The flood water rose in the street outside.They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread.They used more than 4，200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread.Although the water kept rising，they continued baking to help more people.By the time the owner managed to get to them，they had made so much bread，and then the owner took the bread to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.

The happiness of life
One day, a friend of Russell's came to see him.When he entered the door，Russell was looking at the garden outside the house，lost in thought. The friend asked him，“What are you thinking about？”“Whenever I talk to a great scientist, I am sure that there is no hope for my happiness in this life. But whenever I talk to my garden, I believe that life is full of sunshine.” Russell answered，smiling. The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions—a kiss，a smile，a kind look，or a heartfelt compliment.
Albert Einstein was born in Ulm，Germany in 1879.When he was a boy，he liked to ask questions.By the time he was fourteen years old，he had learned advanced mathematics all by himself.He wanted to be a physicist and devote himself to abstract(抽象的) research.
However，his family could not pay for the advanced education that young Albert needed.But his parents did manage to send him to a technical school.After graduation，he went to work.With the pay that he received，he was later able to go on with his education at the University of Zurich，where he received a doctor's degree in 1905.This was the period when he first began the research and studies which led to his famous “Theory of Relativity”．
Einstein cared little for money.He once refused to speak on the radio for $1，000 a minute.Another time he was seen using a check for $1，500 as a bookmark.Then he lost the book!
Besides his work in physics，he spent much time working for human rights and progress.
Like many scientists，Einstein loved music；he played the violin fairly well.In Princeton，he lived quietly，working at the institute and enjoying himself by playing his violin in his simple home.Often there were visitors like the twelve year old girl who，for a time，formed the habit of visiting him on her way home from school.After some time，the puzzled mother of the girl met Dr.Einstein and asked him what he and her daughter talked about.The doctor smiled and explained，“Oh，she brings me cookies，and I do her arithmetic(算术) homework for her.”
Such was Albert Einstein，a simple man of great achievements.
