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.
