Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. Einstein had a great effect on science and history. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on-but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before. By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War. Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappy in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work. In the years following World War I honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Naziism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew. The main idea of the first paragraph is ______.
A. the time it will take people to appreciate Einstein
B. the change in human thought produced by Einstein
C. the feelings of an American college president
D. the difficulty of Einstein’s thought to teachers
