People often said Thomas Edison was 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 pleased only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such a thing as genius,” Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.
But Edison was a thinker as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them.
Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure.
Edison could not understand why anyone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what idea 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.

This morning, I got a funny feeling. Today I had to give a report in my        , and I had been afraid to do so for a long time.
Mom came into the kitchen, asking , “Are you ready,         ?”
“ Yes.” I answered quietly.         in fact I wasn’t ready!
On my way          school, I could feel my heart beating. I hated this!
I went into Mrs. Owens’ class. She was smiling, and saying        to all her students as she did every morning.
“ Hi, Sam,” she said to me as I walked         the classroom.
“ Hi,” I said and quickly sat in my        . I looked at the clock. The time was near. Then Mrs. Owens started, “ Sam, it’s time for you to show yourself.” “Show         ? Oh, no!”
I got up slowly,          the ground as I walked to the front of the class. Then, I looked up, and everyone was looking at me. Mrs. Owens knew I was         , so she came beside me, and put her hand on my back.
She said to the class, “Sam has worked very hard on his         ,and I know it is a very interesting report.” Then she turned to me and asked, “Sam,          did you like best about your report on Hawaii?”
I thought about the fun things I         about surfing before, and I started to talk. I talked and talked        the whole class, and I was not nervous at all. It was great fun. It wasn’t frightening. The class cheered as I finished and Mrs. Owens was         .
In fact, I can do better than I think I can— if I try! I am proud of myself.
