PAGE  PAGE 7 Unit 1 Great scientists Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2017·河南省六市联考)Did you know that Albert Einstein could not speak until he was four years old，and could not read until he was seven？His parents and teachers worried about his mental ability. Beethovens music teacher said about him，“As a composer (作曲家) he is hopeless.” What if this young boy had believed it? When Thomas Edison was a young boy，his teachers said he was so stupid that he could never learn anything.He once said，“I remember I used to never be able to get along at school.I was always at the foot of my class...My father thought I was stupid，and I almost decided that I was a stupid person.”What if young Thomas had believed what they said about him? When the sculptor (雕刻家) Auguste Rodin was young，he had difficulty learning to read and write.Today，we may say he had a learning disability.His father said of him，“I have an idiot (白痴) for a son.” His uncle agreed.“Hes uneducable，” he said.What if Rodin had doubted his ability? Walt Disney was once fired by a newspaper editor because he was thought to have no “good ideas”．Enrico Caruso was told by one music teacher，“You cant sing.You have no voice at all.” And an editor told Louisa May Alcott that she was unable to write anything that would have popular appeal. What if these people had listened and become discouraged？Where would our world be without the music of Beethoven，the art of Rodin or the ideas of Albert Einstein and Walt Disney？As Oscar Levant once said，“Its not what you are but what you dont become that hurts.” You have great potential.When you believe in all you can be，rather than all you cannot become，you will find your place on earth. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章列举了爱因斯坦、贝多芬、爱迪生等七个名人成功的故事，他们都曾得到别人较低的评价，但最终成功实现了自己的梦想；“相信自己”是他们成功的关键。 1．How many successful people are mentioned as examples in the passage?
