His biggest dream was to find one explanation for the basic (基础的) ideas in physics but he died before this was possible.
As a famous scientist, Einstein got letters from people around the world. Some of the letters were from children and he always answered them. One letter was from a girl with math problems at school. “Do not worry about your difficulties in math” was his answer. “I can tell you that mine are still greater.”

Albert Einstein and Wolfgang Mozart are possibly the two most famous examples of people who are geniuses (天才). But unlike Mozart, Einstein wasn’t very talented as a kid. Born in Germany in 1879, he was slow to learn to speak, and he was a normal student at school. He was interested in math and science, but he liked to study at home better. Later he studied to be a teacher, but he didn’t find a job in a school and for some years, he was an office worker. A lot of Einstein’s most famous ideas were the result of study in his free time, when he also played the violin to relax.
From 1908, he was a university teacher for many years, first in Europe and then in the US. He was the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. He was famous for the theory of relativity (相对论), but only several scientists could understand it. His biggest dream was to find one explanation for the basic (基础的) ideas in physics but he died before this was possible.
As a famous scientist, Einstein got letters from people around the world. Some of the letters were from children and he always answered them. One letter was from a girl with math problems at school. “Do not worry about your difficulties in math” was his answer. “I can tell you that mine are still greater.”
Einstein died in a hospital in 1955. He was named “Person of the Century” in 1999 by Time Magazine.

14．Einstein died when he was ________ years old.
A．44 B．55 C．76 D．79

A father took his son to fly kites in the park. Soon, the son’s kite was very high in the sky. After a while, the son said, "Father, it seems that the thread (线) is stopping the kite from flying higher. If we break it, the kite will be free and fly even higher. Can we break it " So the father cut the thread. The kite started to go a little higher. That made the son very happy.
But then, slowly, the kite started to come down. Seeing that, the young son asked his father, "Father, I thought without the thread, the kite could freely fly higher. But why did it fall down "
The father explained, "Son, the thread was not stopping the kite from flying higher, but it was helping it stay higher when the wind slowed down or picked up. You helped the kite fly higher in a proper direction through the thread. And after we cut the thread, the kite fell down without the support you provided for it through the thread." Hearing what the father said, the son lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Sometimes we feel that we can progress quickly and reach new heights in our life if we are not tied up with our family. But we fail to realize that our family help us get through the hard times in our life with their support.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

A．the hard times B．the family C．the progress D．the encouragement
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据“Sometimes we feel that we can progress quickly and reach new heights in our life if we are not tied up with our family”，可知，文中将风筝线比作家庭，有时我们想在摆脱家庭束缚的情况下可以达到新的高度，故选B。
