阅读理解     Einstein was born in Germany in 1879. In his early childhood he was slow to learn to talk and didn't seem to be
very bright. But by the time he was fourteen years old, he had taught himself advanced math from text books. By
then he knew what he wanted to be when he grew up. He wanted to be a physicist in the future.
     The Einsteins didn't have so much money to pay for the advanced education that young Albert needed. But the
family tried their best to send him to a technical school and later to the university in Switzerland. After graduation,
he went to work, first a teacher, t

hen in a government(政府) office. With the pay that he received he was able to
go on with his schooling at the Unive

rsity of Zurich, where he received a doctor's degree in 1905. This was the
first time when he first began the research and studies which led to his famous Theory of Relativity.
     As time went on, Einstein's theory proved to be correct and by 1914 he had become one of the most famous men
in the world. His work was stopped by the First World War. The war made him quite sad. He lost interest in much of
his research. only when the war was over in 1918 was he able to get happily back to work. He won the Nobel Prize
for physics in 1921.
