小题1: the train　

1. 文章讲的是发明家George Stephenson，故第一空填的人名George Stephenson。
2. 本题填的时间。根据He had to start work when he was only eight可知他8岁工作，他1781年出生加8年就是1789年。
3. 根据He spent a lot of time learning about engines可知他花了大量的时间在发动机上，故填learning about engines。
4. 根据On his eighteenth birthday, he wrote his own name for the first time in his life可知18岁时（即1799年）他能写自己的名字，考虑到could是情态动词，故后面用原形，答案为：write his own name。
5. 根据George invented many things in his life. The train was the greatest one among them可知里面包括了火车，故为:the train。
