Jerry Lawson had a love of science and invention from a very young age. And, with the support of his
family and teachers, he took that love and helped change the world for billions of people, when he invented the
modem video game cartridge.
Both of Jerry's parents supported his love of science and invention. His father, a longshoreman, was a science
fan and encouraged Jerry to always experiment with things. Jerry's first-grade teacher helped encourage him on
his path to be someone influential similar to George Washington Carver, a great AfricanAmerican inventor. His first
love in school was chemistry but he ended up liking electronics（电子学）even more.
He earned an amateur ham radio license at age 13 and built his own radio station in his room, with an
antenna hanging out of his window! Jerry earned money from fixing television sets, visiting people's homes for
inhouse repair, and also working at local electronics stores. Jerry also made walkie-talkies and sold them to other
kids. He spent many Saturdays at an electronics store that had all of the parts he needed for his inventions. He
would use his small allowance and money he earned to buy parts to help fuel his inventions.
When he was a young adult, Jerry joined Fairchild Semiconductor as an engineer. During this time, he created
his own video arcade game（街机游戏），Demolition Derby, in his garage.
A few years later, Jerry was asked to work on a secret project. Not even his boss was allowed to know what he was doing! What it turned out to be was that he was designing the Fairchild Channel F video gameconsole（游戏控制器）and leading the team that invented the video game cartridge. This was the first of its kind and enabled
kids around the world to affordably play video games at home.
Just like with automobiles，many advances have occurred since the inventionof video games. Video games
are now one of the biggest forms of entertainment in the world. But all of this would not have been possible
without the vision, passion, and skill of Jerry Lawson and his learn.
4. How did Jerry earn money when he was a teenager?
A. By running his radio station. B. By selling television sets.
C. By repairing things for others. D. By making electronic parts.
