B Read the article about the great self-taught scientist Albert Einstein. Write a T if a sentence is true, an F if it is false or an NM if it is not mentioned.
Albert Einstein: a great self-learner
Most people know about Albert Einstein and his important scientific discoveries. His ideas helped change the world. But did you know that Einstein was a great self-learner? From a young age, Einstein was eager to explore new ideas on his own. Throughout his life, his love of learning helped him become one of the most influential scientists in history.
Einstein didn’t start speaking until he was about three years old, and he didn’t speak in full sentences until he was five. At school, many teachers couldn’t see his talents, and they didn’t think he was a special student. But they were wrong!
From a very young age, Einstein was curious about the world around him. He read books on many different subjects. In this way, he taught himself maths, science and more. Luckily, he had the support of his family. His parents often gave him textbooks in advance. His uncle also gave him maths puzzles to solve. By the time he finished high school, Einstein already had interesting ideas about time and space.
As Einstein grew older, he continued to learn on his own. He performed his own scientific experiments and explored new ideas. He never got tired of asking questions and working hard to find the answers.
Einstein’s learning journey shows that curiosity and hard work can lead to greatness. His story continues to inspire people to explore, to ask questions and never to stop learning.

答案：译文：
阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦：一位伟大的自学者
大多数人都了解阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦以及他重要的科学发现。他的思想帮助改变了世界。但你知道爱因斯坦是一位伟大的自学者吗？从很小的时候起，爱因斯坦就渴望独自探索新思想。在他的一生中，他对学习的热爱帮助他成为历史上最有影响力的科学家之一。
爱因斯坦直到大约三岁才开始说话，直到五岁才会说完整的句子。在学校里，许多老师看不到他的天赋，他们认为他不是一个特别的学生。但他们错了！
从很小的时候起，爱因斯坦就对他周围的世界感到好奇。他阅读了许多不同学科的书籍。通过这种方式，他自学了数学、科学等知识。幸运的是，他得到了家人的支持。他的父母经常提前给他教科书。他的叔叔也给他数学难题去解决。到他高中毕业时，爱因斯坦已经有了关于时间和空间的有趣想法。
随着爱因斯坦年龄的增长，他继续自学。他自己做科学实验，探索新思想。他从不厌倦提问，并不懈努力寻找答案。
爱因斯坦的学习历程表明，好奇心和勤奋可以造就伟大。他的故事继续激励人们去探索、去提问，并且永不停止学习。
解析：
1. 答案：F
句意：爱因斯坦在五岁时说出了他的第一个词。
解析：根据第二段第一句“Einstein didn’t start speaking until he was about three years old（爱因斯坦直到大约三岁的时候才开始开口说话。）”，可知爱因斯坦大约三岁开始说话，不是五岁说第一个词，所以该表述错误。
2. 答案：F
句意：老师们很早就注意到了爱因斯坦的天赋。
解析：根据第二段第二句“At school, many teachers couldn’t see his talents（在学校里，许多老师都没有发现他的才能。）”，可知老师们没早发现他的天赋，所以该表述错误。
3. 答案：NM
句意：爱因斯坦的叔叔是一位有天赋的科学家。
解析：文中第三段只提到“His uncle also gave him maths puzzles to solve（他的叔叔还给他出了些数学题让他去解答。）”，没提及叔叔是否是有天赋的科学家，所以该表述未提及。
4. 答案：T
句意：爱因斯坦自己做科学实验。
解析：根据第四段第二句“He performed his own scientific experiments（他亲自进行了自己的科学实验。）”，可知爱因斯坦自己做科学实验，所以该表述正确。
5. 答案：T
句意：爱因斯坦对学习的兴趣持续了一生。
解析：结合第一段“Throughout his life, his love of learning helped him become one of the most influential scientists in history（在他的一生中，他对知识的热爱使他成为了历史上最具影响力的科学家之一。）”以及第四段“As Einstein grew older, he continued to learn on his own（随着爱因斯坦年龄的增长，他继续自学。）”等内容，可知他对学习的兴趣持续一生，所以该表述正确。
