An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity(同一性) of time and space and so on but even ordinary men 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 years following World War I, honors were increasingly put on him. He became head of the Kaiser Whiem 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(谦卑的) 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 Naziism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.76.

The fares used to be expensive, but then they were cut, and now far more people are using the tube than ever before.The movement of trains is coordinated(协调) in the Central Control room near Eustom Station. The Line Controllers job is to keep the service as close as possible to the timetable. Many things can go wrong on such a large network, there are closedowns, accidents and so on.The main criticism of passengers is that the trains dont run late enough at night, and dont reach far enough out of London, but, on the whole, most passengers are happy with the servi
