switzerland and got his ph. d at the university of zurich. he went to live in the united states in 1933 because of the rise of nazism (纳粹) in germany and hitlers persecution (迫害) of the jews.in 1905, while still at zurich, he published his special theory of relativity, which was based on things everyone may have noticed. if two trains are standing alongside each other and one train starts to move, a person sitting in the train may wonder whether his own train is moving or the other is moving, and before he finds out what is happening, he can see that one train is moving relatively to the other. from this and also from other more complicated facts, einstein came to the conclusion that all motion is relative and that there are really no such things as absolute(绝对) motion. some of the other conclusions he drew are that nothing can go faster than light, and that if something such as a ruler was moving faster and faster it would seem to get shorter and shorter as its speed was near the speed of light. by 1915, einstein had made known his general theory of relativity. he also improved on newtons theory of gravity. most of his theories have been tested and found to be true though some may sound strange. for his important work he was awarded the 1921 nobel prize for physics.1in 1933, einstein went to live in the united states because _. a. he loved the usa more than his own country b. he had got some friends there with whom he could work together c. he wanted to live quietly in the usa d. he could no longer work in germany when hitler came into power2einstein published his special theory of relativity when he was _. a. in the united states b. in ulm, germany after he got his ph. d c. still in switzerland at the age of twentysix d. still at the university of zurich at the age of thirtysix3one of the conclusions drawn by einstein is that_.a. places go faster than trains and busesb. people couldnt run as fast as vehiclesc. light goes the fastest of all the thingsd. two trains can go in different directions4einstein added that if something such as a ruler was moving it would seem to get shorter and shorter _.a. because the ruler itself was shortb. when it was moving faster and fasterc. because we cant see it clearlyd. because the ruler was broken into piecesbnobel, who was born in stockholm, is a great scientist famous for his dangerous experiments.nobel studied in usa and then russia between 1850 and 1859. after return, he started researching into bombs. as is known, bomb is dangerous to life, but nobel was working under that condition. once a big explosion in his lab completely destroyed the lab and caused some deaths. after that he had to experiment on a boat in a lake. he received criticism and satire (讽刺), but he proceeded with the work rather than lose heart. from 1860s to 1880s, nobel made many achievements and his inventions were first used in building roads and digging tunnels. most of the bombs are safer and more possible to be controlled. even at the end of 20th century, we still use his methods.nobel had many patents (专利) in britain and other european countries. he was quick to see industrial openings (机会) for his scientific inventions and built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries. indeed his greatness lay in his outstanding ability to combine the qualities of an original scientist with those of a forwardlooking industrialist.but nobels main concern was never with making money or even with making scientific discoveries. seldom happy, he was always searching for a meaning to life, and from his youth, he had taken a serious interest in literature and philosophy. his greatest wish, however, was to see an end to wars, and thus peace between nations, and he spent much time and money working for this cause. to follow his will, a fund was set up to encourage people to make progress in physics, chemistry, physiology (生理学), medicine, literature and peace. thats the nobel prize which means great honor to a scientist.5t
