Thomas Edison was born in 1847. When he was five, his father saw him sitting on some eggs, and asked what he was doing that for. He did not reply(回答). Instead he asked why he was not able to hatch(孵化)chickens while the hens could.
Edison liked asking a lot of strange questions. His teacher did not understand him and said that he was not bright and was not worth teaching. His mother took him out of school and taught him herself.
By the time he was ten, he had already built a small chemistry(化学) lab of his own. He planted vegetables in his garden and sold them.
Once his mother was ill. The doctor said she needed an operation at once. But it was the night and the oil lamp in the room gave off poor light. Edison thought hard and had an idea. He put all the oil lamps he could find on a long table. Then he placed a big mirror(镜子)behind them. The room became quite bright. So the doctor could operate, and his mother was saved. At the age of twelve, Edison began selling candies, sandwiches and newspapers on the train. One day in August, 1862, Edison saw a boy playing on the tracks at a station. A train was coming near quickly, and the boy was too frightened to move. Edison rushed out and carried the boy to safety. The boy's father was the station master. He was so thankful that he taught Edison railway telegraphy(电报通讯术). This gave him a start in his life.
On the first day in her new house，Mouse wrote a letter to her old friend.
|
Dear Vole, My house is very comfortable, but none of my new neighbors will be as good a friend as you are. Love, Mouse |
On the way to the post office, Mouse saw Beaver. He gave Mouse a big smile.
"Perhaps I should say hello, "thought Mouse." Beaver's teeth are so long and sharp（锋利的）. Beaver wouldn't make a good friend. Not like Vole, whose smile was kind." So Mouse left without saying hello.
After lunch, Mouse heard a knock on her door. Then she peeked（偷看）out the window. It was Squirrel.
"Perhaps I should invite her in for tea, "thought Mouse." But Squirrel talks a lot. Squirrel wouldn't make a good friend. Not like Vole, who always listened." So Mouse didn't open the door.
That night, Mouse looked at a picture of herself and Vole. She thought back to the first time she met Vole. She remembered feeling afraid-afraid of Vole's eyes and Vole's large size.
In fact, Vole had seemed so different that Mouse almost decided Vole wouldn't make a good friend.
Mouse realized something." I made a mistake!" she cried.
The next morning, Mouse made some cakes and put them in a basket.
She went to Beaver's house first, and next to Squirrel's house.
When Mouse returned home, she was smiling. She went to her desk and wrote a letter to Vole.
|
Dear Vole, Today, I visited my new neighbors. Beaver has strong teeth. He uses them to build homes. Squirrel knows lots of stories. She makes me laugh. I think Beaver and Squirrel will be my good friends like you are. Love, Mouse |
