14、 in Germany. As a boy, he was slow to learn to talk, but later in his childhood he showed great curiosity about nature and ability to solve difficult mathematical problems. After he left school, he went to Switzerland, where he graduated from the university with a degree in mathematics. In 1905, Ein
15、stein began to publish a series of papers which shook the whole scientificand intellectual world, and for the theories he established in the papers he won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. Because Einstein was Jewish, when Hitler took over Germany in 1933, he had to leave the country and finally
16、settled in the United States. There he continued his study on the structure of the universe until his death in 1955. Among the several important discoveries Einstein made in his life, the greatest is the creation of his famous Theory of Relativity More stories about Albert Einstein GettingLostOneday

19、的意愿，他不愿自己的住处受到打扰。这时电话里的声音降低到近乎耳语般地说“请你不要告诉任何人，我就是爱因斯坦，我正要回家，可是找不到家了。”原来，爱因斯坦参加科学讨论会回来，路上一心思考着讨论的问题，不知不觉地迷了路。ProfessionalModelTangledhair,awrinkledface,unkemptbeard,lightbrowncavernous eyes_thisisthetypicalimageofAlbertEinstein,whichartistslefttous.Einsteinhassuchagentlenature,kindheartthathenevercou
