Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all of the 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 thing 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.

(答案→)B 解析:本文讲的是伟大的发明家爱迪生被人们认为是天才,但他认为所谓的天才就是努力的工作,爱迪生从小就对发现大自然额的奥秘有着极大的兴趣,并且通过研究大自然的奥秘发明了许多对人类有益的东西。1.细节判断题。由第一段第二句There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light.像电灯发明者一样,历史上仅仅只有几个人能够改变别人的生活。故A,C,D正确,B错误。本题答案为B。2.细节题。由第一段第三句But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius.“There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.但是,爱迪生肯定会不高兴,因为有人说他是一个天才,“没有所谓的天才”,爱迪生说,被称作天人的人大多是在努力的工作。故A,D错误。C正确。而文中并未提到天才对于一个人的成功有着很重要的作用。故B错误。本题答案为C。3.细节题。由倒数第二句,Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.发现大自然的奥秘,并且使用它们使人们生活的更加幸福。可知,B正确。4.推理题。文中最后一句,He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.爱迪生说他的脑海里已经有足够的发明,能够使他工作另外一个一百年,这句话暗含的意思是对爱迪生来说,生命太短暂了,以致于使他不能发明出更多对人类有益的东西。故答案为A。
