Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history，and his achievement was even greater than what only a few other great scientists have achieved.An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook，a new view of the universe.It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity(识别)of time and space and so on－but even ordinary men now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.

By 1914 young Einstein had been world­famous.He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin.He had few duties，little teaching and unlimited chances for study，but soon his peace and quietness were broken by World War Ⅰ.

Einstein hated fighting and killing.The great suffering of war affected him deeply，and he sat unhappily in his office doing little.He lost interest in his research.Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.

In the year following World War Ⅰ honors were increasingly put on him.He became head of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Theoretical Physics.But he himself refused the effort to put him in a position far above other people.He was well known for his humble(谦逊的)manner.He often said that his success would certainly have been achieved by others if he had never lived.

In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize，and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism(纳粹)when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.

Leo Baekeland never gave up his dream of creating a special kind of plastic that would keep its form after it cooled.His invention was Bakelite，an inexpensive，widely used plastic.

Leo was born in Belgium into a lower，middle­class family.He studied at the University of Ghent in 1882 and eventually graduated with a doctorate in natural science at the age of 21.He taught there for several years before he travelled on a scholarship to the United States.Once in New York，Leo met Richard Anthony.Anthony saw potential in young Leo and offered him a job of working in America as a chemist for his company.Leo worked for Anthony for the next two years before unsuccessfully attempting to start his own consulting business.

After failing to see success in his own business operations，Leo decided to return to what he knew and he started producing a kind of photographic paper that would allow good pictures to be taken in artificial light.He did so well in the beginning that he started a company called Nepera Chemical Company while creating a special kind of paper called Velox.Within two years，Kodak Company bought the right to Leo's discovery for $1，000，000.Leo accepted and used the money to set up his own laboratory in his backyard in New York and lived a comfortable life.

Leo's next project was to come up with a hard yet moldable(可模压的)plastic.After much experimentation，Leo finally came up with a plastic and called it Bakelite.Its special feature was that at a high temperature and pressure，Bakelite can hold its form，even under great heat.Leo made his achievement public in February，1909.The invention of Bakelite marked the beginning of the Age of Plastics.

Whether we are listening to the radio，driving down the road，or drinking from our plastic bottles，we can thank a man who had the foresight and courage to pursue what he thought was possible.

Six Ways to Improve Reading Comprehension

Help your child keep what he reads－a crucial skill，especially as he gets older and needs to gain important information from textbooks.

Have him read aloud.This forces him to go slower，which gives him more time to process what he reads.__1__

Provide the right kinds of books.Make sure your child gets lots of practice－reading books that aren't too hard.__2__Stopping any more often than that to figure out a word makes it tough for him to focus on the overall meaning of the story.

__3__To gain meaning from text，your child needs to read quickly and smoothly－a skill known as fluency.Rereading familiar，simple books gives your child practice at decoding(解读)words quickly so he'll become more fluent.

Talk to the teacher.If your child is struggling hard with comprehension，he may need more help with his reading－for example，building his vocabulary or practising phonic skills.

Supplement class reading.If his class is studying a particular theme，look for easy­to­read books or magazines on the topic.Some prior knowledge will make his way through tougher classroom texts.

Talk about what he's reading.This“verbal processing”helps him remember and think through the themes of the book.__4__For example：

●Before：“What interests you in this book？What doesn't？”

●During：“__5__Is it turning out the way you thought it would？”

●After：“Can you summarize the book？What did you like about it？”

A．What's going on in the book?

B．Ask questions before，during，and after a reading session.

C．Reread to build fluency.

D．He should recognize at least 90 percent of the words without any help.

E．Plus，he's not only seeing the words，he's hearing them，too.

F．Look up new words in the dictionary.

G．Do you know all the characters in the story?
