Amundsen was born in Borge, near Oslo, Norway. He attended the University of Christiania and then joined the Norwegian navy.Amundsen made a three- year expedition in the Arctic beginning in 1903. He was the first to navigate the Northwest Passage, a northern water route from the Atlantic to the Pacific. But Amundsens great voyage began in 1910, at the other end of the Earth.He intended to go to the North Pole, but he heard that Robert Peary had already reached it. So instead Amundsen headed to the South Pole in his ship, Fram. He learned that a British expedition, led by Robert would start for Antarctica in January, 1911. He and his men had to wait out the bitter could, windy winter on the edge of the ice before they could head for the South Pole.In October (Antarcticas spring), they set out, with 52 well- trained dogs to pull their sledges. On the way to the pole, they climbed glaciers (冰山), went around huge cracks in the ice, and survived freezing blizzards(暴风雪). Finally, on December 14,1911, Amundsen placed the Norwegian flang at the South Pole. Scott and his men found the flag there when they reached the Pole a month after Amundsens party . 1.

But he was almost as strange as his Theory of Relativity(相对论).Once, while riding a street car in Berlin, he told the conductor that he hadnt given him the right change. The conductor counted the change again and found it to be correct, so he handed it back to Einstein, saying, “The trouble with you is, you dont know your figures.”Einstein said that there were only twelve people living who understood his Theory of Relativity, although a good many books had been written to explain it.He himself explained relativity in this very simple way: When you sit with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute; but when you sit on a hot stove(烤炉) for a minute, it seems like an hour.He had nothing but contempt (轻视) for the things most people set their hearts on for fame and money. He didnt want money or praise. He made his own happiness out of such simple things as his work and playing the violin and sailing his boat. Einsteins violin brought him more joy than anything else in life.He led a very simple sort of life, went around in old clothes that needed pressing, seldom wore a hat. He shaved (刮胡子) with the same soap that he used for his bath. The man who was trying to solve the most difficult problems of the universe said that using two kinds of soap made his life completely too complicated (复杂的). 7.

She stayed there until she left school. Then, she travelled around France. She earned money by painting peoples pictures and writing for a newspaper in Paris. She married an artist and went with him to paint in Spain.In the 1930s, she left Spain and returned to London. She worked for her fathers company and made maps of the world. She thought there was a need for new street maps of London and started working on a book of maps. She collected a lot of information. She walked along every street in London and wrote down the names, the important buildings and even the house numbers. She kept the information about the streets on cards in small boxes. One day a box with cards on all the streets beginning with “Tr” fell out of her window. She found most of her cards, but some landed(落在) on top of a bus and she never saw those cards again. When she sent everything to the painter, someone asked her, “Why isnt Trafalgar Square in your book?” It was because she had lost the card! She called her book A to Z. The first A to Z was in the shops in 1936 and sold very well. Now it is the most popular book of London street maps. Besides the street names, it shows important buildings like government offices, museums, theatres and schools; parks and public gardens; sports facilities; train and underground stations.Later Phyllis Persil returned to the streets of London to paint pictures of many of the city famous buildings. 13.
