试题这篇短文简要介绍了著名发明家爱迪生的生平,他因为发明了电灯,从而改变了人们的生活。并且短文详细描述了爱迪生的人格特点。

An American in Beijing Lives His Chinese Dream
Wearing his bright red armband(袖章) and speaking fluent Mandarin(普通话), 62-year-old Terry could be taken for any regular Chinese man from a distance.
His Chinese name is Gao Tianrui. He became interested in Chinese culture as a teenager when he read the Tao Te Ching by Laozi. At 18, he took a ship to Taiwan to learn Chinese. On the ship the captain suggested that he should have a Chinese name. “He named me Gao Tianrui, based on the pronunciation (发音)of my English name,” he said. Then he first visited Beijing in 1987 on business.
Gao Tianrui lives in a Siheyuan with other three families. His neighbors are very helpful and friendly. Gao Tianrui once wasn't familiar with Chinese living habits and his neighbors helped him to overcome difficulties. Gradually, he could speak Chinese fluently.
Having lived in Beijing for more than 20 years, Gao Tianrui has also finally achieved his Chinese dream: becoming a public security(安全) volunteer. Life as a“ Xicheng Dama” has even made him an online celebrity. Xicheng Dama is a club for volunteers, usually women in late middle-age, who roam(漫步) the streets of downtown at Beijing's Xicheng district. And now Gao Tianrui has joined their club.
“I like helping others," he said. "I live in the Siheyuan and my neighbors and I usually help each other…This is where I live, where my friends are and where I call home.”
