Alexander Graham Bell was a British man who was a teacher to people who could not hear. He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1847 and went to school in Edinburgh and London. People who can not hear any sounds at all are called deaf people, and Alexander became interested in helping them to learn to speak. He taught people how to use their mouths to make the sounds needed for talking.

Bell’s family moved to Canada in 1870 and to the USA in 1871. For several years he taught the people who could not speak in Boston. But at the same time he was developing a way to use electricity to send the sounds of talking along a wire, and he made the first telephone in June, 1875. He worked hard in his workshop for six months with his helper Tom Watson. Finally, he spoke these famous words slowly into the telephone, “Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.” and Watson came to him.

The telephone developed quickly in the USA over the next few years. The Bell Telephone Company started in 1877, and in 1878 the first telephone centre was built in New York. More than 150,000 people had telephones in their homes ten years later. Alexander Graham Bell was a kind man and spent much of his money and time during the rest of his life helping deaf people. In 1922 he died in Canada.

　　Alexander Bell（亚历山大·贝尔）was an American scientist. He invented the first telephone in 1876.

　　Bell was born in Scotland（苏格兰）. Later he found a job in the United States. He taught the deaf children in a new school. Bell was a very kind man. He liked the deaf children very much. But when he saw the children couldn't hear anything, he felt very sad. He made up his mind to help the children.

　　Bell tried to find a way to send a voice wire（电线）. He thought that spoken words were made up of different vibration（振动）. He thought that if a wire could carry vibrations, it must carry a man's voice. After Bell had the idea, he kept working day after day. He and his assistant worked for about four years. They tried their best to make their wishes come true.

　　One day in 1874, Bell was in one room. But suddenly he heard a sound come from another room. He ran into his assistant's room and shouted. He was very happy because he succeeded at last. Then Bell made his first telephone. But this telephone carried voices only a little way.

　　Later the great Einstein made a better one. Of course, the telephone we use now is much better than Einstein's.

单句找错并改正

(　　)________

When I crossed a small road on my first day in Kolkata, I was surprised because I heard a bell-not a horn (喇叭). It was a tiny man pulling a rickshaw(人力黄包车).He stopped and picked up two children from the front door of their house and pulled them to school. For many people, the rickshaw in Kolkata has many advantages. When the traffic is bad, rickshaws find a way through the traffic. If your miss your bus and there aren't any taxis, you can always find a rickshaw in Kolkata. Rickshaws are from your house to the market and waits for you. Then he loads (装载)all your things, drops you off outside your home and helps you unload. No other type of public transport offers this kind of service.
From June to September, Kolkata gets heavy rain. Sometimes it rains for 48 hours without a break. In some parts of the city, the roads flood (水淹), and anything with an engine(发动机) is useless. But the rickshaw drivers never stop working, even with water all around them.
But not everyone thinks rickshaws are a good thing. The local government want to ban rickshaws. They believe it is wrong for one man to pull another person when there is modern transport in the city. However, there is a problemwith this plan. Many of the rickshaw drivers come from the countryside. The only job they can find in Kolkata is pulling a rickshaw. If the city bans rickshaws, these men won't have a job. So for the moment, the people of Kolkata still go by rickshaw.
