     February 11th is the birthday of the most famous American inventor, Thomas Alva Edison.
Edison was born in 1847. He was not a good student when he was a young boy. His teacher said
he was one of the most dumb headed(笨头笨脑的)students. He did badly in many subjects and
left school after only three months. So his mother took him home and taught him herself. Edison
didn't like school at all, but he loved science. He liked to ask questions.
     One day his father found him sitting on some eggs. His father asked him why. The boy didn't
answer. He asked his father instead, "Why can't I hatch(孵化)chickens, but hens can?"

  Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, U. S. A., is in the central part of the state, on the Santa Fe River, which flows into the Rio Grande 35 kilometers west of the city. More than two thousand meters above sea level, it lies in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains with the Ortiz Mountains to the southeast.

  Santa Fe was founded in 1609 by the Spanish on an old Indian village. In 1680 the Indians seized the place but only held it for twelve years before the Spanish retook it. The city remained under Spanish rule until Mexico won its independence in 1821. From then on it was a Mexican city until 1846 when it was taken over by American troops.

  With a population of 48 953, Santa Fe is now the second largest city in the state. Because of its sunny weather, rich history and surrounding mountains, it is a good place for holiday makers. Besides hunting and skating in the mountains people enjoy shopping in the Indian and Spanish shops, which brings a large income to the city every year. In summer there is an international opera season when operas are shown in a partly-roofed, open-air theatre daily for people from all over the world.
