The great scientist Albert Einstein didn't seem to be bright when he was young. No one ever thought that shy，young Albert would grow up to change the world. {P}_{\mathbf{H}\mathbf{e}} was so slow in learning to speak that he was considered a bit dull. Here is the story of his youth.

Albert Einstein was never happy at school. He did not like to memorise facts and rules. He answered slowly because he was a thinker.And he asked difficult questions, which made his teachers think that he was trying to make trouble. However, young Einstein did learn what interested him. {\mathfrak{P}}_{\mathbf{H}\mathbf{e}} was interested in what lay below the surface of things. When he was five, for instance, his father gave him a compass with a moving needle. This made Albert Einstein curious about the unseenforces that could keep a compass needle always pointing north. ? When he was a teenager, he read a lot aboutscienceandhehadalreadystartedto wonderaboutthemysteriesoftheuniverse. When he was 17，Einstein entered the Polytechnic Institute in Zurich, Switzerland, where he studied mathematics and physics. He stayed away from many lectures and did not impress his professors, but he was actually studying very hard all the time. When he graduated in 190o, he asked to be an assistant in the physics department but was refused.

Another of Edison's great inventions was an improvement on the telephone. ? The telephone that

AlexanderGrahamBellinventedin1876would notbeworkoverdistancesofmorethanthreeto five kilometres. After hundreds of experiments, Edison improved the telephone， so that it could carry speech over great distances.In March 1878, Edison's telephone connected New York City to another American city 172 kilometres away.

The use of electricity as a source of power became popular because of the work of Thomas Edison. {17}{x} When Edison died in 1931 at the age of 84, the American government wanted to turn off all the electricity in the country as a way of paying their respect to the great man.

CrashDetect app automatically monitors your trips using its “smart drive-detection" functionality.It is able to detect a serious car crash simply by using a certain sensor inyour phone that measures the g-force of an impact. The app then points the driver's location and sends to the nearest ambulance—complete with medical workers that knowthe user's medical history—automatically.

Smartphone alert systems are also being used for personal security as well.

As well as a “Help Me” button, the OTR app offers a“Track Me”service that allows users' friends and family to track their progress while travelling,and be aware if they have met unusual conditions,for example.

"Many safety apps were introduced in the market but without dedicated response teams, hence they were of not much use,” says the chief executive. @“Family safety is the biggest concern of the working class these days.But we give our users a reason to feel safe at all times and have a peace of mind.

M: Ah, @it was a long trip that was about nineteen hours.
W:That's crazy! You could have flown here from London for 60 euros,and it only takes about an hour and a half. Was it really worthwhile just to save a bit of money?
M:It was not about the money. {G}_{\mathbf{It}} was because that I had a fear of flying, so I had no choice. But to be honest, it was a really uncomfortable　ride. I didn't see any beautiful view at all. What was even worse, there was a guy next to me who was breathing really loudly while he was sleeping.
W:That's why you look so tired right now.
M:Yes ,and {}^{\mathbb{G}}\mathbf{I} wasn't expecting the bus to be so unpleasant.

As I got older, my teachers and parents wanted me toget serious about playing. {}^{\mathfrak{G}}\mathbf{S_{0}} , in high school, I took music classesandplayedinsomeconcertstomakethem pleased. I travelled to other cities to play. The concerts and the travelling were hard on me. I was worried about making my parents proud and being the best I could be. When I left high school and went to college, I stopped playing as much. At some point, I decided not to play the piano any more. But I never forgot the music. Now I just play for fun. I don't practise every day,and I don't have to become the best player any more. But that's okay with me.

Huanglong is a beautiful natural area in the north of Sichuan,China.It is located in the southern part of the Minshan mountain range, 370 kilometres from the capital Chengdu. The Huanglong Valley is a special attraction here. Huanglong got its name from a chain of pools that flow through the valley. From a distance, the river looks like a huge golden dragon. The main body of water starts from the ancient temple at the top of the valley. {\mathbb{\stackrel{\tiny~registered~}{\tiny~mu}}}{\bf\Lambda} runs 2.5 kilometres to the north in the 7. 5 kilometre -long valley.In Huanglong,the soft mineral,which is colourless or white，deposited from hot springs,formed a type of rock over thousands of years. This mineral gives the water its various shades of green,blue,brown and mainly yellow.

