22.Talking about famous scientists,there are plenty of people I remember.As one of the biggest names in science,German physicist Albert Einstein(1879-1955)has changed the way we see the world(1)
his amazing discoveries. This year,his theory of relativity(相對論) celebrated its 105th anniversary(紀念日).Many scientists have tried to prove(證明) his theory(2)
,but they haven't been able to.So what is so special about his theory?Well,before the theory of relativity,everyone believed another the same for everyone,everywhere. Einstein proved this was not true.The(3)
of his experiments showed that under different circumstances(環境) the flow(流動) of time can change.Time is able to move slower or faster(4)
on different kinds of conditions.An example's(5)
one person is traveling at the speed of light and another person is standing still,the man moving at the speed of light will age slower than the(6)
standing still.This is because the condition of proving at the speed of light is changing the man's flow of time.This theory(7)
changed the way people viewed time and space. Einstein was well - known as a scientific genius(天才).His understanding of science and the world was better than many others.But(8)
his work,he had hobbies and a unique(獨特的) personality.One of Einstein's favorite hobbies was sailing(航海),and he could often be(9)
on a boat even though he couldn't swim.He also never wore socks.He said socks were(10)
and made him feel uncomfortable when they got holes.

in America?Why do the American Jewish people go to Chinese restaurants at Christmas time? In the early 1900s,Jews and Chinese were the two biggest immigration(移民入境) groups in America.They were also non-Christian(不信奉基督教的) groups.They did not celebrate Christmas.During the religious holidays and celebrations most of the restaurants were closed.The Chinese restaurants remained open,even on Sundays.They could do this(4)
it was not a religious time for them. Usually Jews eat kosher food.Kosher does not allow dairy products such as milk or cheese to be mixed with meat.Kosher also does not allow the eating of pork in any form.The Chinese traditionally do not use dairy products in their dishes.They do eat pork though,but it is cooked separately.So Chinese food is prepared in a similar way to Jewish food.The Jews could eat this,(5)
they stayed away from the pork dishes.They remained kosher by eating Chinese food. The Jews were happy to eat at the Chinese restaurants.They ate food they liked.They could get food that was prepared(6)
to jye.aiirs.The Chinese restaurants were open and the others were closed over Christmas time.The American Jews today have continued with this habit,and it has now become a tradition.They now enjoy chop suey(炒雜碎) and dumplings at the Chinese restaurants.Some say they enjoy this food(7)
their own traditional meals such as gefilte fish. Chinese food has become a big part of Jewish life in America.It is(8)
a time when Jewish people can remember their own faith.All the Christians celebrate their faith during Christmas time.The Jewish people in America are reminded by this,that they are not(9)
.They have their own faith to celebrate. In this way new traditions start.American Jews eating at Chinese restaurants on Christmas has a happy tradjye.aiion.It has also become a busy time for the Chinese restaurants,so they make more money.They(10)
and make it a very happy time of celebration for all.
