1. One day, the teacher was annoyed by him. He went to Edison's mother and said, "your child is so strange. He always asks me why two plus two equals four.". As a result, it is difficult to carry out classroom teaching. If it infects other children, it will be even worse. I can't teach him. You can do something else. Edison's mother understood her children. She brought the children home and taught them in person

In this way, Edison mastered more knowledge than the children in school through hard self-study. In order to make a living and earn some money to do experiments, Edison began to sell newspapers. Leave at six in the morning and go home at nine thirty in the evening. In his spare time, he would go to the library, read books and think about problems. The library, located in Detroit, was Edison's terminus for selling newspapers by train

One day, Edison was absorbed in his book when a gentleman came up to him: & quot; I often meet my husband here. How many books have you read& quot;& quot; Well, I've read fifteen feet& quot; Edison looked at the eccentric gentleman and replied seriously& quot; Ha ha ha ha;, The gentleman laughed, a little to Edison's surprise

After a while, the gentleman got serious again: & quot; Oh, fifteen feet. It's admirable. Do you have any definite purpose when you read? According to my observation, the books you read in the past are different from those you read today. Did you read them casually& quot; Little Edison's eyes flashed bright& quot; no I read it in order, and I made up my mind

read all the books in this library& quot; At the end of these confident words, Edison looked straight at the gentleman, looking forward to his critical - no, commendatory words. Unexpectedly, the gentleman said: & quot; Ah! You have to read all the books in this library. Thank you! However, your reading method is a waste of energy. The economic and effective way of reading is

we should have a certain purpose first, and then choose books to read. From now on, you have to make a policy and a plan. With a policy and a plan, you can go step by step& quot; Words, like a ray of sunshine through the heart, shot into Edison's thirst for knowledge. He firmly remembered the gentleman's advice and began to study more consciously and in a more planned way

When developing and improving a part of the typewriter, he borrowed all the books about the typewriter, read them systematically, and solved the problem quickly. In the days when he invented electric light, he often went into the library to read the relevant articles in various magazines, books and newspapers, and then excerpted some paragraphs as needed

As we all know, Edison asked "teacher, why is one plus one two?" The teacher said, "Edison, if you take a pencil and add a pencil, it will become two pencils."“ But teacher, take the water from two cups and put it in another cup. The water is concentrated in one cup. How can one plus one be two

The teacher didn't know how to answer“ Teacher, two pieces of mud stick together to form one. Why is one plus one two? Maybe one plus one is one. " At this time, the teacher was angry: "what a nuisance! Think about it yourself So the teacher went on with the class. Edison raised his hand again. "What's the matter, Edison?" The teacher pressed down the anger and asked“ Teacher, why is it windy? "

"teacher, why do eggs hatch chickens?" The teacher said, "that's because the hen warmed the eggs."“ Teacher, why can you hatch chickens by heating eggs? " Edison asked a lot of why, what "why can't fish drown?"“ Why is the sky blue. And so on why let the teacher finally unbearable

scolded him severely: "what a nuisance, asshole, be honest and learn your arithmetic! Are you a fool? It's no use reading like you. Edison went home crying. After listening to her son's story, the mother took Edison's hand to the school to find the teacher, and asked the teacher: do you think my son is a fool, and reading is for nothing? The teacher was speechless

"I see. My son has my own ecation. Don't bother the teacher. Goodbye." She took her son's hand and went home. As she walked, Nancy thought, "teacher Engel forced the child to write down the textbook completely. The son was disgusted, and the two were at a deadlock. I don't force him, I want to enjoy the happiness of thinking with him

memorize the content of the textbook, go to hell! It's useless to memorize textbooks when you grow up. Aren't living textbooks everywhere? " Nancy secretly vowed: "to try for her son, never lose to other children's ecation.". From then on, the family ecation of Edison began

One snowy night, Edison's mother suddenly fell ill, and his father rushed to the doctor. The doctor said, "your mother has acute appendicitis and needs an operation." At that time, there was only oil lamp, but no electric lamp. The light of the oil lamp was very dark, and it would be wrong if you were not careful. Edison suddenly thought of a good way, he took out all the oil lamps at home

put a mirror behind the oil lamp, so that the doctor can finish the operation smoothly. The doctor said, "son, you saved your mother with your wisdom and cleverness." Edison took his mother's hand and said, "Mom, I want to make a night's sun

Once he saw the hen incubating, he asked his mother curiously, "why does the hen lie on the egg and don't move? Are you sick? " His mother told him that this is the incubation of chickens. After a few days, baby chickens will come out of the eggshell. " After listening to his mother's words, Edison felt very strange. He thought that when a hen lay on an egg, she could hatch a chicken. How did an egg become a chicken

Can you lie on it? He decided to have a try. Edison took some eggs from home and found a secluded place in his neighbor's house. He first built a nest, spread soft grass on the bottom, then laid the eggs, and then squatted on the top. He wanted to see with his own eyes how the eggs hatched into chickens. It's getting dark, and Edison hasn't come home yet. The family are very anxious, so they look for him everywhere

After looking around, I found Edison in my neighbor's backyard. I saw him sitting on a grass nest, motionless, with a lot of grass on his body and head. When the family saw him, they were angry and funny. They asked him, "what are you doing here?"“ I'm hatching eggs here! The chicks are about to hatch“ What are you hatching? Come out quickly Dad yelled

"hens can hatch. I want to see how to hatch chickens."“ No, no! Go home Dad yelled again. But his mother did not blame and make fun of him, because she knew the child's character and said with a smile: "the temperature of a person is not as high as that of a chicken. You can't hatch like this." Although Edison didn't hatch chickens, he increased his knowledge through this hatching activity

Edison, known as the "king of invention", made nearly 2000 inventions in his life. This is inseparable from his diligent study. He often studies all night and looks up information. He is so sleepy that he uses books as pillows and lies in the laboratory for a while. Therefore, some people said wittily, "no wonder Edison has so much knowledge. It turns out that he has to absorb nutrition from books in his sleep."

6. Thomas Alva Edison is a world-famous American electrician and inventor. Looking at human history, we can find that there are many people who have made various inventions or discoveries in the history of science and technology. However, like Thomas Alva Edison, there are so many inventions, and few of them have devoted their lives to inventions with their long life of 84 years old. Because of this, around this gifted inventor, enthusiastic people have a little legendary description of him. What's more, they try to "invent" something new in his past history. So, what are the characteristics of the times in Edison's biography? What environment did he grow up in? What are the characteristics of his youth<

inquisitive child

a biographer once said: "the more a great thinker, the more obvious the characteristics of the times are in his biography, and the more naturally his biography becomes history."

we know that "the 18th century is the era of rationality, the 19th century is the era of science, and the 20th century is the era of science's completely transformative intervention in all aspects of human material, intellectual, emotional and aesthetic life."

Thomas Alva Edison was born in the age of science. He was born on February 11, 1847. Edison's life is intertwined with the process of American modernization. This is a period of rapid development of technological forces in the United States of America and Europe. The booming American economy needs to widely use advanced science and technology to further develop proctivity. Edison is a great inventor in this scientific era. Someone commented on the greatest inventor in the United States: "although Edison did not invent history, his invention added icing on the cake to history."

Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, a small town in the Midwest of the United States. At that time, Milan was a famous wheat distribution center. Wheat from Northeastern Ohio is transported to the Great Lakes, which is a must pass, as well as the exit of the rich Lake Huron. One company extended the voyage several kilometers from the mouth of the river, and the rest was used to dig a canal that could carry 250 ton ships. This place is known as "Odessa of the west" because it is an export of grain. Therefore, the shipbuilding instry is also very developed, making the town very prosperous

some legends about the family of America's greatest inventor are as follows: the Edison family was destitute. In fact, this is not in line with historical facts. Henry Ford, the great auto king of the United States, wrote: "the Aldrich family is not really poor. In other words, they are always well-off and well-off. It's ridiculous to say that Edison was born in abject poverty. "

al's ancestors were Dutch. He moved to America from Amsterdam in 1728<

because John Edison, Al's grandfather, was on the side of the British King's army in the American War of independence, and soon the British army was defeated, John had to take his family and hide in Nova Scotia, Canada. He made a living farming there and settled down

his son, Al's father, Samuel Edison, runs a hotel business in the city of Wiener on Lake Erie and has a good life. There is a female teacher named Nancy in this city. She is a Canadian of Scottish origin. She is respected by the public because of her earnest teaching. She attracted little Samuel's admiration, so the hostel owner began to propose to her. Later, their love grew and finally reached the boiling point, and they got married in 1828. After they got married, they lived in the city for some time before they moved away

this time, they took the "prairie carriage" to migrate again and settled in Milan, Ohio. Samuel manages the manufacture and sale of roof tiles here. The business is not bad. The couple live a happy life

his house is a red brick bungalow with a roof cabin. The house is located at the foot of the mountain with a simple and generous appearance

after her marriage, Nancy had seven children. Nancy had four children before the family moved to Milan. Since then, she has had three more children. Edison was the seventh and the last son born to his mother. According to the name of his ancestors, Edison was named Thomas. Because his father had a good personal relationship with Captain Alva Bradley, he borrowed the captain's name Alva. Edison's full name is Thomas Alva Edison. Everyone around him called him Alva, and his mother liked to call him Alva

