Ⅲ 初中英语演讲作文3篇，不要太长的

英语写作要求有一定量的词汇，没有词汇就好比巧妇无米难以下厨。写作时可能出现要写的词记不起来、要用的词拿不准、尤其是遇到同义词、更不知用哪一个好、或词性没记住，结果乱用……. 这都说明平时对单词的记忆不够牢固，理解不清。这就要求我们在记单词的时候多花点力气，要从单词的音、形、义入手，最好不要单独记忆单词，这样容易遗忘，要把它放在句子或文章中一起记忆，这样可把握单词的词义、用法、搭配等词汇特点。除了课本上的词汇必须掌握外，还要进行广泛的课外阅读，来增加词汇。

二、掌握语法

英语中虽有很多句子与汉语相似或相同，但语法与汉语不尽相同，它有自己的基本句型固定搭配、固定短语等。要想写好作文，必须学好语法。英语中有五种基本句型结构，几乎所有的英语句型都是五种句型的扩大、延伸或变化，因此，应牢记这五种基本句型，并不断地练习运用。

1. S +V

2. S+V+O

3. S+V+O+O

4. S+V+P

5. S+V+O+C

这五种句型虽能表达一定的意思，但无法比较自由地表达思想，因此还需对学生进一步进行扩句训练，在课堂上充分发挥学生的想象力，进行扩句练习。其次，要加强句型教学，要对一些句子进行分析，增强他们利用各种句子进行一意多种表达的训练。再次，充分利用新教材中“巩固语言练习”对学生进行基本语感的训练。

三、背诵范文

古人说：“熟读唐诗三百首，不会做诗也会吟”。背诵范文是中国人学习语言的传统方法，它不但可以加强记忆、积累语言材料，而且可以定型语式句式，语套模式和行文模式，将背诵用于英语学习更是见效。因为一种语言的具体句子和语篇是无限的，而其结构模式则是有限的。掌握一个结构模式或行文模式就意味着具有生成无数语气和语篇的能力。语言模式的作用类似于数学公式，非常重要。而经典的语言模式则存在于范文之中，所以要熟读背诵。

四、以说促写

说话是作文的先导，是作文的起步。俗话说：“只有出口成章，才能下笔成文”。在教学过程中，教师可有意识地让学生用词造句，由词生文练习。由易到难，循序渐进地让学生说。

可以把现实生活搬进课堂，模拟生活中的各种人物、情景，让学生在真情实感的角色扮演中

进行口语交际。让学生把生活中的人物通过语言、动作、心理活动表演出来，让学生自由发挥，畅所欲言。也可以通过演讲培养口头作文能力，并引导学生把“说”和“写”联系起来，这样说说写写，写写说说，不仅提高了口语表达能力，而且通过说话过程中对口头语言的叙述，提高了书面语言表达能力，使学生写作能做到中心明确，条理清楚。

五、勤于动笔

适当地进行写作练习是不可缺少的，如果光大谈写作，而从不去动笔写，是写不出好作文的，所谓的熟能生巧就是说的这一点。可以让学生采用写日记的方法来提高自己的表达能力，也可以就不同的题材，自拟题目来写或者就某篇课文来扩写、缩写、改写等，这些都可以用来练练手笔。也可以要求学生随读、随学、随写，读有所得，学以致用。

六、写作步骤

1. 审题

在动笔之前，必须认真审题，分析命题意图。根据题目确定文章体裁，考虑文章内容，把与题目有关的材料分析，整理加以取舍。对属于同一类材料的拟出标题，作文审题在很大程度上关系到整篇文章的成败。有的考生唯恐时间不够，急于成文，不认真审题，结果写出的文章不是离题太远，与原命题大相径庭，就是抓不住重点，杂乱无章，缺乏逻辑性与关联。

2. 列题纲

审明了题义，了解了命题的意图，接下来就是列提纲。提纲有两种形式，即标题式和句式。标题式提纲就是用短语和词组列出文章的层次和段落以及各层次、各段落的大致顺序。这种提纲的特点是简洁、清楚。句式提纲是用完整的句子列出的提纲，这种提纲提供了更加详尽的轮廓。列提纲时，应防止两种形式的混用，句式提纲是句子，而标题式提纲是名词词组。列提纲时要尽量使用平行结构，编号要统一。有了提纲，文章在材料安排上才会层次分明，整体性强。

