Unit1Archimedes and the golden crown
One day in ancient Greece,King Hiero asked a crown maker to make him a golden crown.At first,he was very happy with it.
“It’s a nice crown,isn’t it?”he asked his men.Later,however,he began to doubt that it was a real golden crown.“Is it made completely of gold?”he wondered.He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out the truth.
“This problem seems difficult to solve.What should I do?”thought Archimedes.“
Archimedes was still thinking about this problem as he filled his bath with water.When he got into the bath,some water ran over.
“That’s it!”shouted Archimedes.“I know how to solve the king’s problem!”
Archimedes went straight to the palace to see the king.First,he weighed the crown and asked the king for some gold of the same weight.
Next,he put two pots into two big bowls and filled both pots with water.He put the gold into one pot and some water ran into the bowl. Then he put the crown into the other pot.This time,even more water ran into the bowl.
“Look at this,”said Archimedes to King Hiero.“A crown made completely of gold displaces less water than a crown made of gold and another metal.This crown displaced more water than gold of the same weight,so I’m certain that it’s not completely made of gold.”
“The crown maker tricked me,didn’t he?What a bad man he is!”shouted King Hiero.He then sent the crown maker to prison.

Unit2Two geniuses
Many people consider Albert Einstein(1879-1955)a genius.This story about him shows that he also had a sense of humour.
Einstein often received invitations to explain his theories at different universities.On these trips,his driver Hans often said to him.“It is a pleasure to drive a genius like you,Dr Einstein.”

“I know what to do,”said Hans.“I can give the lecture for you.You can trust me.I’ve listened to your lecture so many times that I’ve learnt it by heart.No one knows you at this university,so they won’t find out."
So,they changed places.At the university,Hans was guided to the front of the hall.Einstein took a seat,listened to Hans give his lecture without difficulty,and joined in the applause at the end.
However,before Hans left,a man shouted,“I’d like to ask you a question.”He then asked a question so difficult that Hans had no idea what he was talking about.
Einstein turned pale.“Oh no!”he thought.“Now we’re in trouble.”But Hans just laughed and said,”That’s such an easy question that even my driver can answer it.Hans,please…”
Einstein stood up and answered the question perfectly.
They left the university,with Einstein driving.A little later,Hans offered to drive.“No,”laughed Einstein.“It’s a pleasure to drive a genius like you Hans.”
