Part A Reading Aloud
In 1939, on the eve of the Second World War, Albert Einstein wrote a letter to the American President. The letter was about an application of Einstein’s famous equation, E equals MC squared and his fear that the Nazis could use it to build an atomic bomb. E equals MC squared is the symbol of Einstein’s genius. It’s an equation that sums up one of the most powerful truths about the universe. It combines two ideas, which until Einstein came along, no one had ever dreamed could be connected in such a powerful way. The idea of mass and the idea of energy. 103 英音

A Black Cloud
After leaving a village, Tom was driving to London. A strange noise made him stop. He got out and examined the car carefully, but he found nothing wrong. So he started driving again. The noise became louder and louder. Tom looked back quickly and saw a great black cloud following the car. When he stopped by a farm, a farmer told him that a queen bee must be hidden in his car, because there were thousands of bees following him. Tom drove away as quickly as he could. He thought it would be the best way to escape.
| After one hour’s hard driving, he arrived in London. He parked his car outside a hotel and went in to have a drink. Several minutes later, he finished his drink and went out. He was surprised to find that his car was covered with bees. Then he called the police and explained what had happened. The police called a beekeeper. In a short time, the beekeeper arrived. He found the queen bee near the wheel at the back of the car. Finally the beekeeper put the queen bee and the other bees in a large box and took them home. |
