One day, Wilson was walking quietly along the road when someone hit him hard on the back of his neck. He looked behind him, and saw a young man whom he had never seen before.

“How dare you hit me like that?” shouted Wilson.

The young man said he had mistaken Wilson for a friend of his and that he thought Wilson was making a lot of noise about nothing.

This insult(侮辱) made Wilson even angrier, of course, and he at once decided to bring the young man before a judge.

Now , the judge who heard the case was a friend of the young man’s father’s, and, although he pretended to be quite fair, he was thinking about what he could do to protect the young man from being punished while at the same time not to be appearing unfair.

Finally he said to Wilson, “I understand your feelings in this matter very well. Would you be satisfied if I let you hit the young man as he hit you?”

Wilson said he would not be. The young man had insulted him and should be properly punished.

“Well, then,” said the judge to the young man, “I order you to pay ten coins to Wilson.”

Ten coins was very little for such a crime, but the young man did not have it with him, so the judge allowed him to go and get it.

Something very strange and mysterious was going on in Sesemann’s house. Every morning, when the servants went downstairs, they found the front door wide open. During the first few days that this happened, every room and corner was searched in great alarm to see if anything had been stolen, but not a thing in the house had been touched. The door was doubly locked at night, and for further security the wooden bar was fastened across it; but it was no good – next morning the door again stood open. One servant even claimed he had seen a white figure standing at the top of the steps and then all in a minute it disappeared.

Mr. Sesemann told his old friend, a doctor, what had happened in his house. That evening they decided to wait for the ghost. One o'clock struck. There was not a sound. Suddenly the doctor lifted his finger. “Hush! Don't you hear something?” They both listened, and they distinctly heard the bar softly pushed aside and then the key turned in the lock and the door opened. They stepped into the hall.

“Who is there?” thundered the doctor in a voice that echoed through the hall, as the two men advanced with lights and weapons towards the figure. It turned and gave a low cry. There stood Heidi, with bare feet, staring with wild eyes and trembling from head to foot. The two men looked at one another in surprise. “Child, why did you come down here?” said Sesemann. White with terror, and hardly able to make her voice heard, Heidi answered, “I don't know.” The doctor gently took the child by the hand upstairs.

Then the doctor sat down besides her and asked her some questions in a kind voice. Later he went downstairs. “Sesemann,” he said, “let me first tell you that the child is a sleep-walker; Secondly, the child is consumed with homesickness. Something must be done at once.”

1.The door in Sesemann’s house was doubly locked at night in order to ___________.

A. know what the strange and mysterious things are going on

Einstein, a great scientist of the age, was almost as strange as his Theory of Relativity.

Once, while riding a street car in Berlin, he told the conductor that he had not given him the right change. The conductor counted the change again and found it to be correct, so he handed it to Einstein, saying, “The trouble with you is that you don’t know your figures.”

Einstein said that there were only twelve people living who understood his Theory of Relativity although a good many books had been written to explain it.

He had nothing but contempt（藐视）for the things most people set their hearts on—for fame and riches（财富）and luxury（奢华）.

He didn’t want money or praise. He made his own happiness out of such simple things as his work and playing the violin and sailing his boat. Einstein’s violin brought him more joy than anything else in life. He said that he often thought in music.

1. The conductor thought Einstein 　　　 .

A. wasn’t good at maths　　　　 B. had good memory

C. was either mad or strange D. liked to make trouble

2. Einstein meant that many people 　　　 .
