四、短文閱讀測驗(31~50題) Passage#1    Physicists jokingly call it the TOE—Theory of Everything. The idea is to describe all matter, allenergy, and the fundamental forces of nature in one clean, simple set of equations. But it is so difficultthat Einstein spent his last years in frustration trying to come up with just a partial solution to the problem.Yet physicists now think they are finally on the right track with something called superstring theory；many young theorists are eager to study the mathematics of superstring theories, convinced that it is thepath to ultimate truth. Their enthusiasm is largely the result of the work of Edward Witten, a professor atthe Institute for Advance Study at Princeton University. Witten did not invent superstring theory, whichsays that the basic building blocks of nature are not tiny particles but extremely small loops and pieces ofwhat resemble strings—except that the strings exist in a strange 10-dimensional universe. The currentversion of the superstring theory took place in the late 1960s, when Witten was still an undergraduatestudent at Barndeis. By the mid-1980s, however, when Witten began devoting his attention to superstrings,he was widely regarded as the most talented physicist in the world and perhaps the greatest who everlived.