The waterway with its jewel-coloured pools flows between peaks full of snow like a great yellow dragon wandering through the mountain. There are about 3,400 of these natural pools throughout the valley. Some are quite large, and some are no bigger than a bowl of soup. All, however, are only for viewing. In order to protect the landscape，visitors are discouraged from going into the water.There is more than enough nature to enjoy, though, as Huanglong is also home to several endangered animals, including the panda and the Sichuan golden monkey.

When friends come to visit us in the evening, very often they seem in a hurry and look at their watches.It isn't that our friends are all very busy.It is just that we haven't got a television. People think that we are very strange.“But what do you do in the evenings?" they are always asking. The answer is simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don't spend our evenings staring at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking， sewing and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is particularly useful as we always go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps, coins and pictures and am always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to music, singing and playing chess together. Sometimes there're power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us as we just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. {\mathfrak{G}}_{\mathbf{0ur}} friends arelost—notelevision!Sotheydon't know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full as they all come to us. They all have a good time.Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and plays games. {}^{\otimes}{\bf Y e s} , life is certainly possible without television.

Good evening,everyone.I come along to talk to you about my painting. It was just a hobby but it's really more than that now.

I used to paint in the evenings after work, but now I work four days a week instead of five. That means I spend Friday, Saturday and Sunday on my painting.

I'd love to give up my job and spend all my time painting,but I work with computers and I earn more that way! And I need the money to pay for my modern flat and new car. {}^{\mathbb{8}}\mathbf{I} do make some money from selling my pictures,enough to pay for all my paints, brushes and paper.

I first became interested in art when {}^{registered}{\bf I} was at primary school. I used to go out with some paper and afewpencilsduringbreaktime and draw anything I saw : houses, gardens and people. Then at secondary school we had art classes twice a week,and I learnt how to use chalk. Those classes were really useful for me,and ever since then I've had lessons of some kind. I've attended evening classes and been on what they call painting “holidays". I've enjoyed painting in lots of different countries. I've been to Morocco and painted desert scenes with beautiful sunrises.

Well,? I'm going to finish now by showing you a video of the placesI've visited.After that there'llbe achancetorelaxwithacupofcoffee and then there'll be some time for some questions.Oh,I've got some information about my next art exhibition for you. It's going to be at the Queen's Gallery.

Facial expressions carry different meanings. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. A woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper.YetmanyAmericans smilefreely at strangers in public places.Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don't smile enough. {}^{\mathfrak{G}}\mathbf{In} southeast Asian cultures， a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings.Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.

The US bought Alaska from Russia about 100 years ago. ? The US paid less than two cents an acre.One Alaska island is only two miles from a Russian island. The nearest state is Washington, 500 miles away.

Alaska is more than twice as big as Texas. It has many different kinds of weather.It has a longer coastline than all the other states together.The ocean water is full of sea life. Alaska's fish catch is one of the biggest of all the states. {\mathfrak{P}}\mathbf{M}\mathbf{ost} of Alaska's land is still owned by the US government,instead of by people or businesses.

Alaska is the biggest state, but it has the fewest people. Towns are far apart. Long roads cost alot tobuild in such a wild country.So there aren't many roads. Many people use planes to travel in the state. Others travel in boats along the coast.Rivers freeze in winter，but boats travel on them after the ice melts.

Now, I want to give you some information about the trip this Saturday.The bus leaves at 9 am from outside school. Our first visit is to a factory where chocolate is made.We've booked a guided tour, and you'll be able to see how it's produced. You don't need to pay to go into the factory, but don't forget to bring some money with you because I'm sure some of you will want to go to the shop after the tour.

We'll be there all morning, and then the bus willtake us somewhere else for lunch. @ We're going to stop for a picnic by a river. There isn't anywhere to buy lunch there. The school is providing the food, so you don't need to bring sandwiches,but please bring something to drink. After lunch, we'll go into the town centre,and there are two organised activities on offer. The first is to go to the Grand Theatre to see a dance show. You don't need to decide now if you want to go to this place as we can buy tickets on Saturday. Tickets are normally 26 dollars, but as you're all students, you can get in for 15 dollars, which will save you 11 dollars. If that doesn't interest you, there'll be another teacher to go with you to a museum,which is reallyinteresting anddoesn't cost anything.I've got some information about it here if you'd like to know more.