3. 起草稿

审明了题意，列出了提纲，下一步就是应该分段写作。每段应该只有一个中心，段落的结构要完整。自然段多以该段的主题句开头、中间展开说明和叙述，末句常是结论或内容的归纳。在推展主题目时，要充分利用学到的写句子、写段落的技巧，注意句与句、段与段的衔接和过渡。注意段落的完整性和连贯性。为了使文章紧凑，全文最好一气呵成。

4. 修改

修改是写好文章必不可少的一环。修改是指初稿完成后对文章从内容，形式到语言等进行加工提高，通过修改使文章达到主题明确，内容翔实、结构严谨，语法正确，无拼写和标点错误。

5. 校阅

修改后的文章要认真抄写一遍。誊写时要注意：标题写在第一行的中央，除介词，连词、冠词外，标题中每一个实词都应大写。标题除了疑问句或感叹句外，标题不加标点，即使是一个完整的句子，也不加句号；注意段落首缩进3-4个字母；书写要工整，规范，卷面要整洁，词与词之间要有2-3个字母的间隔 ；抄写完之后，一定要检查一遍。校阅要逐字逐段进行，注意检查语法错误，拼写错误、标点和大小写等方面的错误。花两分钟检查一遍，往往能增强文章的效果、提高考试成绩。
作文不理想的原因很多，总的看来主要有以下几个方面的问题：
第一、英语底子太薄。底子太薄主要表现为对语法知识掌握不牢及对基本词汇记忆不清。它包括定冠词和不定冠词的滥用，主谓不一致，单复数搞不清楚（例如：a people等），时态和语态混乱及词语的各种形式掌握不牢。有的学生文章写得很长，字迹也很工整，但是读完之后只觉得思路紊乱，支离破碎，没有一个完整的句子，所以也就只能得两三分以慰劳苦。
第二、词汇量太小，且对已学词汇记忆不清。除了底子太薄这个历史原因之外，学生词汇量太小也是一个不容忽视的原因。有的学生汉语功底很好，用汉语作文，他们就会思如泉涌，下笔千言，但是一到用英语作文就好像被缚住了手脚，不知如何下手。比如99年1月的作文，题目是”Don't Hesitate to Say No”, 大部分学生能够领会题意并能按给出的汉语提纲作文，但有的学生连Hesitate是什么意思都不知道，更不用说在此基础上再作发挥了。另外有的学生虽然对题目及要求非常清楚，但是因为自己所掌握的词汇所限，无法用一些合适的词来表达自己的思想，于是只有绕着题目翻来覆去乱说一气，再加上这次出的作文提纲就象一道绕口令：
1、 别人请求帮助时，在什么情况下我们会说“不”；
2、 为什么有些人在该说“不”的时候不说“不”；
3、 该说“不”时不说“不”的坏处。
所以在说过一个又一个的”No”再加几个”Yes”之后，阅卷老师也给搞得云里雾里，头脑发胀，最后也只得酌情给个两三分罢了。还有的一写到纸上就是错字别字满篇，有些词汇的用法也走了样。其中最典型的就是for example写成example for , for instance写成for a instance, illegal 写成unlegle, 而such as, in spite of 等许多短语则是乱用一气。词汇的有限导致许多学生有口难言，欲说不能，对他们来说，用英语作文实在是一件很头疼的事情。
第三、缺乏思想，深度不够。99年1月的考试中很大一部分学生不能得高分还有一个重要的原因，就是他们的作文缺乏思想，深度不够。很多学生虽然本科毕业，但是他们在作文当中所表现出的智力水平与阅历似乎只相当于一个高中生。写出的文章着眼点低，视野狭窄。作为学生，作文着眼于学生之间的关系，反映学生之间的帮忙，这并不为过，但是这种帮忙不能仅仅限于在考试当中的帮忙，而且对这种帮忙都是一句话 ”Don't hesitate to say 'No'”。更有相当一部分学生在文章中写帮忙就是这一次考试当中的帮忙。与在校考生比较起来，社会考生应该多了许多社会阅历，也多了一些见解，但是举出来的例子也是范围太窄，大多是讲老板或领导让干的事只能答 ”Yes”而不能回答 ”No”。其实除了这些，可举的例子很多，关键是要抓住实质。
第四、缺乏应试技巧。缺乏应试技巧，主要表现为有些学生在篇首或篇尾有喊口号倾向（如Dear Friends, let's not hesitate to say”No”）,或画蛇添足,本来文章该结束了却偏要罗罗嗦嗦再来两句多余的话；另外一些学生字数把握不准，不是写得太短就是写得太长，写得太短的会因为字数不够而失分，太长的又因为阅卷老师任务繁重，时间窘迫，不能因为一篇文章乱了整个阅卷节奏。还有一些学生的笔迹（尤其是用纯蓝墨水钢笔和出水太浅的圆珠笔写的），让阅卷老师怎么也看不清楚。
以上是英语考试中常见的几个问题，更是我们平时英语作文当中应该注意的几个方面。要写好一篇英语文章，关键要在平时下功夫，打好牢固的基础，但是如果这一功夫在使用的时候不讲技巧，不但不能事半功倍地发挥出最高技巧，取得最佳成绩，甚至可能出现与实际水平相去甚远的低成绩。因此，上面讲到的四个问题应该是相辅相成，缺一不可的，做到了这几点，写出一篇好的英语作文应该是不难的。
知道原因了就知道怎么提高英语作文水平了，希望对你有帮助!

