People often said Thomas Edison was the greatest genius(天才) of his age. There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such a thing as genius,” Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work. But Edison was a thinker as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them. Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure. Edison could not understand why anyone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what idea he had about life. “Work,” he answered, “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work. 小题1:What is genius according to Thomas Edison? A．Hard thinking. B．Hard work. C．Useful ideas. D．Useful inventions. 小题2:How did Edison always deal with the secrets of nature after exploring them? A．To write down what he had learned. B．To carry out a new experiment. C．To make them useful in life. D．To share them with others. 小题3:What does the last sentence in the passage mean? A．Edison was born to be a great inventor. B．Edison was able to live another 100 years. C．Edison was ready to make his 100th invention. D．Life was too short for Edison to work for human beings.

If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack,he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search...I was a sorry witness of such doings,knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor.”

_____ is know___ __ Thomas Edison invented the electric light.
请注意是know 不是known A.As ; that B.Which ; that C.It ; / D.It ; that 3Q Very much!

初三任务型阅读
Can you imagine what Edison's life was like in the years after he had invented the electric lamp?Many things had to be invented and built before the electric lamp could really be used by all.Everythings that was needed had to be thought of and built by Edison and the men who worked with him.There was no place where they could buy the things they needed.Edison made 360 inventions more in order to send electric power to wherever it was wanted.
Edison directed all the work himself:testing new machines,pulling wries underground,fixing lights,and so on ,He seemed to be everywhere at the same time.He wanted his men to do as much work as he did.But he never asked them to do things that he himself would not do or could not do.
He had never thought much about regular hours for sleep.He often forgot completely about sleeping.He spept for a few minutes at time,in the middle of the night ,in an underground room at his power station,with a metal box as his bed.During these days,he almost never saw his wife and children.
Everyone probably expected that Edison enjoyed his success when his work was completed.However,he did not notice at all the money and honour he received,because soon he hecame interested in order ideas

Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents on inventions than any other American.When he died in 1931,Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him.One suggestion was that the nation observed a minute or two of total blackout.All electric power would be shut off in homes,streets and factories.
Perhaps this suggestion made Americans realize fully what Edison and his inventions meant to them.Electric power was too important to the country.Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion.A blackout was out of the question.
On the day of Edison’s funeral,many people silently dimmed their lights.In this way they honored the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen’s fingertips.

英语翻译
Thomas Edison was a giant among inventors.He patented (取得专利权） over 1,000 inventions,including the record player,moving pictures and the first practical electric bulb.Largely home taught,Edison only went to school for three months.But at 17 he invented the telegraph system（系统）.This allowed four dot-dash messages to be sent down a wire at the same time,speeding up telegraph service greatly.
Though he made great achievements,he still worked up to 20 hours a day.In 1879,he discovered that if electric current（电流）is passed through 8 thin threads of carbon （碳） in a glass vacuum（真空）,it becomes white hot,giving off a brilliant light.Then ,for use of this electric bulb,he developed a complete electrical distribution system（配电系统).In 1880,he formed the Edison Electric Light Company.In 1882,he built the Pearl Street Plant,and New York became the first city lit by electricity.
