When his family moved to Milan, Italy, Albert decided to study Physics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland. He failed the Institute’s entrance exam, but after a year’s study at a school near Zurich, he passed and entered in 1896. He graduated in 1900. Then he became a private physics and maths tutor for two years. In 1902, Albert took a job in the Swiss Parent Office in Bern. The work was not very demanding, so he had plenty of time to develop his theories that would later change science forever. In 1909, Albert finally left his job at the Patent Office and began his lifelong career in the academic world. His genius had begun to be recognized, and by 1914 he was at the top of his profession as a member of the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin. In 1921 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 1933, when Hiler came into power, Albert moved to the U.S.A.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. CAMPING Camping holidays are always popular with students and young people – they are a cheap and easy way to see a country. People often travel by train, by coach or on foot, so one thing is important to remember before starting: you can only take with you what you can carry – usually in a rucksack on your back. If you travel with a friend, of course some items can be shared – a tent, a gas stove, food. Other things must be taken by each person – clothes, footwear, a sleeping bag. So you must be sure of how much you can carry. Most people find 10 kg about right. Much more than that and you need another holiday when you get home! And remember when the weather is wet your rucksack is heavier. 12
