II/ READING COMPREHENSION: (1.5m)
Thomas Edison was born on February 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio. When he was at school, his teacher considered him to
be a slow student. Because of hearing problems, Edison had difficulty in following the lessons. His mother had been
a school teacher in Canada and happily took over the job of schooling her son. She encouraged and taught him to
read and experiment. He recalled later, “My mother was the making of me. She was so true, so sure of me”. With
only three months of formal education he became one of the greatest inventors and industrial leaders in history.
Edison applied for one of his inventions, the electric vote recorder in 1868 but his most famous invention was the
electric light bulb. He also invented the phonograph, and made improvements to the telegraph, telephone and motion
picture technology.
Edison had a special life. He married Mary Stilwell and they had three children. His wife died in 1884. On February
24, 1886, he married 19-year-old Mina Miller with three more children. He loved books, had excellent memory, and
always showed curiosity about science.
Although he had hearing problems, he refused to have an operation for his deafness. He said that silence helped him
concentrate. He always worked very hard and often had only four hours of sleep every day. He used to say, “Genius
was 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.” When he died on October 18, 1931, he was still working on
new ideas.
