    Thomas Edison was g great American scientist. He was born in Ohio(俄亥俄州)in 1847.

    When he was at school, he asked his teachers a lot of questions.Some of his questions were easy, others were difficult. And he did   not stop doing so. His teachers often said he was not a good student.They did not like him and they did not want to answer any more   questions. So Edison had to leave school after only three months.

    After this, Edison's mother taught him at home. The boy was soon reading all kinds of books.

    When he was about ten, he was already doing science work. He planted tomatoes and other things. So he got some money to buy the   needed things for his work.

    When he was twelve, he began to work on the train. He tried his best to read a lot of science books when he was free. He taught   himself maths, physics and other subjects. He studied all the time.

  He wished he could do his best to find new ways out to make our world   much happier.

    Edison made many, many new things. People all over the world will always remember him. Can you tell me what he made for us?

     Mr and Mrs Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey (新泽西) in the past, staying
in a small inn (旅店) at the foot of a hill.   
     One year, however, Mr Smith made a lot of money in his business, so they decided to go to London and
stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around that famous city.   
     They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They had expected that they would have
to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals were served after seven. They were
surprised when the waiter asked whether they would take dinner there that night. "Are you still serving dinner?"
asked Mr Smith. "Yes, certainly, sir," answered the waiter. "We serve it until half past nine."   
     "What are the times of meals then?" asked Mr Smith. "Well, sir," answered the waiter. "We serve breakfast
from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon, tea from four to
five, and dinner from six to half past nine."   
     "But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London." said Mr Smith.
