Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. (4 points)
 Thomas Edison was born on February 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio. He struggled at school but learned to love 
reading and conducting experiments from his mother at home. At age 15, Edison became a "tramp telegrapher." 
Edison began working on the telegraph and invented a version that could send four messages at once. He started his 
famous laboratory at Menlo Park, New Jersey. In 1877, Edison invented the phonograph. The phonograph was a 
machine that recorded and played back sounds. In 1878, Edison invented the light bulb as well as the power grid 
system, which could generate electricity and deliver it to homes through a network of wires. He subsequently started 
the Edison Electric Light Company in October of 1878. Edison continued to invent and make significant 
contributions to X-ray technology, storage batteries and motion pictures. Edison worked until his death on October 
18, 1931.
