SECTION A: READING (20 marks) Read the passage carefully: Great Minds: Albert Einstein 1. You would probably recognise Albert Einstein from his photos. Yes, he was the guy with the crazy hair! But he also had some great ideas. He was more than just a scientist. He was a genius who changed our lives. He made some of science’s biggest discoveries. He also developed some important theories. ‘Some of these theories may seem complicated. But they concern everybody. 2. Science is everywhere and affects us every day. Einstein’s discoveries made things like television, DVD players, and garage door openers possible. Einstein was born in Germany in 1879. When he was five years old, his dad gave him a compass. It became his favourite toy. He would stare at the needle of the compass as it moved. It seemed like magic at first. Einstein wanted to Q.

It cam make objects stick together or move away. Einstein also leamed a lot about science and electronics because of his dad. His dad owned an electronics company. It was no surprise that Einstein ended up loving Math and Science. He started performing experiments at a very young age. Einstein performed extremely well in school. He quickly advanced to higher level Math and Science topics, and his teachers were impressed by his grasp of college-level Physics concepts by the time he was eleven. When he was young, he met a Polish medical student named Max Talmud. Talmud became his tutor. He showed Einstein a children’s textbook about Science. Einstein became curious about light and other things. Einstein later attended school in Switzerland. He made many friendships. He also met his future wife, Mileva Maric. She was a Serbian Physics student. Einstein received his doctorate in 1905. That same year, he published many important scientific papers. After that, Einstein became a professor in Germany. But times were tough back then. Hitler and his Nazi party started a war against Jewish people. Einstein was a Jew. So he decided to leave and go to the United States. That was in 1933. And it’s a good thing he did. The world needed him to be free and pursue his passions. Einstein made many other discoveries. For example, he figured out that light is made up of many little particles called photons. He called this the quantum theory of light. At that time, some other scientists did not agree with this theory. But later, it was proven. This was an important discovery. It led to many inventions such as television. Here’s one more example of an important discovery Einstein made. Along with scientist Satyendra Bose, he discovered a new state of matter. Regular states of matter are gas, liquid, and solid. Einstein and Bose found another one. They named it the Bose-Einstein Condensate. Today, it’s used in cool things like lasers. Einstein’s work was and is valuable to the world. This is one of the reasons he eventually won the Nobel Prize in Physics. The Nobel Prize is a very famous award given to someone who has done outstanding work in different subjects like science or medicine. Einstein died in 1955. He was later named “Person of the Century” by the TIME Magazine. 2.
