would not have known that by looking at him.His white hair was long and wild.He wore old clothes.He showed an inner joy when he was playing his violin or talking about his work.Students and friends said he had a way of explaining difficult ideas using images that were easy to understand.
Einstein spent the last twenty-five years of his life working on what he called a"unified field theory".He hoped to find a common mathematical statement that could tie together all the different parts of physics.He did not succeed.
Albert Einstein died in 1955at the age of seventy-six.

8.[1]A new study has found evidence of aggressive behaVior in children who drink four or more servings of soft drinks every day.
[2]The mothers of 3,000 five-year-olds took part in the study.They were asked to keep a record of how many servings of soft drinks their children drank over a two-month period and keeprecords of howthey behaved.The researchers found that 43 percent of the boys and girls drank at least one daily serving of soda.Four percent of the youngsters had four or more sodas to drink every day.
[3]Children who drank the most soda were more than two times hkely to show signs of aggression."For the children who consumed four or more  soft drinks per day,we see an association between aggressive behaviors,attention problems and withdrawn behaviors."Shakira Suglia says.The aggressive behaviors included destroying possessions belonging to others,taking part in fights and physically attacking people.
[4]Shakira says the researchers identiffed the link after they considered the factors like the child's age and sex.They also considered     ,such as whether the boys and girls were eating sweets or given fruit drinks on a normal day.In addition,the researchers examined parenting styles and other social conditions that might be taking place in the home.
[5]It is not quite clear why young children who drink a lot of soda have behavior pmblems.However,a substance oftell found in soft drinks is caffeine,which helps to make people feel energetic.Doctor Suglia suggests that caffeine could be causing the children to be more aggressive.
[6]The research is part of a larger study called the Fragile Families and Child Welibeing Study.It follows 5,000 poor mothers and their children in 20 American cities.

15.One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience.A novel can be on the"best seller"lists with a sale of up to 100,000copies,but a popular TV show might have 70
million TV viewers.TV can make anything or anyone well-known overnight.
This is the principle behind"quiz"or"game"shows,which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for prizes and money.A quiz show can make anyone a star,and it can give away thousands of dollars.Charles Van Doren,an English instructor,became rich and famous after winning money on several shows.He even had a career as a television personality.But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheating.It turned out that the show's producers,who were pulling the strings,gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand.Why?Because if the audience didn't like the person who won the game,they turned the show off.The result of this cheating was a huge scandal(丑聞).Based on the show off,a movie titled"Quiz Show"is on 40years later.
Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV.But game shows are still here,though they aren't taken seriously.In fact,some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible.There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together,or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on TV,or that punish losers by humiliating(羞辱) them.The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV.People still win money,but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions.

45.What is the most important thing as to television?A
A.How many viewers they can attract   B.Becoming the best seller on the list
C.How much money can be given away    D.The number of people attending shows
46.What does the underlined part"pulling the strings"probably mean?C
A.Planning the shows with effort      B.Drawing the curtain on the stage
C.Controlling the result secretly     D.Playing"quiz"or"game"openly
47.Charles Van Doren stopped his career as a television personality becauseB.
A.he had earned enough wealth and fame.
B.one of the participants had told the truth
C.the film"Quiz Show"was being shown
D.his frequent appearance had bored the audience
48.It can be inferred from the passage thatD.
A.TV Game Shows are more popular than before.
B.the scandal was not made known until 40years later
C.getting money is the only purpose of people taking part in shows
D.people can make themselves famous by taking part in shows.
