8.Once,Einstein gave a lecture in a university.After his speech,the audience started asking questions.
A girl asked,"Do you think you're (26)A giant of science?"
Einstein said (27)C a smile,"A giant is a person who is tall in height.You see I'm so small,how can I be a giant?Maybe I see a bit farther,only (28)B I stand higher!"
Then a boy asked,"You mentioned you stand higher than (29)D.It reminds me that you had a talk with a lady on the top of the Alps.I don't want to ask (30)A you talked,but I want to know whether you realized you have been a top in the history of science when you stood on the top."
Looking at the boy (31)D,Einstein replied,"Well,(32)A height cannot become a top.And there is no top that no one can get to,so we don't want to be a top,but we want to be a person to climb the top!"
Then he took up a piece of chalk and (33)B on the blackboard,"Standing on the top,you are not tall,but even smaller!"
Then he said,"Though I stand tall,in the eyes of the world I'm still small!Finally,I can tell you a sentence,which was the last one I told the lady on the top of the Alps,‘Any top can (34)D,for there is no giant in the world but the one (35)A stands higher!'"
A storm of applause sounded.The lady who listened to Einstein's instruction on the Alps that year was no other than Madam Curie!