Ⅳ 给三篇不同的英文作文，不超过三分钟，题目自由，最好是中学程度

My Dream 英语作文
When I was a naughty boy, may be because of the influence of the film."Xiao Bing Zhang Ga",my dream was to be a soldier just like Zhang Ga. I thought if I was a soldier, I should be able to swim, dive and climb trees as he did. It seemed to be very wonderful. So I began to learn swimming, diving and climbing trees. I practiced every day and finally I could do them well. But when I entered junior high school and had the military training. I suddenly found that being a soldier was very difficult and I wasn’ strong enough to bear it . I had to give my dream up.
But I wasn’t discouraged, and I had new aim, which was to be a postman, or rather to be a newspaper boy. As a newspaper boy. I could speed along streets on a bike and throw newspapers onto every porch. That’s also very cool. So I started learning to ride a bicycle. After the everyday practice, I could go very fast by bicycle. But to my disappointment, the job which I wanted only existed in western counties not in China, because there was no porch in China. And Chinese postmen had to stuff very thick newspapers into very small mailboxes from very narrow entrances. The job was far from what I had expected. So once again my dream fell through.
Perhaps you have had the same experience as I and most of your dreams haven’t come true yet. But I think it doesn’t matter, because if you have a dream, you’ll make many efforts to realize it. This course is really important. If I hadn’t dreamt of being a soldier or a newspaper boy. I wouldn’t have learned to swim, to dive, to climb trees or to ride a bicycle. Even if our dream can’t come true, you’ll learn much from the efforts you have made. So what I want to tell us is that dream helps us to grow up and teaches us how to control our lives . It is dream that gives us power and makes our lives colorful

Part-time job
It's been a month that the summer vacation went by. We have a long holiday, which is longer than the others. Most of us were plan to find a part-time job in order to kill the boring time while we got the news. So it was the same with me, of coz. I've been itching to take the part-time job when I was in the junior high school, more for getting some value experiences than for money.

Because lots of my friends have works experiences and have a more independent life. They are willing to share their interesting work experiences with me. In the work life, they met many difficulties; they would try to do something on their own. Different kinds of setbacks made them more strong and go easy on everything afterward. I felt somehow ashamed of myself ,I like to be independent, but it is difficult for me. I live under my parents' wings, then hide mine. My parents arrange everything for me,let me denpend on them for food and clothing.I know I can't go on like this. If I couldn't get rid of the protect from them ,I can't be independent.Their love will cut my wings.For this reason,I took the part-time job together with my friends.Our work was demanding, and if our speed was slowly ,we couldn't make much money.Sometimeswe felt disappointed,and made much complaints,even had the thoughts of coming back.But we kept on it.In the work life,we had something fun,something that made us felt sad.I almost forgot. There was a warm-hearted old man,he was a factory security. He took good care of us.And that made us felt happy in the other city.We were very gratefull to him. What a nice old man!Unfortunately,

I got a bad headache and a high temperature when I was planning to go back.That was because the roasting weather and the hard work.Thanks to my friends ,they looked after me ,as if my mother was around.Because of that ,I deeply felt the important of friendship . I just wanted to say,thank you!

When I took the first salary of my life,I knew it's very difficult to make money. All in all,my first work life was over,I learned lots of things. That's meaningful.

