A

People often said Thomas Edison was the greatest genius (天才) of his age. There are only

a few people in history, who have changed the lives of other people 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 people enjoyment and pleasure.

Edison could not understand why someone 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 people happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100

years of work.

( ) 26. What is genius according to Thomas Edison?
