[00:01.47]Passage 9 Albert Einstein
[00:06.74]Now, listening to the passage.
[00:10.15]Albert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879.
[00:15.19]His father owned a factory that made electrical devices.
[00:19.52]His mother enjoyed music and books.
[00:23.22]His parents were Jewish but they did not observe many of the religion's rules.
[00:29.71]Albert was a quite child who spent much of his time alone.
[00:35.30]He was slow to talk and had difficulty learning to read.
[00:40.56]When Albert was five years old, his father gave him a compass.
[00:46.53]The child was filled with wonder when he discovered
[00:50.76]that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction--to the north.
[00:57.26]He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move.
[01:02.71]Their answers about magnetism and gravity were difficult for the boy to understand.
[01:10.82]Yet he spent a lot of time thinking about them.
[01:15.33]He said later that he felt something hidden had to be behind things.