端午节英语作文 第二篇

Duanwu Festival (端午节, Duānwū Jié) is a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar. It is also known as the Double Fifth.[citation(引用;引证) needed] It has since been celebrated, in various ways, in other parts of East Asia as well. In the West, it's commonly known as Dragon Boat Festival.

The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear, but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan (c. 340 BC-278 BC) of the Warring States Period. He committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fish so they would not eat Qu's body. They also sat on long, narrow paddle boats called dragon boats, and tried to scare the fish away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking carved dragon head on the boat's prow(船头).

In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan Wu was also celebrated as "Poets' Day," e to Qu Yuan's status as China's first poet of personal renown(名声名望).

Today, people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous(粘的) rice mplings called zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragon boats in memory of Qu's dramatic death。

Ⅶ 做英语阅读理解有哪些技巧

做英语阅读理解的技巧有：

1、若针对举例子、人物言论出题，需要查找例子以及人物所说的句子前后的内容，然后与各选项逐一核对。

2、在出现一些关键词,如however，but，moreover, therefore，thus时，要特别注意句子前后意义的转折、递进、因果等关系。

(7)初中英语阅读三篇多长时间做完扩展阅读：

阅读积累要提高阅读水平，词汇量与短语量非常重要。所以要提高阅读水平，我们就得学会积累词语。我们不妨这么做：在通读全文后看第二遍，遇到生词尽可能根据上下文来猜，仍猜不出意思的，就查词典，然后将这些词抄写在一本可随身携带的小本子上。

每当有空时，就拿出这个小本子来背诵记忆。这样做不但不费时，而且效果也很好。因为不时地接触、反复地记忆，词汇量会增加得很快。

另外，句子都能看懂，但读完文章印象却不深，这就牵涉到对文章框架结构的整体理解。首先，要重视文章的标题和文章的首句，因为文章的标题或首句就是文章的主题，文章的内容就是围绕主题展开的；

其次，文章的结尾句往往是这篇文章的结论或作者写这篇文章的用意所在；再次，善于标注文章关键句，可以帮助你掌握文章的全貌，理解文章的主题。很多题目就是围绕它们而设计的。

A little Brave Girl
A little Brave Girl

It is a true story.

This story was set in at the end of 2004 Zhejiang, when a ten-year old girl walked on her way to home from school as usual, she was being kidnapped off guard
by three men, whom are over 30 years of age, be tall, strong, and are very experienced in kidnapping. For just a split second, the girl was got in a car and didn’t know where she would head, but she didn’t burst into tears like others probably have done in her age, was unusually sober and figured out what has just happened. After short deliberation, she gave her parents telephone number to three
kidnappers after she was asked twice. Kidnappers shortly send short message to
her parents to tell what they did a moment ago for the ransom of RMB500,000 as they commands, threatened them with their daughter’s life. Her parents were at their wits' end at that moment and later had to dial police for helping. During closely watched by two kidnappers, the girl were pleased to cooperate with them in three meals, water, and spoke something to them for delaying. Luckily, kidnappers are very emotional and were amazed at what the girl said when it comes to money, “ I know clearly you are impossible to kill me, you need money most of all
, but you should know money doesn’t grow on trees, but on painstaking hands.”
The girl said, “ Uncle, you have probably had children like me, if you children
are in the danger of kidnapping, how then do you think? …” Finally, the kidnappers were profoundly moved by her reasonable words, and policemen easily seized them about two days later, now they do their time.

Soon after, a journalist wanted to disclose the reason why such a little young
girl is so wise upon the curious queries from the public, but the girl’s parents definitely rejected to accept visit, because they are afraid of kidnapping again as everyone would probably know her. But her main teacher briefly told that
the school often takes “ Keep a head ring a crisis, to be wise and brave.” as a compulsory lesson to ecate pupils, this girl are brave enough to practise
this lesson. Also, the girl said she was sort of scared but must to eat enough to keep energetic so as to fight against the kidnappers as long as she could.

Through this story, I deeply feel that the importance of ecation. Nothing is
more important than to receive ecation. Ecation, is absolutely not complete
with graation, is a lifelong study and bound to exert a great impact on our future. Further, the value of ecation. We should not ecate children only for
the aim of ecation, our foremost purpose is to fit them for life.

