a small amount of matter. this was expressed by the equation e = mc2. but bombs were not what einstein had in mind when he published this equation.in 1929, he publicly declared that if a war broke out he would refuse to do war service, direct or indirect. his position would change in 1933, as the result of adolf hitlers coming into power in germany.einsteins greatest role in the invention of the atomic bomb (原子弹) was signing a letter to president franklin roosevelt urging that the bomb be built because some physicists feared that germany might be working on an atomic bomb. among those concerned were physicists leo szilard and eugene wigner. but they had no influence with those in power. so in july 1939 they explained the problem to someone who did: albert einstein. after talking with einstein, in august 1939 szilard wrote a letter to president roosevelt with einsteins signature on it, which was delivered to roosevelt in october 1939.germany had invaded (入侵) poland the previous month, the time was ripe for action. that october research of a-bomb began but proceeded slowly because the invention of the atomic bomb seemed distant and unlikely. in april 1940 an einstein letter, ghost-written by szilard, pressed the researchers on the need for greater speed.as the realization of nuclear weapons grew near, einstein looked beyond the current war to future problems that such weapons could bring. he wrote to his friend about his fear about the future use of the a-bomb.the atomic bombings of japan occurred three months after germany gave in. in november 1954, five months before his death, einstein summarized his feelings about his role in the creation of the atomic bomb: i made one great mistake in my life.when i signed the letter to president roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made; but there was some justification-the danger that the germans would make them?26. what can we learn about szilard and wignera. they were not as influential as einstein. b. they had cheated their friend einstein.c. they were to blame for the invention of nuclear weapons. d. they had a purpose of destroying the world. 27. einstein realized his mistake in _.a. co-operating with his workmates b. inventing the atomic bombc. publishing his equation d. signing the letter to roosevelt28. we can conclude that einstein _.a. assisted with the invention of atomic bomb b. directly participated in the invention of the atomic bombc. was not involved in the invention of atomic bomb at alld. contributed to the invention of atomic bomb29. please decide the order of the following events according to the passage. a. einsteins letter reached president roosevelt. b. the atomic bombs attacked japan.c. germany invaded poland. d. germany gave in.e. the equation e = mc2 was published. f. the research of a-bomb started.a. c,e,a,f,b,d b. a,e,b,d,f,c c. e,c,a,f,d,b d. e,c,b,f,a,d30. the best title for the passage would be _.a. a story of albert einstein b. albert einstein and the atomic bombc. it was unfair for einstein d. how the atomic bomb was inventedbyou might think that global warming means nothing more than a rise in the worlds temperature. but rising

result. tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the countrys drinking water.paani laupepa, a tuvaluan government official, reported to the earth policy institute that

greenhouse gas emissions（导致温室效应的气体排放）, which are a main cause of global warming.“by refusing to sign the agreement, the us has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,” laupepa told the bbc.tuvalu has asked australia and new zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable （易受影响的）to rising sea levels. maumoon gayoon, president of the maldives, told the united nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered
