Read the following passage carefully, then answer the questions below:
Last night, I enjoyed reading a book about electricity. When I thought about, it was hard for me to believe that long ago people were not able to read at night. That's because there were no electric lights. Some people used candles, gas and oil lamps to see at night.
The electric light bulb was invented in 1879 by Thomas Edison. He invented many other things which we use today. He also invented things which helped other scientists develop their own inventions.
Thomas Edison was born on February 11, 1847 in Milan Ohio. Thomas Edison was a smart scientist. He used to produce lots of new ideas. However, when he was a child, his teachers thought that he was not smart because he used to ask too many questions. His mother said he asked questions because he wanted to know how things work. Teachers stopped Thomas Edison from going to school. She started teaching him at home. Thomas Edison worked so hard day and night that he had little time for family and friends. He spent much of his childhood in Michigan In fact Thomas Edison had some hearing problems. Once, he wrote, "I have not heard a bird sing since I was twelve years old."