We can see bats in almost every part of the world but they can’t live in very hot or very cold places. They live on all continents but do not live on Antarctica. You can find most species of bats in the places where the weather is nice and warm.
On some islands there are only a few kinds of bats. That’s because it’s too far for most bats to get to those islands.
In the United States, the greatest number of bats live in the south-western part of the country. This place has all kinds of places where bats can live and there is a lot of food ring most of the year. For example, Texas has 32 different kinds of bats while Maine has only 8; Arizona has 28 species, but Michigan has just 10.

1-3 C A B

Thomas Alva Edison was a man of wonderful ability who

had the good luck to be born at a good time. In the period

just after the American Civil War the United States was

growing conditions were right for the talents of a man like

Edison.

The Edison family had come to the United States from Holland

in the early part of the l8th century． Thomas Alva the

youngest of Samuel’s seven children was born in 1847.

Thomas was an unusually curious child． Even at an early age

he loved to read and make experiments． Because he was so

dreamy and quiet a teacher once accused him of being stupid．

Thomas’s mother was so displeased by this remark that she took

her son out of school and never sent him back. She took charge

of his ecation herself and taught him reading history

science and philosophy． Edison was a very quick reader and he

remembered everything． Once he got the idea of starting at the

first shelf of a large library and reading everything in it．

But after reading through fifteen feet of books he gave up

this ambition.

In order to earn money for books and for his scientific

experiments Thomas sold vegetables from the family garden.

This work did not bring in enough money and so he began to

sell newspapers and candy on a train that ran between Port

HuronMichigan and Detroit． Because people were so eager for

the latest news about the CiviI War which was then at its

height Thomas decided in February 1862 when he was fifteen

years old to print a newspaper of his own the Weekly Herald,

in a baggage car of the train where he worked．In four years he

earned two thousand dollars from thisbusiness.

While he worked on the train young Edison continued to

experiment setting up a laboratory in the baggage car. One day

a stick of phosphorus feIl to the floor and set thecar on

fire． The conctor of the train as so angry that he threw Tom

and all his equipment off the train at the next station； he

also struck Tom causing a permanent injury which later made

him deaf in the right ear.

One day not long after he had started his newspaper, EdiSon

saw a child playing on the tracks in front of a train. He

jumped off the station platform and snatched the child from

the wheels of the train. The father who happened to be the

stationmaster was so grateful that he offered to teach Tom to

become a telegraph operator．He gave him lessons four days a

week after the station had closed for the nightand in three

weeks Edison was a better telegrapher than his teacher.

Edison was sober and independent for his age, but hen was

restless and very careless in his dress． He began to wander

from city to city and from job to job． Because his ideas were

too strange to please the men who hired him,they often asked

him to leave． During this time, he worked in Indianapolis,

Cincinnati, Memphis, and Louisville．

Edison went to Boston's where he had been promised work as

adegraph operator, mainly because of the neat handwriting in

his letter of application, When heappeared in that city, he

looked so untidy and strange that the superintendent asked him

to return later in the day to take a test in telegraphy, with

ihe idea of making ihe test so diffcult that the young man

could not possibly pass it, As the rapid message came in,

Edison realized clerks in the station were playing a joke on

him. They had arranged for the new York operator to send him a

message, faster and faster,in an effort to make Edison admit

that he could not write it down at such a rapid pace, But

Edison was not discouraged. He decided to outwit these

fellows, and he began to send a message himself. He said to

the New York operator,“Come on, don’t go to sleep．Get busy!

That ended the joke, and Edison won his job, as weil as the

title of fastest telegraph operator in the Western Union

Company.

In 1869 he borrowed some money and went to New York． During

the first three years he spent there, he nearly died of

starvation. He slept in a room belonging to a company that

sent information on stock prices to the business houses of New

York． One day the machine that printed news about gold

stopped． Six hundred banks and business houses were without

information about what was being bought and sold that day.

Edison succeeded in repairing the machine, and he was then

offered a job as manager for $300 a month． He was soon hard at

work making improvements in the machine and inventing new

parts． His Universal Printer, invented at this time, printed

full information about gold prices, instead of showing them

only by a few letters and numbers． This was his first big

success． GeneraI Marshall Lefferts, president of the Gold and

Stock Telegraph Company, bought this and several other

inventions of Edison's for forty thousand dollars.

