附加说明

托玛斯爱迪生于1847年2月11日出生在俄亥俄州米兰市。在他刚刚会说话不久,他就开始问每一个他认识的人有关事情来龙去脉的问题。当爱迪生长大些了以后,他喜欢读书。不久家里就没有什麽再让他读的了。于是他的父亲介绍他去图书馆。爱迪生从书架底层的最后一本书开始,浏览或认真读图书馆里的每一本书。爱迪生通过自己的全部阅读得出结论:人不应将自己的信仰建筑在别人写的东西上,要亲自证明事物的真相。因而他接受了这样的观点:独创的想法是最好的。他的许多发明包括灯泡、留声机、录音电话机、蜡纸油印机和最早的无声电影。他于1931年10月18日逝世于新泽西州,享年84岁。

要求学生猜测生词和表达法的含义:inventor, try out, pupil, build, at the age of, track, frighten, rush, rush out, safety, telegraph, open up, lifetime.

可以给出下列词汇的简单英语释义:

inventor=someone who makes something that has never been made

try out=to try something to see if it works

frighten 是个动词,意思是“to make someone feel afraid”.

rush=to do something quickly

open up 在此处意为“to start as in a business or a lab”.

Lifetime=the period of time during which a person is alive
