Albert Einstein
Complete the following passage using the words from the word-bank below. Each word can only be
used once. When complete, ensure passage makes sense!!!!
Albert Einstein is a very ____________________ mathematician and physicist. He is famous for his
theories of special and general relativity. He determined that the laws of physics are the same for all
observers, and he showed that the _____________________ of light within a vacuum is the same no
matter the speed at which the observer travels.
He is probably best known for formulating the equation E=mc². In this equation, E stands for energy;
m stands for mass; and c stands for the speed of light (approx. 300,000,000 metres per second). The
equation (mass–energy equivalence) states that anything having mass has an equivalent amount
of energy and ________________________.
Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany, in 1879. The following year this family moved to Munich where
his father and uncle set up a small but not very __________________ electrical business. Albert was
not a child genius but claims that he did poorly at school are exaggerated. In 1894 his father’s
business failed and the family moved to Milan. His parents decided he should stay behind in Munich
to finish school. However, Albert did not like the school’s ____________________ rules and within a
few months he left to join his family in Italy. He completed his education in Zurich, graduating from
the prestigious Federal Polytechnical School (ETH) in 1900. He married Mileva Maric in 1903 and
they had a daughter and two sons; their marriage was dissolved in 1919 and in the same year he
married his cousin, Elsa Löwenthal, who died in 1936.
His argumentative nature and dislike of ______________________ did not endear him to the
professors at the ETH. None of them offered him the position of research assistant, which was the
normal route to an academic career. Two years later he finally managed to get a junior job at the
Swiss patent office in Bern. It was while he held this job in 1905 he wrote three papers that
__________________________ him as one of the world’s leading scientists. His work changed our
understanding of time, space, and reality itself.
Einstein did not like the politics of 1930’s Europe and in 1933 he _______________________ to
America to take the position of Professor of Theoretical Physics at Princeton. He became a United
States ________________________ in 1940 and retired from his post in 1945. Einstein’s biggest
regret is that his research paved the way for the development of nuclear weapons. He died on April
18, 1955 at Princeton, New Jersey.

The Highwayman –
Three-Part Comprehension
PART ONE
I
THE wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding—
Riding—riding—
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.
II
He'd a French cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin,
A coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin;
They fitted with never a wrinkle: his boots were up to the thigh!
And he rode with a jewelled twinkle,
His pistol butts a-twinkle,
His rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky.
III
Over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark inn-yard,
And he tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred;
He whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord's black-eyed daughter,
Bess, the landlord's daughter,
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.
IV
And dark in the dark old inn-yard a stable-wicket creaked
Where Tim the ostler listened; his face was white and peaked;
His eyes were hollows of madness, his hair like mouldy hay,
But he loved the landlord's daughter,
The landlord's red-lipped daughter,
Dumb as a dog he listened, and he heard the robber say—
V
“One kiss, my bonny sweetheart, I'm after a prize to-night,
But I shall be back with the yellow gold before the morning light;
Yet, if they press me sharply, and harry me through the day,
Then look for me by moonlight,
Watch for me by moonlight,
I'll come to thee by moonlight, though hell should bar the way.”
VI
He rose upright in the stirrups; he scarce could reach her hand,
But she loosened her hair i' the casement! His face burnt like a brand
As the black cascade of perfume came tumbling over his breast;
And he kissed its waves in the moonlight,
(Oh, sweet, black waves in the moonlight!)
Then he tugged at his rein in the moonlight, and galloped away to the West.

Question Type I
In each question you need to find the number that will complete the
calculation correctly.
Video Link - https://youtu.be/GEz_CIGYaRo
For example
8 + 2 = 6 + ? (answer = 4) – both sides of the equation need to have
the same answer (a balanced equation)
The trickiest of these questions will require you to follow BIDMAS
rules – a special acronym – telling you the correct calculation order
you need to follow when solving equations.
BRACKETS,
INDICES (square or cubed etc)
DIVISION/MULTIPLICATION –
ADDITION/SUBTRACTION.
Try these questions – Work each little bit out separately – making
jottings as you go – don’t try and keep all of the mental calculations
in your head – it’s very easy to get confused.
1. 42 + 6 = 54 - ? =
2. 93 x 7 = 545 + ? =
4. 6 x 4 + 13 – 2 = 9 x 2 + 6 + ? =
