Isaac Newton was born in 1643, three months after his father’s death. He was very small because he had been born prematurely. When Newton was three years old his mother remarried and went to live with her new husband. Newton was left in the care of his mother’s parents. Newton was not very happy with his mother’s choice to remarry. Despite his early childhood problems, Newton grew up to become one of the greatest scientists of all time. In his day he was respected both in England and in Europe. Some people even think that Newton had a greater influence on science than Albert Einstein. Newton was highly intelligent. He did research in mathematics, physics, astronomy, alchemy and theology. He did even greater work in physics, mathematics and astronomy.

Newton proved that white light was made up of many different colors. He used a prism(棱镜) to split white light into many colors like the rainbow. Then using a lens(透镜) and a prism he combined the colors back into white light. Eventually the mystery(神秘) of the rainbow in the sky became clear. Water droplets in the atmosphere act as prisms and split the white light of the sun to form a rainbow.

Newton’s law of motion(运动) and his research on gravity(地心引力) have contributed greatly to the study of astronomy, mathematics and physics. Sitting in his orchard(果园) one day, Newton saw an apple falling down from a tree. He wondered why the apple could not fall upwards. He concluded that

there must be a force that pulled all objects to the ground. He called this force gravity. He also argued that the moon was being pulled towards the earth by the same force that pulled the apple to the ground, saying that gravity helps to keep the moon circling the earth. Without the earth’s gravity the moon would just sail away into space. Newton’s research on gravity is very important today in space science.

Newton did not use his talent only in science. He was appointed(被任命) head of the Royal Mint(铸币), which is responsible for producing coins in Britain. At that time there were a lot of counterfeit(伪造) coins in the country and Newton worked hard to fight against the counterfeiters. 1. Why was Isaac Newton so small as a baby?

A. He was born prematurely. B. He was always sad. C. His father died before he was born.

D. His mother remarried when he was still very young. 2. Which of these statements is true about Newton? A. His mother remarried because he was too small. B. He was the greatest scientist of all time. C. He was only a physicist.

D. He was respected by the people of his time. 3. How did Newton discover the idea of gravity? A. He watched the moon. B. An apple hit him. C. He saw an apple falling.

D. The moon almost flew away into outer space.

4. How did people come to understand the origin of the rainbow’s colors? A. The colors were hidden in white light. B. Newton split the white light into colors. C. Newton created the rainbow.

D. Newton’s work on gravity explained how rainbows were formed. 5. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. He was a scientist and an administrator. B. His mother stayed single all her life. C. Newton was a counterfeiter.