they lived in this simple town until al was 7 years old. But the city is unforgettable for al

although he doesn't remember everything about the city, the pointed roof of the church, the wide field, the big tree standing in front of his home, and so on, are always in his mind. When he is old, he still remembers these scenes clearly

there are many anecdotes about little Al in Milan. Some people say that he is a different child. First of all, after the baby was born, he almost never cried and always laughed. Gray eyes, shiny, look very smart, not too big, the body is very weak, looks vulnerable. He is often interested in some objects and then tries to grasp them with his hands. His mouth and eyes move, just as alts think. He never stops what he has decided to do. As soon as he learns to walk, he needs no help. The child's hair is sparse and stands up. It doesn't stick at all. It looks ugly. Father saw uncomfortable for his hair, the result is more ugly, mother also frowned. At the age of three, Alva cut his hair with his fingers, as an alt would do when thinking

Al is different, not only that. Children are curious when they are young and like to ask questions. The difference is that "Al is more curious than most children, and has an instinct to experiment with what others tell him, as well as twice the energy and creativity of others." As far as people can remember, he learned to speak as if to ask questions. Some of his questions, though unimportant, are not easy to answer. Because he asked so many questions, most of his family didn't even want to answer them. But his mother always tries to help him. Once he asked his father, "why is it windy?" Samuel Edison replied, "Al, I don't know.". "Why don't you know?" Al asked

he is not only curious, but also wants to try everything himself

once, when it was time for dinner, Edison still didn't come back. His parents were very anxious and looked around. They didn't find him in the grass shed by the yard until the evening. Father saw him lying motionless in the grass with a lot of eggs, so he asked strangely, "what are you doing?" Little Edison answered calmly, "I'm hatching chickens." It turned out that when he saw that hens would hatch chickens, he felt very strange and always wanted to try it on his own. At that time, his father pulled him up and told him that people can't hatch chickens. On the way home, he was still puzzled and asked, "why can't I, when hens can hatch chickens?"

because Al is interested in many things, he is often in danger. Once, he went to the house where the wheat was stored and accidentally fell into the wheat store. The wheat buried his head and couldn't move. He nearly died. Fortunately, he was found out in time and grabbed al's foot and pulled him out. Another time, he fell into the water and was pulled up like a drowned chicken. He himself was shocked. When he was 4 years old, he wanted to see what was in the wild beehive on the fence, so he poked it with a branch. His face was stung by a wild bee, and he could hardly open his eyes

al often goes to the mill of Sam Winchester to play. One day, he went to Winchester's mill and saw that Winchester was experimenting with a flying device with a balloon, which fascinated al. He thought, if people's stomach is full of gas, it will rise to heaven. How beautiful it should be! A few days later, he put some chemicals together and asked one of his father's servants, Michael Oates, to eat the chemicals and fly. Oates almost fainted after eating al's chemical. Al seems to think that Oates' failure to fly is Oates' failure, not his failure

the incident not only made al's parents feel headache, but also shocked the parents of children nearby. They warned their children one after another: "don't play with Al!"

after listening to their parents' admonition, the children dare not be with Al any more. Even if al invites them, they just look at him with fear and dare not approach him. Sometimes, a few bold children even sing songs to insult al. They sing: Al, Al, strange child; Al, Al, he's a fool; We don't play with Al anymore

for doing these things, Al was whipped by his father. His father thought that only by whipping al would he not get into trouble again. His mother also thinks that if a child does something wrong and you don't whip him, he won't be a good person. She didn't want that to happen to Al again. Although Al was whipped, it couldn't stop him from taking an interest in everything

he went to work when he was 6 years old. Love to observe, love to think about problems, love to seek the root is the key to his novel world. There are big elms and red maples at the crossroads in the middle of the village, so he went to observe how those trees grew; There are many beautiful signboards in the shops along the street, and he wants to them down or even draw them down

his strong thirst for knowledge and desire to do experiments often bring him trouble

once, playing on his father's farm, he set fire to his father's warehouse to see what would happen. As a result, the warehouse turned to ashes. What al has done is too bad and dangerous to ignore. For this, Al was beaten more severely than before. Al was not angry with his father. After that, he never seemed to take the pain seriously

Al was in trouble again soon. Once he swam with another boy. After a while, Al found him here alone. He waited for the boy to turn around, but he didn't see the boy come back after waiting for a long time. Al came home alone and said nothing about what had happened. In the middle of the night, his parents woke him up and asked his friend what was wrong. Al said, "I'll wait and wait. He'll never come back." His partner was later found drowned. Al didn't know he should have told others what had happened. At this time, his father began to feel that Al was abnormal. Samuel was always worried about what trouble his son would cause others<

Edison was 7 years old
