Unit2 geniuses
Many people consider Albert Einstein (1879-1955) a genius. This story about him shows that he also had a sense of humour.
Einstein often received invitations to explain his theories at different universities. On these trips, his driver Hans often said to him, "It's a pleasure to drive a genius like you, Dr Einstein."
One evening, on their way to a university, Einstein said, "I'm so tired. I wish I could avoid giving my lecture tonight, Hans, but I don't want to let my audience down."
"I know what to do," said Hans. "I can give the lecture for you. You can trust me. I've listened to your lecture so many times that I've learnt it by heart. No one knows you at this university, so they won't find out."
So, they changed places. At the university, Hans was guided to the front of the hall. Einstein took a seat, listened to Hans give his lecture without difficulty, and joined in the applause at the end.
However, before Hans left, a man shouted, "I'd like to ask you a question." He then asked a question so difficult that Hans had no idea what he was talking about.
Einstein turned pale. "Oh no!" he thought. "Now we're in trouble." But Hans just laughed and said, "That's such an easy question that even my driver can answer it. Hans, please ... "
Einstein stood up and answered the question perfectly.
They left the university, with Einstein driving. A little later,Hans offered to drive. "No," laughed Einstein. "It's a pleasure to drive a genius like you,Hans."

A Read this story about Albert Einstein and then answer the questions below.
Einstein and the little girl
One afternoon, Einstein was walking home from work. At the same time, a 12-year-old girl was walking home from school. They were soon walking side by side. The girl looked at him curiously from time to time.
"Pardon me," the girl said, "but you look just like Albert Einstein."
"That's because I am Albert Einstein!" Einstein said.
"I don't believe you," the girl said. "Everyone knows that Einstein is a genius. But you're wearing your sweater backwards, so you can't be very clever."
Einstein began to laugh. "You're the first person to be so honest with me," he said to the girl. "It's a pleasure to hear someone tell me the truth about my look."
After that day, the girl often went to visit Einstein's house after school. One afternoon, the girl's mother went to visit Einstein. She asked him why he spent so much time with her daughter.
"Our friendship is easy to explain," Einstein said. "Your daughter tells me the truth about my look and brings me cookies. In return, I help her with her Maths homework."
