1905年，当时一位年轻的瑞士职员——阿尔伯特•爱因斯坦在德国的物理学杂志《物理学年鉴》发表了一系列论文。其中三篇"称得上是物理学史上最伟大的作品"——一篇使用普朗克刚刚提出的量子理论审视光电效应（为作者赢得了一个诺贝尔奖）。一篇论述悬浮小粒子的状况（即现在所谓的布朗运动），一篇概述了狭义相对论——完全改变了世界。其中爱因斯坦的诺贝尔奖等了19年才到，不过纵观历史他还不是最惨的，历史纪录是54年，由于诺奖不在死后追授，因此获得该奖的秘诀之一还要包括长寿（哪怕老年痴呆了也行）~~~

书本的朗读语音很charming的磁性英音~~~大家可以好好学着模仿哦~~~！！
因为原著为美国人所写,单词采用美式拼法,不抄全文，也不用写序号。答完一空换行继续下一空作答。文中需听写单词或词组用[-No-]表示，句子用[---No---]表示。请边听写边理解文意，根据下面的TIPS训练听写。这样可以提高听力准确度，并为训练听译打下基础哦~~~

TIPS听写训练点：单词拼写，时态，单复数，连读，长难句（请边听边用符号先记下内容，然后自己回头组织语句，最后校对，不要逐字逐句听写）

But the landmark event—the dawn of a new age—came in 1905, when there appeared in the German physics journal Annalen der Physik a series of papers by a young Swiss bureaucrat [-1-] , where he was employed as a technical examiner third class. (An application to [-2-] technical examiner second class had recently been [-3-] .)

His name was Albert Einstein, and in that one [-4-] year he [-5-] Annalen der Physik five papers, of which three, according to C. P. Snow, "were among the greatest in the history of physics"—one examining the photoelectric effect by means of Planck's new quantum theory, one on the behavior of small particles in suspension (what is known as Brownian motion), and one [-6-] a special theory of relativity.

The first won its author a Nobel Prize and explained the nature of light ([-7-]). Einstein was honored, somewhat vaguely, "for services to theoretical physics." He had to wait 19 years, till 1921, to receive the award, quite a long time, all things considered, [---8---], or the German Ernst Ruska, who invented the electron microscope in 1932 and received his Nobel Prize in 1986, more than half a century after the fact. [---9---] The second paper provided proof that atoms do indeed exist—a fact that had, surprisingly, been in some dispute. The third merely changed the world.



who had no university affiliation, no access to a laboratory, and the regular use of no library greater than that of the national patent office in Bern be promoted to rejected eventful submitted to outlining and also helped to make television possible, among other things but nothing at all compared with Frederick Reines, who detected the neutrino in 1957 but wasn't honored with a Nobel until 1995, 38 years later Since Nobel Prizes are never awarded posthumously, longevity can be as important a factor as ingenuity for prizewinners.
但是，划时代意义的事件--一个新时代的黎明--要到1905年才发生。当时，德国的物理学杂志《物理学年鉴》发表了一系列论文，作者是一位年轻的瑞士职员。他没有上过大学，没有用过实验室，通常跑的也只是伯尔尼国家专利局的小小图书馆。他是专利局的三级技术审查员。（他申请提升为二级审查员，但遭到了拒绝。） 　　他的名字叫阿尔伯特•爱因斯坦。在那个重要的一年，他向《物理学年鉴》递交了五篇论文，用C.P.斯诺的话来说，其中三篇"称得上是物理学史上最伟大的作品"--一篇使用普朗克刚刚提出的量子理论审视光电效应，一篇论述悬浮小粒子的状况（即现在所谓的布朗运动），一篇概述了狭义相对论。 　　第一篇解释了光的性质（还促使许多事情成为可能，其中包括电视），为作者赢得了一个诺贝尔奖。第二篇提供了证据，证明原子确实存在--令人吃惊的是，这个事实过去一直存在一些争议。第三篇完全改变了世界。
