He has performed prodi-gious labors. By all the theories of physiogn
12、omy, he should be a granite-visaged Norse god of the Hindenburg type, instead of looking like a poet or musician. On theoretical grounds, he should have an iron will, instead of being pliant, docile, compromising. The explanation seems to be that Ein-stein, unlike most men of achievement, has never
13、had to coerce or harden himself. His work was an exalted revel and his whole scientific life was a perpetual carnival, to judge from a speech of his at a dinner in Berlin in honor of the physicist, Max Planck. A preceding speaker had talked of the ago-nizing toil and superhuman will required of a gr
14、eat scientist. Einstein demurred. This daily striving, he said, is dictated by no principle or program, but arises from immediate personal need.The emotional condition which renders possible such achievements is like that of the religious devo-tee or the lover. On another occasion, Einstein describe
15、d the impulse to grapple with his problems as a demoniac possession, needing no stimulation from conscious effort of the will. Einsteins own theory about himself must be correct; nothing else could account for his irresistible energy in his own regions of thought and his lamblike helplessness in ord
16、inary contacts. To catalogue a few of his lost wars of everyday life:For a time he refused to play the violin for charity because of his modest estimate of his own a-bility, and because he thought it unfair to professionals; under pressure, however, he gave many recitals. He declined a deluxe cabin
17、on a trip to America because of his scruples against luxury, but accepted when informed that he was hurting the feelings of the steamship line. On his trip to India,he refused to travel in a rickshaw because he thought it degrading to use a human being as a draught animal; he reconsidered, however,
18、on the ground that rickshaw boys must live, and patronized them extensively. Hating fuss and feathers, he has been induced to make triumphal progresses on four continents. He has compared mass newspaper interviews to being bitten by wolves and to being hanged, but nevertheless he is frequently gang-
19、interviewed.This easy yielding to pressure would lead another man to cheapen himself, but Einstein is saved by his aesthetic sense and his unworldliness. He could not do anything sordid. He doesnt want any-thing; there is nothing about the man for temptation to work on. When he received the Nobel Pr
20、ize in 1921, he gave it to charity. When a magazine offered him an amazing sum for an article, he reject-ed it contemptuously. What? he exclaimed. Do they think I am a prizefighter? But he finally wrote the article after arguing the magazine into cutting the price in half. It is said that he decline
21、d his present post at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton on the ground that the salary was preposterously munificent, and was persuaded to accept only by the promise of an enormous pay cut.He objected to gifts, but his 1930 trip to this country netted him five violins and other valuable b
22、ooty. His backbone stiffened, however, when an admirer sought to press on him a Guarnerius val-ued at $33,000; this he firmly refused, saying that he was not enough of a musician to do justice to the instrument. Probably no man has been more plagued than Einstein by offers of money for testi-monials
23、 for toothpaste, pimple-eradicators, corn plasters, and cigarettes. He brushed all this aside as corruption and would have no compromise. Einstein regards money as something to give away; in1927, he was aiding one hundred and fifty poor families in Berlin.21. What has led to Einstein s great achieve

27、 t think he was a musician.D. He felt he couldn t make the best of it.请阅读Passage 2,完成第26-30小题。Passage 2If you want something done, the saying goes, give it to a busy person. It is an odd way to guarantee hitting deadlines. But a paper recently published in the Journal of Consumer Research suggests i
28、t may, in fact, be true-as long as the busy person conceptualises the deadline in the right way.Yanping Tu of the University of Chicago and Dilip Soman of the University of Toronto exam-ined how individuals go about both thinking about and completing tasks. Previous studies have shown that such acti
29、vity progresses through four distinct phases: pre-decision, post-decision (but pre-action), action and review. It is thought that what motivates the shift from the decision-making stages to the doing-something stage is a change in mindset.Human beings are a deliberative sort, weighing the pros and cons of future actions and remain-ing open to other ideas and influences. However, once a decision is taken, the mind becomes moreimplemental and focuses on the task at hand. The mindset towards where can I get a sand-wich , explains Ms Tu, is more implemental than the
