Albert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879.He was a quiet child who spent much of his time alone.He was slow to talk and had difficulty learning to read.When Albert was five years old，his father gave him a compass.The child was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction--to the north.He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move.
   Albert did not like school.The German schools of that time were not pleasant.Students could not ask questions.Albert said he felt as if he were in prison.
   In 1905，Albert Einstein published some important papers in a German scientific magazine.They included one of the most important scientific documents in history.It explained what came to be called his "Special Theory of Relativity（相對論）" Ten years later he expanded it to a "General Theory of Relativity".
   In 1921，he won the Nobel Prize in Physics.It was given to him not for his theories of relativity，but for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect（光電效應(yīng)）.
   Albert Einstein deft Germany in 1933 He moved to the United States to continue his research.Einstein became a citizen of the United States in 1940.
   Einstein was a famous man，but you would not have known that by looking at him.His white hair was long and wild.He wore old clotjye.ais.He showed an inner joy when he was playing his violin or talking about his work.Students and friends said he had a way of explaining difficult ideas using images that were easy to understand.
   Einstein spent the last twenty-five years of his life working on what he called a "unified field theory".He hoped to find a common mathematical statement that could tie together all the different parts of physics.However，he did not succeed.
   Albert Einstein died in 1955 at the age of seventy-six.
