IV. READING

ALBERT EINSTEIN (1879 - 1955)

Albert Einstein was born on March 14th, 1879 in Ulm, Germany. His interest in science began when

he was only five years old. But in school, he was not a very good student. Albert dropped out of

school at fifteen because he hated strict discipline and rote-learning.

When his family moved to Milan, Italy, Albert decided to study Physics at the Swiss Federal Institute

of Technology in Zrich, Switzerland. He failed the Institute's entrance exam, but after a year's study

at a school near Zrich, he passed and entered in 1896. He graduated in 1900. Then he became a

physics and mathematics tutor for two years.

In 1902, Einstein took a job in the Swiss Parent Office in Bern. The work was not very demanding, so

he had plenty of time to develop his theories that would later change science forever. In 1909,

Einstein finally left his job at the Patent Office and began his lifelong career in the academic world.

His genius had begun to be recognized, and by 1914 he was at the top of his profession as a member

of the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin. In 1921, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in

Physics.

In 1933, when Hitler came into power, Einstein moved to the U.S.A. He became a professor at the

Institute for Advanced Study and remained there until his death on April 18th, 1955. Albert Einstein

is remembered as the greatest scientist in the world.

X. READING

JAMES DEAN

James Dean had starred in only three films when he died, at the age of 24, in 1955: East of Eden,

Rebelwithout a Cause, and Giant. These threefilms, and his early death, made James Dean into

a hero for many hundreds of thousands of young people in the 1950s. Even now, he is still a star.

James Dean's mother died when he was nine years old, and his father sent him to live with his uncle

and aunt on their farm in the small town of Fairmont, Indiana. Dean started a theatre course, but

soon dropped out and set off for New York in search of work as an actor. For some time he got only

small parts in films and television plays (once he co-starred with Ronald Reagan). Soon he began to

receive large numbers of letters from fans - mainly young people - and eventually he was noticed by

the big film companies.


9/12

When he died, cinema audiences had seen only his first film, East of Eden. They liked him because he

seemed to be himself on the screen, and because he had the image of a playboy: he looked moody,

wore a T-shirt and jeans, and always had a cigarette at the corner of his mouth. And, of course, he

was good-looking in a wild kind of way - something like Elvis Presley. In his own life he seemed

rather pessimistic; he often said that he was going to die young. On September 30th 1955, on

Highway 466 in California, he was on his way to a big race in his new Porsche when he met his death

in an accident.
