课文背景（background）
Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist. Einstein developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics. Einstein's work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. Einstein is best known by the general public for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect", a pivotal step in the evolution of quantum theory.

课文Reading解析
Two 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 genius① like you, Dr Einstein."
One evening, on their way to② a university, Einstein said, "I'm so tired. I wish I could③ avoid giving④ my lecture tonight, Hans, but I don't want to let my audience down."
"I know what to do⑤," said Hans. "I can give the lecture for⑥ 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 to⑦ 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 pale⑧. "Oh no!" he thought. "Now we're in trouble." But Hans just laughed and said, ''That's such an easy question that⑨ even my driver can answer it. Hans, please ..."
Einstein stood up and answered the question perfectly.
They left the university, with Einstein driving⑩. A little later, Hans offered to drive. "No," laughed Einstein. "It's a pleasure to drive a genius like you, Hans."