Edison then put his new money to work． He opened a factory

in Newark,New Jersey． Soon he had over one hundred and fifty

men building machines to record stock prices, while he himself

continued to work on new ideas. At one time, he had forty-five

separate inventions in his laboratory, including several

important improvements of the telegrilph. He invented a way of

sending two messages at the same time in opposite directions,

and then a way of sending two messages at the same time in the

same direction,In 1874 he invented and sold to Western Union a

system by which four messages could be sent over one wire at

the same time, two in each direction. He also perfected a new

system for sending telegrams. These inventions saved Western

Union milhons of dollars in the cost of wires and telegraph

poles alone.

Western Union then suggested to Edison that he try to

develop a commercially useful telephone, Alexander Graham Bell

had already patented the te1ephone, but Bell's telephone could

be heard only over short distances． Edison added several

improvements, which were adopted, and are still used in the

telephone today． Western Union paid Edison one hundred

thousand dollars for his inventions.

In l876 he built a workshop and laboratory in Menlo Park,

New Jersey． He was known after that as he Wizard of Menlo

Park,because of the wonderful discoveries he made there, He

began to study the attempts of other men to invent an

incandescent electric light． He tried over and over again to

make a soft light that would be suitab1e for use in private

houses． He tested over two thousand materials before

discovering one that would work． He needed something that

would become hot and give off light when electricity passed

through it in a glass container from which the air had been

removed． He spent a hundred thousand dollars searching for the

best material． Men were sent to India, China, Brazil, and

finally, Japan, where a material was finally found.

In Jalluary,1880, the electric light was patented. Edison

then built a factory for the proction of his light in Menlo

Park, and an electric power station in New York City. But it

was fourteen years before the public really accepted the

electric light． After that, the electric light business grew

So great that Edison was able to sell his share in the

electric light for more than one million dollars.

Edison patented over one thousand separate inventions ring

his life, He never stopped trying to learn more about science

and what it could do for man, His discoveries probably

increased the wealth of the world more than those of any other

single man in history.

On October l8,1931,Edison died at the age of eighiy-four at

his home in Orange, New Jersey． Several days later, the whole

United States turned off its electric lights for one minute,

in honor of the man whose discoveries had so changed and

improved the life of people everywhere.

托马斯.阿尔法.爱迪生是一位诞生在好时代里的天才人物。

南北战争以后,美国正在成长壮大,各种条件对于象爱迪生这样有天才的人都是有利的。

爱迪生一家人在十八世纪早期从荷兰来到美国。托马斯·阿尔法生于1847年,是撒缪尔的七个孩子中最小的一个。

托马斯是一个好奇心特强的孩子。即使还在幼年时代,他就爱读书和做实验。因为

他如此爱好空想和不声不响,以致一位老师有一次骂他愚蠢。托马斯的母亲对这个评语很不高兴,她令孩子退学不再返校。母亲自己照管孩子的教育,教他阅读,教他历史、科学和哲学等。爱迪生读起书来,领会得快,而且过目不忘。有一次他异想天开,要从一所大图书馆的第一个书架看起,看完书架上每一本书。但在看完了书架上十五英尺厚的书籍后,他放弃了这个野心。

为了挣钱买书和搞科学实验,托马斯就出售他家菜园中的蔬菜。这工作挣不到足够的钱,所以他就开始在一列专跑休伦港、密执安和底特律的火车上卖报纸和糖果。因为人们在南北战争的高潮中急于了解战争的新情况,托马斯在1862年2月间,他十五岁时,决定在他所工作的火车行李车上印刷他自己的报纸《先驱周报》。四年之间他从这张报纸上赚了二千美元。

