In 1921 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics.When

17、Hitler came to power， Einstein left Germany and went to live and work in the USA. He died in 1955.Step 5 Summary and homeworkT: Today we learned some facts about some famous scientists and some names of scientific studies. Then we read some facts about Stephen Hawking， a famous disabled scientist an

18、d some facts about the famous scientist Albert Einstein. And practice writing. Homework today is to write short passage about a famous scientist. Hand it in today. Thats all for today. Good-bye， everyone.Qian Xuesen Qian Xuesen is one of the pioneers of Chinas space science. A world-famous expert on

19、 aerospace rockets and aerodynamics， Qian has obtained great attainments in the areas of applied mechanics，engineering cybernetics and system engineering and made distinguished contributions to the foundation and development of Chinese aerospace undertaking. He plays a leading role in the research，

20、manufacture and testing of carrier rockets， guided missiles and satellites. Due to research and development led by Qian， China successfully exploded its first atom bomb in 1964， launched its first man-made satellite in 1970， fired its first transcontinental ballistic missile toward the Pacific in 19

21、80， and launched its first manned spacecraft on Oct.15， 2003.In 1955， six years later after the founding of New China， Qian Xuesen returned to the motherland. In 1956， Qian put forward “Proposal on the Development of Chinas Aviation Industry for National Defense” and assisted Zhou Enlai， the then pr

22、emiere， and Marshal Nie Rongzheng to prepare the establishment of Chinas first missile and rocket R&D structure， the Fifth Research Institute of State Ministry of Defense. In the October of 1956， Qian assumed office of director-general with the fifth research institute. Henceforth， Qian has long bee

23、n in charge of the chief technological officer with the R&D of Chinas missile， rocket and spacecraft， and has contributed great to the establishment and development of Chinas missile， rocket and spacecraft undertakings.Marie CurieMarie Curie，Polish scientist，was born in Warsaw，on November 7th，1867，a

24、nd died in France，on 4th July 1934.Her single name was Maria Sklodowska. In Paris，Marie graduated in Mathematical and Physical Sciences. She got married in 1895 with the French physicist，Pierre Curie. In 1896，H. Becquerel suggested the theme of her Ph.D. thesis the study of natural radiation from ur

25、anium salts. During her work，the Curie couple discovered a new radioactive element named polonium in honor to Maries homeland. A few months later，they were able to discover radium for the first time. Together with Becquerel，she obtained the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903.She founded the Radium Inst

26、itute of Paris，and was the main responsible until her death. In 1911 she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.Albert EinsteinAlbert Einstein was born in Ulm，Germany，in 1879.His father owned a factory that made electrical devices. His mother enjoyed music and books. His parents were Jewish but t

27、hey did not observe many of the religions rules. As a child he always loved mathematics，and he had his idea of the theory of relativity when he was only 16 years old. He published his special theory of relativity in 1905.In 1915，he expanded it to a “General Theory of Relativity.” He changed the way

28、we understand the universe.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. This scientific law explained how and why some metals give off electrons after light falls on their surfaces. The

29、 discovery led to the development of modern electronics，including radio and television. Albert Einstein taught in Switzerland and Germany. He left Germany when Adolph Hitler came to power in 1933.He moved to the United States to continue his research. He worked at the Institute for Advanced Study in

30、 Princeton，New Jersey. Einstein became a citizen of the United States in Nineteen-Forty. Albert Einstein opposed wars. Yet he wrote to President Franklin Roosevelt in 1939 to advise him that the United States should develop an atomic bomb before Germany did. Albert Einstein died in Nineteen-Fifty-Fi

He was seventy-six years old.Archimedes阿基米德(Archimedes约公元前287前212)是古希腊著名的数学家和物理学家。静力学和流体静力学的奠基人。公元前287年诞生于地中海西西里岛的叙拉古城(今意大利锡拉库萨)。他的父亲是古希腊天文学家和数学家。阿基米德从小深受父亲的影响，偏爱数学，很早就学习希腊著名数学家欧几里得(约前330前275)的几何学原理。11岁的时候，阿基米德去当时著名的文化中心尼罗河畔的亚历山大城学习。学习期间对数学、力学和天文学有浓厚的兴趣。在他学习天文学时，发明了用水力推动的星球仪，并用它模拟太阳、行星和月亮的运行及表演日

32、食和月食现象。为解决用尼罗河水灌溉土地的难题，他发明了圆筒状的螺旋扬水器，后人称它为”阿基米德螺旋”。公元前240年，他学成后回到叙拉古，当了国王亥厄洛的顾问，帮助国王解决生产实践、军事技术和日常生活中的各种科学技术问题。公元前212年，叙拉古城失陷，正在聚精会神地研究科学问题的阿基米德，不幸被蛮横的罗马士兵杀害。袁隆平袁隆平Yuan Longping(1930.9.7)出生于北平，1953年毕业于西南农学院。1964年开始研究杂交水稻，1973年实现三系配套，1974年育成第一个杂交水稻强优组合南优2号，1975年研制成功杂交水稻制种技术，从而为大面积推广杂交水稻奠定了基础。1985年提出杂交水稻育种的战略设想，为杂交水稻的进一步发展指明了方向。1987年任863计划两系杂交稻专题的责任专家，1995年研制成功两系杂交水稻，1997年提出超级杂交稻育种技术路线，2000年实现了农业部制定的中国超级稻育种的第一期目标，2004年提前一年实现了超级稻第二期目标。1995年当选为中国工程院院士。先后获得”国家特等发明奖”“首届最高科学技术奖”等多项国内奖项和联合国”科学奖”“沃尔夫奖”“世界粮食奖”等11项国际大奖。出版中、英文专著6部，发表论文60余篇。
