Many of them, like the light bulb, the phonograph(留声机), and the motion picture camera, were brilliant creations that have a huge influence on our everyday life. However, not everything he created was a success; he also had a few failures.One concept that never took off was Edisons interest in using cement to build things. He formed the Edison Portland Cement Co. in 1899, and made everything from cabinets(for phonograph) to pianos and houses. Unfortunately, at the time, concrete was too expensive and the idea was never accepted. Cement wasnt a total failure, though. His company was hired to build Yankee Stadium in Bronx. What else do you think Edison tried to create?From the beginning of the creation of motion pictures, many people tried to combine film and sound to make “talking” motion pictures. Here you can see an example of an early film attempting to combine sound with pictures made by Edisons assistant, W.K.L.Dickson. By 1895, Edison had created the kinetophonea kinetoscope (peep-hole motion picture viewer) with a phonograph that played inside the cabinet. Sound could be heard through two ear tubes while the viewer watched the images. This creation never really took off, and by 1915 Edison abandoned the idea of sound motion pictures.The greatest failure of Edisons career was his inability to create a practical way to mine iron ore. He worked on mining methods through the late 1880s and early 1890s to supply the Pennsylvania steel factories demand for iron ore. In order to finance this work, he sold all his stock in General Electric, but was never able to create a separator that could extract(提炼) iron from unusable, low-grade ores. Eventually, Edison gave up on the idea, but by then he had lost all the money hed invested.31. Among all of his 1,093 patents, which of the following is NOT his?A. Light bulb. B. Telephone.C. Phonograph. D. Motion picture camera.32. Which failure made him lost all his investment?A. The way to mine iron ore. B. The talking motion pictures.C. Using the cement to build things. D. The light bulb.33. Why was the cement to build things not totally successful in 1899?A. Because he failed in inventing the cement.B. Because the cement was not as firm as that of today.C. Because his idea was not accepted at that time.D. Because his company closed down.34 What can we learn about Edison?A. Edison was a successful businessman.B. Edison only devoted all his time to the invention.C. Edison had only two failures.D. Edison was both an inventor and a businessman.35 What can we infer from the passage?A. Edison s
