    　　Thomas Edison made more than 1,000 inventions in his life. Many of his inventions have changed the world His first invention was a rote recorder in 186(9) This machine allowed people to place a vote by pressing a button instead of saying “yes” or “no”. However, American government officials（政府官员）did not like Edison's invention because they liked to call out their votes. Edison learned a lesson: he told himself never again to invent something people did not want.

    　　Edison started a company with his friend, Franklin Pope, to make fire and burglar alarms to use with the telegraph. At this company, Edison was busy from early morning until late at night. He often said, “There is no substitute（替代物）for hard work.” He invented a telegraph to print the price of gold and silver. He sold it to the Western Union Company for 15,000 US dollars.

    　　With some of this money Edison started his own company. He next invented a stock ticker. This was a machine that recorded the price of stocks in New York. Western Union paid Edison 40,000 dollars for this invention.

    　　Edison used this money to open a shop in the state of New Jersey. There he met a young woman, Mary Stilwell. Edison and Mary got married on Christmas Day 187(1) They had three children. In 1875, with his wife and young family, Edison moved to Menlo Park in the same state. There he built his own laboratory. In the laboratory were tables, science books, instruments and bottles of chemicals.

    　　His first success at Menlo Park was an improvement on the telephone that had just been invented by Alexander Graham Bell.

    　　Thomas Edison was often said to be the greatest genius(天才)of his age．

    　　There are only a few men in all of history who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light．But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius．“There is no such things as genius,”Edison said．He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work．But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker．From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature．Nature, he often said, is full of secrets．He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them．

    　　Edison enjoyed thinking．He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often．But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure．

    　　Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life．As he loved to think, he also loved to work．On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life．“Work,”he answered,“discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier．”He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work．
