18．愛因斯坦How much do you know about Albert Einstein？
Albert Einstein，born on March 14，1879in Germany，was a great scientist in th world．He was strange because he hated haircuts and new clothes．He believed in peace．All his life，he hated war．However，his most famous idea，E=mc2，helped create the world's most dangerous weapon（武器）．Many people think he was the smartest person in the world．But Einstein said that he thought like a child with many questions and unusual ideas．
What did he like？
Einstein liked learning sailing（帆船運動）．He sailed in small boats all his life．He once joked，"Sailing is the sport tht takes the least energy！"
When Einstein was a child，his mother made him take violin lessons．At first，he didn't like the violin．But then he learned to love music and became a good violinist．Later，he said，"Love is the best teacher．"
Why is the sky blue？
In 1910，Einstein asked a question which many children often ask，"Why is the sky blue？"After his careful research，he answered the question like this："It's because light is made up of many colors including blue．When light travels to Earth，gas particles（氣體微粒）spread the blue light all over the sky．"His answer is true in physics．

17．For Iris Grace Halmshaw，the world was a lonely place．The autistic （自閉癥的） five-year-old girl tried to speak，and she was often thrown into pain by the world around her．She filled her days with painting，and nothing could quite change this situation．Until，that was，a cat called Thula came along．
The pair are now inseparable （形影不離的）．Iris'parents believe the gentle cat is helping their little girl communicate with others，as well as influencing her works of art．In the beginning，they thought it was just coincidence，but now they believe Iris is expressing her love for Thula through her painting．Mother said，"When Iris is painting，Thula is told by her to"sit down"if she jumps up onto the table．She stays there，watching Iris with great interest，sometimes wanting to play with the brushes，but mostly just patiently watching．"
And the pair's bond （聯(lián)系） doesn't end there．Thula is at Iris'side for every part of her life．The pair's closeness is having an effect on Iris'relationships with others，and her parents find it easier to encourage her to talk to others．After researching the advantages of animal therapy for autistic children，the couple had tried introducing Iris to horses，dogs and even other cats with no success---but things changed when Thula came to live with the family．During weeks，the cat was helping to comfort the little girl in times of stress．
Mother said，"It was as if they were old friends from the day they met．Thanks to Thula，new doorways to communication and feelings are opening and Iris is happier than ever before．"
