When Thomas Edison was 15, a train accident hurt his ears. Once when he tried to jump on a moving train, a conductor grabbed (抓) his ears to pull him up. He soon began to lose most of his hearing. His deafness (耳聋) could have been cured by an operation. But Edison didn't take the operation. He said being deaf helped him concentrate (专心).
“Deafness probably drove me to reading.” he said later in life. He was one of the first people to use the Detroit Free Library. His library card was number 33. He went through shelf by shelf, reading every book.
Edison enjoyed science books best of all. He read many kinds of science books. He realized (认识) his future would be in finding ways to make lives better, instead of just learning how things work.
