How to write a good biography introducing someone you admire
翻译：艾尔伯特·爱因斯坦，也许是现代物理学中最伟大的科学家之一，常被认为是有史以来最聪明的人之一。他为世界做出了许多贡献，其中最著名的是广义相对论。爱因斯坦曾在瑞士专利局担任职员的工作。在那里工作时，出于对知识的强烈热情，他继续学习，不仅于1905年获得了物理学博士学位，而且在那一年，被他发表了四篇非凡的物理学论文。尽管他是一个天才，有时他会忘记一些事情，比如他朋友的生日。但尽管他的怪癖，他深受他的朋友和邻居的喜爱。1955年4月18日，有报道称爱因斯坦已经离世，整个世界为失去一位杰出的科学家而哀悼。
Albert Einstein, who is perhaps the greatest scientist in modern physics, is often considered one of the smartest men who ever lived. He made numerous contributions to the world, the most well-known being the general theory of relativity. Einstein once took a job as a clerk in the Swiss patent office. While working there, out of a strong passion for knowledge, he continued to study, not only earning a doctorate in physics in 1905 but also publishing four extraordinary physics papers in the same year.
Genius as he was, he sometimes forgot things, like his friends’ birthdays. Despite his peculiarities, he was loved by his friends and neighbors. On 18 April 1955, it was reported that Einstein had passed away, and the whole world mourned the great loss of a brilliant scientist.

亲爱的汤姆，
我写这封信是想介绍一位著名的科学家，阿尔伯特 · 爱因斯坦，他是我最钦佩的人。
阿尔伯特 · 爱因斯坦，也许是现代物理学界最伟大的科学家，经常被认为是最聪明的人之一。他于1879年3月14日出生在德国，留着浓密的胡子和长长的白发。在多次被拒绝之后，他努力考上了大学，终于在1896年获得了成功。1922年，他因对光电现象的解释获得了1921年的诺贝尔物理学奖。
对公众来说，他是公认的天才。在我看来，他是一个值得我们钦佩和学习的人。
你的，
李华
Dear Tom，
I’m writing to introduce a famous scientist, Albert Einstein, who I admire most.
Albert Einstein, perhaps the greatest scientist in modern physics, is often considered one of the smartest men. He was born in Germany on 14 March 1879, who had a thick moustache and long white hair. After being refused several times, he made great efforts to enter university and finally succeeded in 1896. In 1922, he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric.
To the public, he is acknowledged as a genius. In my opinion, he is a person who we should admire and learn from.
Yours,
Li Hua

1. Apart from his remarkable achievements, what does the passage tell us about Einstein’s life
Though he was brilliant, he was also a person who faced struggles, for example, when he failed to pass his university entrance exam, when he failed to get a good job, and when he had to flee Germany.
I am impressed most by how friendly and easy he was to approach. Even when he was busy and did not want to be bothered, he still found a way to deal with people in gentleness and good humour.

When people talk about sacrifice and charity
for others, the name that most often comes up
in my mind is Mother Teresa. In fact, she is so
famous for her work that her name is most often used nowadays as a point of comparison by which others are judged (for example, “He may do some good work, but he's no Mother Teresa"). Interestingly, though her name is still heard quite often, many younger people have no clear idea who she was.
Mother Teresa's real name is Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. She was born on 26 August 1910 in Skopje, where is now the modern-day Republic of Macedonia. When she was a young girl, she decided that she wanted to help poor people in India, so when she was 18, she left home and eventually made her way to Darjeeling, India. She formally became a nun in 1931, and took “Teresa’ as her new name. In the beginning, she was just a teacher of other nuns. However, in 1946 she felt stirred to help the poorest of the poor in Calcutta (modern-day Kolkata). She began to work full-time there in 1948 and was allowed to form her own charity group in 1950. In time, her group grew to thousands of members, helping orphans, refugees, the disabled, the most ill, and the poorest people around the world.
However, Mother Teresa is most famous for her Home of the Dying and the Destitute in Calcutta. This work began when she found a poor man dying alone in the street of Calcutta, and decided that she had to do something to help, as nothing could be worse than dying alone in the streets. Workers for the Home of the Dying and the Destitute would find dying people in the streets, and bring them to the centre, where they would be cared for, fed, and loved until their final moments.
For her work, Mother Teresa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. When she died on 5 September 1997, she was given a state funeral by the government of India, which was attended by more than 15,000 people and broadcast around the world on TV, with many world leaders singing praises to her.
People who met Mother Teresa often remarked at how small she was — she was only 152 cm tall. She was also very quiet and gentle in the way she behaved. This all proves that even the smallest or gentlest people can still do great and mighty things.