年轻的爱迪生在火车上工作时继续搞实验,在行李车上建立了一间实验室。有一天

一根磷棒掉在地板上使这节车厢着火。列车长十分生气,在下一个车站把汤姆和他的所有实

验设备都扔下了火车,还揍了汤姆一顿,造成永久性伤害,使爱迪生右耳聋了。

爱迪生在开办他的报纸后不久,有一天望见一个小孩在火车前面的铁轨上玩耍。他急忙从站台上跳下把小孩从火车轮子下抢救出来。这孩子的父亲正好是站长,他很感激,主动

提出要教会汤姆成为电报员。他在车站夜晚关门后,每周给他上四次课,三个星期之后爱迪生 便成为比他老师更好的电报员了。

就他的年龄来说,爱迪生很稳重,有独立性,但他见异思迁,而且对于衣着很不注意。 他开始从一个城市漫游到另一个城市,从一个

职业换到另一个职业。因为他的想法太离奇,

不能使雇用他的人满意,雇主们常常叫他卷铺盖走路。在这段时间里,他在印地安纳波利斯,辛辛那提,孟菲斯和路易斯维尔等城市都工作过。

爱迪生去到了波士顿,在那里有人答应给他电报员的工作,主要因为他的求职信中字迹写得工整。当他在波士顿露面时,他是如此的衣冠不整,怪里怪气,以致主管人叫他当天晚些时候去参加电报技术的考试,目的是要故意出难题,使这位青年考不及格。当电报迅速拍进来时,爱迪生意识到电报局的职工们是在和他开玩笑。他们已经和纽约市的电报员安排好,给爱迪生拍一份电报来,越拍越快,企图迫使爱迪生承认他抄不下这么快的电报。但爱迪生没有泄气。他决心以智取胜,于是他开始自己拍出一份电报。他对纽约市的电报员说：“来吧,别去睡觉,使劲吧！”这就结束了这场玩笑,爱迪生也赢得了他的职位,同时还赢得了西联电讯公司最快电报员的称号。

1869年爱迪生借了些钱去到纽约,他在纽约的头三年里,几乎饿死。他睡在一家公司的一间房子里,这公司专给纽约各商行提供股票行情。一天,那台印刷黄金行情的机器不动了。六百家银行和商行都收不到关于那天买进卖出的商情,爱迪生把这机器修好了,因此人家给了他一个经理的职位,月薪三百美元。他很

快地就努力改进这台机器,并且还发明了许多新部件。他当时发明的万能印刷机印出了关于金价的全部情报,而不只是以少数字母和数字来显示行情。这是他第一个巨大的成功,金价和股票电报公司的经理马歇尔。莱费兹将军出资四万美元把这台机器和爱迪生的其他几项发明买了下来。

爱迪生就拿这新到手的钱做生意。他在新泽西州纽阿克市开了一家工厂。很快地他就雇了一百五十人制造纪录股票行情的机器了,而他自己则继续试验他的一些新想法。有一段时间在他实验室里共有四十五个不同的发明项目,包括几项对于电报机的重要改进。他想出了一种方法,可从两个相反方向同时各拍出一份电报,随后又想出一种方法,可从一个方向同时拍两份电报。1874年他发明并售给西联电讯公司一种装置,用了它可以在一根电线上拍发四份电报,即从每一方向可同时拍发两份电报。他还改进了一种拍电报的新方法。使之趋于完善。这些发明,仅在电线和电线竿的成本上就为西联电讯公司节约了几百万美元。

西联电讯公司又向爱迪生建议：叫他试制一部商用电话,亚历山大.贝尔已经取得了电话机的专利,但贝尔的电话讥只能在短距

离内听见。爱迪生增大了几项改进,被采用了,这些改进直到今天仍然应用在电话上。西联电讯公司为他的几项发明付给爱迪生十万美元。

1876年,爱迪生在新泽西州门洛园建造了一个车间和实验室,由于他在那里搞出了许多奇妙的发明,以后他被人们称为“洛园的巫师”。他开始研究别人为发明白热电灯所作的尝试。他一次再一次地试制一种适子家用的柔光灯。在找到,种合用的材料之前,他竟试验了两千种以上的材料。他需要某种可放在抽去空气的玻璃容器内,通过电流后能变热并发出光来的材料。他花了十万美元寻找最好的材料。他派人去印度、中国、巴西,最后终于在日本找到了。

在1880年1月,他取得了电灯专利权。爱迪生在门洛园建造了一家生产电灯的工厂,并在纽约市建成了一座发电站。但是直到过十四年公众才真正接受他的电灯。在那以后,电灯业发展得规模如此之大。以致爱迪生出售他的电灯股票时,竟得了一百多万美元。

爱迪生一生中得到一千多种发明项

国的专利为了学习更多的科学并使科学为人类服务,他永不停息。他的各种发明为世界增加的财富可能比历史上任何一个人都多。

1931年10月18月,爱迪生在新泽西州奥兰奇城的家中去世,终年八十四岁。几天后全美国都停电一分钟以纪念这个以他的发明大大改变并改善了各地人民生活的人。
