As a child, Edison was very curious and always asked many questions. He didn't do well in school, but his mother taught him at home. Edison started working at a young age and never stopped learning. He wanted to invent things that could help people. In 1879, Edison invented the first practical light bulb. Before that, people used candles and oil lamps for light. His invention changed the world forever. Edison didn't give up easily. He tried thousands of times before he succeeded. He once said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Edison's story teaches us that great inventors are not born — they are made through hard work, curiosity, and persistence. ( )1. Where was Thomas Edison born? A. In England. B. In the United States.

They are created to solve problems or make life better. Throughout history, humans have invented many things that have changed the world. The wheel, which was invented over 5,000 years ago, helped people transport goods more easily. The printing press, invented in the 15th century, made it possible to produce books quickly and cheaply. The internet, invented in the late 20th century, has connected the world in ways we never imagined. What drives people to invent? Often, it is a desire to solve a problem or to make something easier. Sometimes, inventors are driven by curiosity — they simply want to know if something is possible. Many inventions come from observing everyday life and asking, "How could this be better?" Inventions don't happen overnight. They require creativity, patience, and a willingness to fail and try again. Good inventions are not always the most complex ones — sometimes the simplest ideas have the biggest impact. ( )6. What is the main purpose of inventions according to the passage? A.

It has been around for over 200 years. The first bicycle, called the "running machine," was invented by a German man named Karl von Drais in 1817. It had no pedals — riders pushed their feet on the ground to move forward. In the 1860s, French inventors added pedals to the front wheel. This made the bicycle faster and easier to ride. However, the front wheel was very large, making it difficult to control. In the 1880s, the "safety bicycle" was invented. It had two wheels of the same size and a chain drive. This is the type of bicycle we use today. The bicycle has changed the way people travel. It is cheap, environmentally friendly, and good for health. Today, billions of bicycles are used around the world. They are especially popular in cities where traffic is heavy. The bicycle is a simple invention, but it has made a huge difference to people's lives. 1. Who invented the first bicycle? ________________________________________________ 2.
