People often said Thomas Edison was the greatest of his age. There are only a few men in all of
his 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(天才)."There
is no such thing as genius," Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.
But Edison was a dreamer 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 thinking,
especially if they don't think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment
and pleasure.
Edison could not understand why someone 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.

Dear Leis, I read in my magazine that you are looking for a pen pal, so I'm writing to say hello. My name's Alice Nichols and I'm 16. I live in Hania in Greece, but my family comes from England. Hania is a beautiful old town near the island of Crete. In summer the town is full of tourists. I'm a student at a private school. I've been at the same school for five years now, so I know it very well. Most of the time I like going to school, but there are some things I can't stand doing-like PE. I enjoy playing sports, but I don't like doing exercises! My favorite subjects are geography and English. I often go to the beach in my free time. I love just sitting around and talking to friends. I'm getting better at understanding boys, but I hate listening to hours of talk about football. It's just so boring! What's life like in your town? I'd love to hear all about your family and friends. Have you got an e-mail address? It's easier to keep in touch that way. I am looking forward to hearing from you! Best wishes! Alice |
