Question

“Dear Sir, I probably would have written ages ago, only I was not aware(意識到)that you were still alive, ”writes a South African schoolgirl called Tyfanny in 1946. “I must have been mixing you up with Sir Isaac Newton. ”

Tyfanny, who goes on to ask Albert Einstein about the nature of space, received a(n)  1  reply from the great man six weeks later. “Dear Tyfanny, ”he writes, “I have to apologize to you that I am still among the  2  . This will not always be the case, however. ”

Tyfanny is one of the 60 children whose   3  to one of the greatest scientists of all time are  4  in the book Dear Professor Einstein: Albert Einstein’s Letters To And From Children.

For example, it was in a letter to a 12-year-old girl from New York that he makes his now well-known remark:“Do not worry about your  16  in mathematics; I promise you that  17  are still greater. ”

“This is a beautiful and touching  18  . It is amazing how intelligent some of the children’s  19  are, ”said a reader from Georgia, US. “but it is more interesting to get to know the other  20  of Einstein. ”
