[单项选择]

Thomas Alva Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Without him, the world might still be a dark place. However, it was not his only invention. He also invented the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.
Born in Milan, Ohio, on February 11, 1847, Edison’s family moved to Port Huron, Michigan when he was seven years old. Surprisingly, he attended school for only two months. His mother taught him a few things, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. His natural curiosity led him to start experimenting at a young age with electrical and mechanical things at home.
When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train. He set up a laboratory in a baggage car of the train so that he could continue his experiments in his spare time. Unfortunately, he was fired when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the baggage car.
