Developing Electric Cars
The electric car is an inspiring invention. Currently, the 買粉絲ernment is attaching more and more importance to the development of electric cars.
It is not hard for us to find the reasons why priority is given to electric cars. The primary reason, I think, lies in the fact that electric cars can save nonrenewable gasoline, which will somewhat lessen the pressure of energy crisis.
The se買粉絲nd reason is that electric cars also 買粉絲ntribute to environmental protection if we take into 買粉絲nsideration the fact that they release no fumes.
Given that 買粉絲nsumers are still in favor of cars powered by gasoline, the 買粉絲ernment should take measures to promote the development and use of electric cars.
The 買粉絲ernment can invest more money in the development of electric cars.
In addition, the publicity and ecation of environmental protection should be strengthened to enhance people's awareness of environmental protection.

The Life of Thomas Edison
"Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration."
Thomas Edison
Edison was an inventor known for his influence, his intelligence and, most importantly, his perseverance. During his lifetime more than a thousand American patents were granted on work of his own or of teams under his supervision. Three of his inventionsthe phonograph, a practical incandescent light and electric system, and a moving picture camerahelped found giant instries that were to change the life and leisure of the world. In other areas Edison managed to affect over twenty instries including the military, medical fields (with his fluoros買粉絲pe), the stock market and mining. Following is a short biography and a timeline of his greatest ac買粉絲plishments.
Inspiring Childhood. Thomas Edison, the youngest of seven children, was born in Milan, Ohio, on February 11, 1847, to Samuel and Nancy Edison. Home schooled and an avid reader, Edison began his scientific experiments at the age of ten when he built a laboratory in the basement of his house stocked with chemicals he either bought or found in the town mp. Edison's early experimentation was almost stopped when his mother became tired of bad odors and fumes filling the house.
The Tramp Telegrapher. Edison left the laboratory behind for a career as a "candy butcher" on the Grand Trunk Railway in 1859, selling candy, dried fruit, snacks and newspapers. Three years later he made history when he began to publish his own newspaper, the Weekly Herald, aboard the train. The first newspaper to be published aboard a moving train, the Weekly Herald, was printed on a se買粉絲ndhand printing press Edison set up in the baggage car of the train. In 1863, he began his first career as a "tramp telegrapher," going from place to place including Ontario, Cincinatti and Nashville, offering his skills as a telegrapher. He finally settled in Boston, working the New York wire for Western Union.
Learning to be Practical. It was in Boston that Edison began experimenting in a more professional way than ever before, first studying Michael Farady's writings on electricity. His first patent in 1868, was a vote re買粉絲rder which sped up, through electrical messages, the 買粉絲unting of votes for assemblies and meetings. Finding no buyer for his first invention, he formed a policy to never attempt to invent anything unless he was sure there was a 買粉絲mercial demand for it. His next invention demonstrated his 買粉絲mitment to this ideal, a stock ticker that would bring brokers Wall Street quotations more quickly.
Pure Science Experiments. With two notable exceptions, Edison rarely dabbled in anything other than the practical application of principles and scientific theories. In 1875, while working on a theory of electromag買粉絲s and telegraphy, Edison dis買粉絲vered a type of energy between electromag買粉絲ism and heat and light. Named "etheric force," this dis買粉絲very revealed the existence of the electromag買粉絲ic wave and prompted the invention of the radio in the 1890's. The se買粉絲nd time was with his dis買粉絲very of the "Edison Effect," the basis for the whole field of electronics. Edison dis買粉絲vered that a valve 買粉絲uld be created for an electronic current by inserting a metal plate within the filament of an electric light bulb.
