He was once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man full of imagination. I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1,000 inventions. In his life time, he was always eager to know how things worked, which helped him to earn the nickname “the Wizard of Melo Park”. He was also so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many great inventions. What impresses me most is his famous saying, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninetynine percent perspiration.”Probably I cannot be an Edison myself, but I can be a hardworking learner. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born, but what you are doing and how you do it in your life. 名师点评 1. 介绍人物详略有致；篇章结构清晰、明朗，内容分布严 谨、紧凑。 2. 巧妙地运用高级词汇，如Born in, a great scientist and inventor, be thought to be, be worth doing, a man full of imagination, his great contribution to the world等等。3. 巧妙地使用了常用句式：并列句、排比句、复合句，如 ：which引导的非限制性定语从句；so.that引导的结 果状语从句；why引导的宾语从句等等。 教 材 自 主 回 归 记记单词 1a_n评估_adj.可估价的， 可评价的_vt.估定价值，估价，评价 2a_vt.联想，联系_adj.联合的 ，组合的_adj.可联想的 _n协会，社团 3a_adj.学术的_n学院，大 学_adv.学术上，理论上 assessmentassessable assess associateassociated associatable association academic Academy academically 4d_vt.应应得，值值得_adj.值值得帮 助的，应应受支持的_adj.应应得的，当然的 _adv.应应得报报酬地；当然地 5a_adj.喜爱爱运动动的_n运动动 员员 6s_n满满意，满满足_vt.使高兴兴 ，使满满足_adj.感到满满意的 7a_n助手，助理_vt.帮助，协协 助_n援助，帮助 deserve deserving deserved deservedly athleticathlete satisfaction satisfy； satisfied assistant assist assistance 8a_n忧虑忧虑 ，担心_adj.焦虑虑的， 挂念的_adv.焦急地，担忧忧地 9j_vt.评评判_n审审判，判断力， 看法，意见见 10d_vt.专专心致志于，献身于 _n献身，奉献 anxiety anxious anxiously judgejudgement devote devotion 记记短语 1._(起草一个议程)，and discuss it with the group. 2_(我禁不住笑了)this and I invited her back to my apartment for a quick cup of tea.
