9、 the greatest scientist in modern physics,is often considered one of the smartest men who ever lived.He made numerous contributions to the world,the most well-known being the general theory of relativity and the famous formula E=mc.Einstein was not only a genius;he was a courageous and kind figure l
10、oved by many people.This gentle genius was born in Germany on 14 March 1879.When he was 16,he tried to enter university in Switzerland,but failed due to his low scores in the general part of the entrance exam,despite obtaining exceptional scores in maths and physics.After studying for another year,h

12、n 1905.That same year,which was later recorded as a miracle year in science,he published four extraordinary physics papers.Following this,he gradually became famous throughout the world as the new Isaac Newton.After four years,he was able to quit his job at the patent office and enter research full-
13、time at a university.In 1922,he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect.Circumstances changed in 1933,When Hitler came to power in Germany.Einstein,who was Jewish,found the doors of academic institutions closed to him.As a consequence,he had to fl
14、ee Germany.After spending time in Europe,he finally took up a position as a researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton,USA.Following that,he continued to make great achievements in physics and mathematics.To the public,he was seen as a slightly odd-looking but kind and funny man.He
15、had a thick moustache and long white hair,which sometimes stood on end as though he had just received an electric shock.Although he was a genius,he sometimes forgot things,like his friends birthdays.But despite his peculiarities,he was loved by his friends and neighbours.There is even a story about
16、how he helped a little girl who knocked on his door and asked for help with her homework.In fact,Einstein often encountered people on the street who would stop him and ask him to help explain things.After many such occasions,he finally started saying,Pardon me!Sorry!Always I am mistaken for Professor Einstein!On 18 April 1955,it was reported that Einstein had passed away,and the wholeworld mourned the great loss of a brilliant scientist.Thank you
