阅读理解     Every one of us knows that Albert Einstein was a world-famous scientist. Perhaps we don't know much about his life. Here are some amusing anecdotes about him.     When he arrived in New York to be a professor at Princeton University, Einstein was anxious to avoid visitors and newsmen. So his friends took him off the ship secretly before it docked (靠上码头) and hurried him away by car.     Einstein said that only twelve people at that time understood his Theory of Relativity (相对论), although more than nine hundred books had been written to explain it.     Mrs Einstein admitted that even she did not understand the Theory of Relativity, but she understood something far more important for a wife;she understood her husband.     She used to invite some friends in for tea and then she would ask her husband to come downstairs and join them. "No!" Einstein would say with anger. He simply couldn't stand those "interruptions (打扰)".     But Mrs Einstein persuaded her husband with great patience and had him drink tea with them and take a good rest.     Mrs Einstein said that her husband liked order in his thinking, but he didn't like it in his life. He did whatever he wanted to.     Einstein had only two rules of conduct (行为准则):one was "Don't be restrained (限制) by any rule", and the other was "Be independent from the opinions of others".     Einstein led a very simple life. When he went out, he was always in old clothes, and seldom did he wear a hat. He liked to whistle and sing in the bathroom.     He shaved with the same soap as he used for his bath. It seems strange that the great scientist trying to solve the mysteries of the universe should consider that using two pieces of soap made life too complicated.     Einstein said he was happy because he didn't want money or titles or foolish praises. He made his own happiness out of such simple things as playing the violin and sailing his boat.     Einstein's violin brought him more joy than anything else in his life. He said he often thought in music and made his day-dreams in music. （1） Albert Einstein was taken off the ship secretly by his friends because       .   A . he dared not see anyone B . he didn't want to meet visitors and reporters C . he wanted to save the time D . he was afraid of being stopped by someone （2） Usually Einstein would refuse to join some friends, for       .   A . he couldn't bear being disturbed B . he was ashamed to meet friends C . he disliked making friends D . he was angry with his friends （3） Why did he shave with the same soap as he used for his bath?
