Read the following article and answer the question. Article: A new genius in physics like Einstein will emerge , scientists say. But it may take a long time .After, more than 200 yeas separated Einstein from his nearest rival , Isaac Newton. Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn't been yet, or is a baby now.       And researchers say there are many factors working against another Einstein emerging anytime soon. For one thing, physics is a much different field today. In Einstein's day, there were only a few thousand physicists worldwide, and the theoreticians who could intellectually rival Einstein probably would fit into a streetcar with seats to spare. Education is different, too. One essential aspect of Einstein's training that is overlooked is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager--Kant, Schopenhauer and Spinoza, among others, It taught him how to think independently and abstractly about space and time. Einstein was also an accomplished musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would furiously play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem. Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren't many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical and rewarding efforts.       "Maybe there is an Einstein out there today," said Columbia University physicist Brian Greene, "but it would be a lot harder for him to be heard." Especially considering what Einstein was promoting. "The actual structure of space and time bending? My God, what an idea!" Greene said at a recent gathering at the Aspen Institute. "It takes a certain type of person who will knock his head against the wall because you believe you'll find the solution." Perhaps the best examples are the five scientific papers Einstein wrote in his "miracle year" of 1905. These" thought experiments" were pages of calculations signed and submitted to the prestigious   journal Annalen der Physik by an unknown.What might happen to such a submission today? "We all get... Question: The writer mentioned Newton in the text to   _  . Answer:

Answer: explain why there won't be a new Einstein soon


Read the following article and answer the question. Article: When someone says, "Well, I guess I'll have to go to face the music," it doesn't mean he is planning to go to a concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you did not do this or that. Terrible music, indeed, but it has to be faced. At some time or another, every one of us has had to "face the music", especially as children. We can remember father's angry voice: "I want to talk to you!" And only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was! The phrase "face the music" is known to every American, old and young. It is at least one hundred years old. Where did the expression come from? The first explanation came from the American novelist James Fenimore Cooper. He said, in 1851, that expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings   to go on stage. After they got their clue  to go on , they often said, "It's time to go to face the music." And that is exactly what they did face the orchestra   which was just below the stage. An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience  that might be friendly, or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his . But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So "face the music" came to mean: having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice. Question: Which of the following is NOT true? Answer:

Answer: The expression has a history of 100 years.


Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Made from the hide   of bushy-haired animals, fur is known as the first material used for clothing.It was used by early humans like the hominoids   to keep warm during the winter season or when they traveled to cooler regions.Traditionally, animals were hunted down to produce fur coats.At present though, some animals like the mink   and the fox are bred and farmed for their fur.Now, wearing fur is considered a luxury because of its price and availability.      Fur coats are produced and used all over the world especially in cooler countries like Russia and Northern Europe.These are usually made from the fur of bigger animals like bears, wolves and foxes which are hunted down for their meat and hide.Because of this, several of their species have become endangereD.Yet, until now, there has been no law passed to regulate the fur industry.That's why Animal rights groups, including stars, continue to campaign against fur clothing including fur coat manufacturing.     Dennis Rodman is the first man, and the first sports star, to do a photo shoot for PETA's "Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" series.     During the Fashion Week of NYC in 2005, Rodman came not to sit in the front row at a show, but to unveil his provocative (, ) new PETA advertisement.In the very tents where designers were pushing fur.In PETA's advertisement, Rodman appears nude   --- except for his tattoos --- alongside the caption ( ), " Think Ink, Not Mink," and urges :" Be comfortable in your own skin and let animals keep theirs."     Rodman watched Pamela Anderson's three-minute video showing how animals live and die before being made into fur coats."If you actually look at the video firsthand, it gives you a different perspective on animals and how they're treateD.It's  _ to see what they go through," he saiD. Question: By quoting the example of Dennis Rodman, the author intends to show that   _   . Answer:

Answer: More and more stars have taken part in the campaign against fur clothing.


Read the following article and answer the question. Article: You and your friends are settling into your seats. The new Spider-Man movie is about to start and you've got the snacks: soda and popcorn. Food is part of what makes the movies fun. Just as the lights go out, you catch a slight smell of ... tuna fish?! You turn your head, searching for the source. Then you spot him: A couple rows back, some guy is enjoying a tuna fish sandwich. How'd he get that in here? You wonder. Then you remember how much you paid for your snacks. What invites the unwelcome outside food is probably the price. Why pay $ 5 for a bag of M&Ms when you can get them for a dollar at the corner store? Earlier this year, a Michigan man decided to fight for his right to snack. Joshua Thompson is using his local theater after it banned outside food. He argues the ban breaks a Michigan law that prevents businesses from charging extremely high prices. However, most legal experts believe Thompson has little chance of winning his case, though he does have a point: 85 cents out of a dollar of treats a movie theater sells is pure profit . The truth is that movie theaters are more in the snack business than the movie business. A huge part of the ticket income goes to the Hollywood studio. This makes sense, since the studios have to pay the costs of movie production and advertising. But that often doesn't leave much cash for the theater, which also has its own running costs. If customers stopped buying food, owners would have to raise ticket prices even higher. Of course, there's another reason to think twice before bringing food into the movies: It's against the rules. Breaking those rules can have unpleasant consequences too. Some theaters will kick you out if they catch you. Even without the threat of punishment, we should follow rules all the time------out of respect. Here's a good idea: Eat before the movie. Question: How does the author feel about bringing outside food into the cinema? Answer:

Answer:
