Passage One
When Thomas Edison was born in the small town
of Milan, Ohio, in 1847,
America was just beginning its great industrial development.
In his lifetime of eighty-four years,
Edison shared the excitement
of America’s growth into a modern nation.
The time in which he lived was an age of invention,
filled with human and scientific adventures,
and Edison became the hero of that age.
As a boy, Edison was not a good student.
His parents took him out of school
and his mother taught him at home,
where his great curiosity and desire to experiment
often got him into trouble.
When he was six,
he set fire to his father’s barn “to see what would happen.”
When he was ten,
Edison built his own chemistry laboratory.
He sold sandwiches and newspapers on the trains
in order to earn money to buy supplies for his laboratory.
His parents became accustomed,
more or less,
to his experiments and the explosions
which sometimes shook the house.
Edison’s work as a sales boy
with the railroad introduced him
to the telegraph and he built his own telegraph set.
Six years later, in 1869,
Edison arrived in New York City,
poor and in debt.
He went to work with a telegraph company.
It was there that he became interested in
the uses of electricity.
From then on,
he started his amazing life
as the greatest inventor ever.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage
you have just heard.
26. What happened to American during the middle 19th century?
27. Which statement on Edison’s childhood is true
according to the passage?
28. For what purpose did he sell sandwiches
and newspapers on the trains?
29. When did he start his amazing life
as the greatest inventor?
