Thomas Alva Edison was the most famous inventor in American history. He had 1 ,093 pa?tents in a wide range of fields,including telecommunications,electric power,sound recording,motion pictures,primary and storage batteries,and mining and cement technology. As impor?tant,he broadened the notion of invention to encompass what we now call innovation―inven?tion,research,development,and commercialization and invented the industrial research labora?tory. Edison's role as an innovator is evident not only in his two major laboratories at Menlo Park and West Orange in New Jersey but in more than 300 companies formed worldwide to man?ufacture and market his inventions,many of which carried the Edison name,including some 200 Edison illuminating companies.
Edison was born in 1847 in the canal town of Milan,Ohio,the last of seven children. He attended school briefly but was principally educated at home by his mother and in his father's li?brary. In 1859 Edison began working on a local branch of the Grand Trunk Railroad,selling newspapers,magazines,and candy. At one point he printed a newspaper on the train,and he also conducted chemical experiments in a baggagecar laboratory. By 1862 he had learned enough telegraphy to be employed as an operator in a local office.
From 1863 to 1867 he traveled through the Midwest as a telegrapher. During these years he read widely,studied and experimented with telegraph technology.
In the fall of 1878,Edison devoted thirty months to developing a complete system of incan?descent electric lighting. During his lamp experiments,he noticed an electrical phenomenon that became known as the " Edison effect". In World War I,the federal government asked Edison to head the Naval Consulting Board,which examined inventions submitted for military use. Edison worked on several problems,including submarine detectors and gun location techniques.
By the time of his death in 1931,Edison had received 1 ,093 U. S. patents,a total still un?touched by any other inventor. Even more important,he created a model for modern industrial research.

Many people have seen Harry Potter and The Halfblood Prince since it came out last July. And just like the readers of the Harry Potter books,the theater audience have included children,teenagers,and adults.
The Halfblood Prince is the sixth Harry Potter movie,and is based on the sixth in the se?ries of seven books written by the author J. K. Rowling. The story of the final book,The Deathly Hallows,is going to be told in not one but two movies,which will come out in 2010 and 2011.
In some ways,The Halfblood Prince is just like the other stories：Harry is again the hero fighting against the forces of evil,a lot of the action takes place at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,and there are familiar things such as the game of Quidditch (sort of like soccer,although it is played in the sky and the players ride on broomsticks) .
One of the differences with this movie is that we see less of the evil wizard Lord Voldemort,but there is still a lot of evil in the story―in fact,most movie critics say The Halfblood Prince feels "darker" than the other movies because you can feel the presence of Voldemort most of the time.
This is certainly true at the beginning of the movie,when there is an attack on London by Voldemort's followers,the "Death Eaters". Like a few other things in the movie,this was not in the book of The Halfblood Prince,and might therefore be a surprise for many Harry Potter fans.
Another difference is that the movie spends more time looking at the relationships between the students at Hogwarts. Harry,Ron,Hermione,and the others are now teenagers rather than children―there is even a little romance in the story.
Daniel Radcliffe,19, Harry Potter in the movie,said he will be "very sad" when the series movies end,but also excited because he will be able to play different roles.
( ) 1. We can learn from the passage that .
A. the focus of the final movie is to be " romance"
B. Daniel will play different roles in the final movie
C. There will be eight Harry Potter series of movies in all
D. J. K. Rowling wrote about an attack on London in the sixth book
( ) 2. The passage is mainly about .
A. the popularity of J. K. Rowling
B. The Deathly Hallows,the final book
C. the sixth movie of Harry Potter series
D. the differences between the sixth movie and the final one
( ) 3. "The Death Eaters" in Paragraph 5 are .
A. part of the evil side B. heroes against Voldemort's followers
C. Harry Potter's fans D. new friends in the Hogwarts School
( ) 4. What mainly makes the sixth movie of the series different from the others?
A. The main characters have grown up.
B. The game of Quidditch can't be seen in it.
C. The less presence of Voldemort makes viewers feel easier.
D. Harry Potter develops a friendship with Ron and Hermione.

Net Library is a library that lends out digital books. It treats a digital like a paperback copy. It charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of the total income.
From the consumer's point of view,this means that if more than five people want the latest Danielle Steel romance novel,other people who request that book will get a message saying the title can't be found.
It's a model many publishers seem to have embraced. More than 350 publishers gave the company rights to hand out their digital works,and McGraw-Hill Corporation and Houghton Mifflin Corporation have put money in to the company. The California public libraries and about 1,800 others across the US are trying out the Net Library service.
Some librarians criticize the New Library model. Stanford University librarian Michael Keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital works,which is contrary to the ideas of the Internet.
Keller and some other librarians argue for the ebook vision set forth by E-Brary. E-Brary is starting a service that lets us users read books for free.
But it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to print out material or copy and paste it into a different file or tries to download copy onto a computer.
Christopher Warnock,chief executive of E-Brary,believes most consumers won't want to buy entire books,only the parts that interest them.
"There's not really a lot of good in owning an electronic file and having to store it and manage it. It doesn't make sense," he said.
( ) 1. How do publishers get money from the Net Library?
A. They get money by cutting the cost of the books.
B. They share the money with the Net Library.
C. They get the money from the readers.
D. They get money from selling their books to the Net Library.
( ) 2. The underlined word "embraced" in the 3rd paragraph means .
A. taken something willingly B. disliked something badly
C. tried out something hard D. held something tightly
( ) 3. From the 2nd paragraph we can see consumers .
A. don't like other people borrowing books
B. don't care if they are charged money
C. enjoy the service of the Net Library
D. complain about the limited number of the new books
( ) 4. What does the last paragraph mean?
A. E-Brary is not a good library for the consumers.
B. There is no need for consumers to have a whole book.
C. Net Library is not a good way for the consumers.
D. It's reasonable to charge the consumers money for copying some pages.
