Einsteinthoughtthethingsinsideapersonweremoreimportantthantheappearance.【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）D【解析】【分析】文章大意：世界著名科学家爱因斯坦成名前后都穿着随意，面对人们的劝说，他的回答发人深思。他认为：一个人内在的品质要比外表更重要。我们应该让精神的骨架站起来，才能立于不败之地。（1）细节理解题。由文中语句AlbertEinstein，oneofthegreatestscientistsintheworld可知，爱因斯坦是一位伟大的科学家。故选C。（2）推理判断题。根据第一段最后

Someoneremindedhimheshouldhaveadecent(得体的)coatsoastoenterthesociety.“有人提醒他为了融入社会他应该有一件得体的外套”；第二段语句

Hesaid,"I'munknown.EvenifIwearmorehandsomely,noonewillknowme."爱因斯坦回答“我没有名气。即便我穿得更英俊漂亮，也没有人会认识我。”由此推断，爱因斯坦没有听从别人劝告，依然穿着很随意，故选B。（3）推理判断题。阅读短文第四段可知，爱因斯坦在柏林大学工作时，穿着运动衫和凉鞋去学校，朋友们不赞同时，他说“如果袋子比里面的肉好，那将是一件坏事。”这里爱因斯坦将袋子和肉分别比作人的外在和内在，故选D。【点评】考查阅读理解。本文考查细节题和推理判断等常考题型，推理判断题要注意从文中抓住关键词寻找答案；主旨题需要通读全文，了解大意之后找出正确选项。6．阅读理解
