8. Работа с текстом.

Look trough the text and answer the questions before it.

Read the text very attentively and carry out the tasks after it.

Are They Crazy or Am I?

1 READING AND THINKING

A. Pre-reading         

Look at the picture. Can you answer these questions without reading the text?

  • What was this man’s name?
  • Why was he famous?
  • What else do you know about him?

B. Reading

Keep the questions above in mind as you read this biographical sketch.

He was one of the greatest scientists and thinkers in history. However, he was not considered very bright when he was child. When he was nine, his father told his mother he was very worried about him because he was “a little slow.” His teachers complained that he had sense of discipline and that he was a bad influence on the other students.

When he was fifteen, he was thrown out of school, but a few years later he was allowed to study mathematics and physics at a special technical university in Zurich. But even at the university, he was hardly “a good student”. He rarely attended classes, and he was often in trouble with his professors because he constantly argued with them. One of them told him: “You’re smart; extremely smart. But you have one real fault; you never let yourself be told anything!”

When he graduated from the university, he couldn’t get a job – partly because none of his professors would recommend him for one. Finally, he found one in the Swiss Patent Office in Berne.

One of his duties was writing descriptions of new inventions. This helped him learn how write clearly and simply. He later said that the only thing that made many problems in science seem difficult was the language they were described in.

In 1905, when he was only twenty-six, he published an article in a scientific journal. The article dealt with a theory which he called the Theory of Relativity. He became very famous for this theory, which concerns time and gravity and how things change when they travel at very high speeds.

All his life, he lived very simply and was totally uninterested in money, power, or fame. He could never understand why so many people admired him and wanted to meet him. He knew that most of them had never read anything he had written and that they didn’t understand his ideas. “Are they crazy or am I?” he asked.

1. Find the words in the text that mean:

  • smart, quick at learning things
  • not very smart or quick at learning things
  • not often at all
  • very often; again and again
  • to get a degree and leave a school
  • a part of the government that gives people the right to make and sell new inventions
  • the force or pull that one object, such as a planet, has on a smaller object, such as the moon

2. Give your opinion. Do your classmates agree?

  • Is there anything about the man’s childhood that surprises you?
  • Do you think he was very popular with his professors at the university? Give reasons for your answer.
  • He later said that his time at the Swiss Patent Office was one of the most important periods of his life.
  • Why do you think he said this?
  • Do you think Einstein was crazy?
