Thomas Edison was born in 1847.When he was a child,he liked to find out how things worked.One day when he was five,his father saw him sitting on some eggs,and asked what he was doing that for.He did not reply(回答).Instead he asked why he was not able to hatch(孵化)chickens while the hens could.
Edison was in school for only three months,but he asked a lot of strange questions.His teacher did not understand him and said that he was not bright and was not worth teaching.His mother took him out of school and taught him herself.The boy was soon reading books for grown—ups.He showed special interest in science.
By the time he was ten,he had already built a small chemistry lab of his own.He planted vegetables in his garden and sold them to buy chemicals.
Once his mother was ill.The doctor said she needed an operation at once.But it was night and the oil lamp in the room gave poor light.Edison thought hard and had an idea.He put all the oil lamps he could find on a long table.Then he placed a big mirror(鏡子)behind them.The room became quite bright.So the doctor could operate,and his mother was saved.
At the age of twelve,Edison began selling candy,sandwiches and newspapers on a train.In his spare time,he printed a newspaper on the train and sold copies to the railway workers.
One day in August,1862,Edison saw a boy playing on the tracks at a station.A train was coming near quickly,and the boy was too frightened to move.Edison rushed out and carried the boy to safety.The boy’s father was the station master.He was so thankful that he taught Edison railway telegraphy(電報學(xué)).Edison soon became very good at it and later he left home to work in different cities.This gave him a start in his life.He was then just a boy of sixteen.

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist, so he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.
The next important date in the history of photography (攝影) was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called Daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard. Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike (栩栩如生的).
Photography also became a kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.
