In 1899, he studied at a famous university in Zurich (苏黎世). His teacher was rofessor Minkevsky.Once Einstein asked Minkevsky, “How can a person, like me, leave his clear footprints on the road ofs37 . and make a great contribution?” Minkevsky said that it was a “complicated”(复杂的) problem and he had to give him an a38 . later.Three days later, Minkevsky told Einstein that the answer was coming! B39 . he didnt say anything. They walked toward a building site. He asked Einstein to set foot on a concrete (混凝土) road that the workers had just f40 . .All the workers shouted at him. Einstein was very confused(困惑的). “Sir, are you leading me the w41 . way?” he asked.“Think a42 . it,” Minkevsky said. “Cant you see? Only the new concrete road surface can l43 . deep footprints. The old road surface has been hard for a long time. Many people leave steps on the old road. You cannot find your footprint there.” Hearing that, Einstein thought for a long time and nodded.After that, a very strong sense of innovation(创新) b44 . to guide Einsteins thinking and action. He tried again and again to discover new theories(理论). Nobody could tell him what to do. N45 . book could guide him. But he said, “I never remember what dictionaries carry. My brain only remembers those things that are not i46 . in books.” It was because of this that Einstein left his shining footprints in the history of science.五、多任务混合问题As we all know, bikes are usually made of steel.

The factories will make cheap bamboo bikes.Bamboo grows everywhere in Ghana. It also grows in America. Bamboo is a grass, not a tree, and it is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world.Bamboo is as good as steel for building a good bike. Mary Odlin works at the studio. He says a bamboo bike is the wonderful everyday bike.In Ghana, bikes are very popular. Few people have money to buy a car. Bikes are useful and people use them to carry most of the countrys food and other goods.The people of Ghana are also too poor and they cant build factories to make steel bikes. But making bamboo bikes is cheap. Odlin plans to show Ghanaian workers how to quickly make bamboo bikes. He says each worker can make about four bikes a day.“In America, we have too many goods,” says Odlin. “So we dont appreciate (感激) what we have. In Ghana, people dont have many goods. We want people in America to have a better relationship with their goods and people in Ghana to have more goods.”47 . According to the
