His mother, who was a former teacher, imparted some knowledge to him, but Thomas largely taught himself. His innate curiosity drove him to begin experimenting early on.

Thomas Alva Edison illuminated the world with his electric light invention. While the electric light is perhaps his most famous creation, it was far from his only one. He also developed the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and more than 1,200 other inventions. He introduced a new creation approximately every two weeks.

He dedicated 16 hours of each day to work. At times, his work was so consuming that his wife had to remind him to rest and eat.

Thomas Edison passed away at 84 years old on October 18th, 1931, at his home in West Orange, New Jersey. His legacy includes countless inventions that enhanced lives globally.

Hướng dẫn dịch

Thomas A. Edison được sinh ra ở Milan, Ohio vào ngày 11 tháng 2 năm 1847. Khi ông mới bảy tuổi, gia đình ông chuyển đến Port Huron, Michigan. Thú vị thay, ông chỉ có hai tháng đi học. Mẹ ông, một giáo viên cũ, đã dạy ông một số kiến thức, nhưng Thomas chủ yếu tự học. Tính hiếu kỳ bẩm sinh đã khiến ông bắt đầu khám phá từ khi còn nhỏ.

Thomas Alva Edison đã làm sáng thế giới bằng phát minh đèn điện. Dù đèn điện rất hữu ích, nhưng không phải là phát minh duy nhất của ông. Ông còn phát minh ra máy ghi âm, máy quay phim và hơn 1.200 sáng chế khác. Khoảng hai tuần, ông tạo ra một phát minh mới.

Ông làm việc 16 giờ mỗi ngày, đôi khi ông làm việc căng thẳng đến mức vợ phải nhắc nhở ông ăn uống và nghỉ ngơi.

Thomas Edison qua đời ở tuổi 84 vào ngày 18 tháng 10 năm 1931, tại khu đất của ông ở West Orange, New Jersey. Ông đã để lại nhiều phát minh giúp nâng cao chất lượng cuộc sống toàn cầu.

C. READING SECTION

Read the passage and then answer the questions provided (2.5pts)

Are you seeking an affordable, clean, and efficient power source that avoids pollution and doesn't deplete natural resources? Solar energy from the Sun is your answer.

Currently, our electricity is largely derived from coal, gas, oil, or nuclear sources. However, the Sun could provide this power. Just one percent of the solar energy that reaches Earth is sufficient to meet the entire population's energy needs.

Numerous nations have adopted solar energy. Solar panels installed on rooftops harness the Sun's power to heat water. This energy can be stored for several days, ensuring availability even on cloudy days.

Sweden boasts a sophisticated solar energy initiative. By 2015, all buildings there are expected to be heated by solar power, and vehicles will operate on solar energy rather than gasoline.

Questions:

1. Is solar energy a viable and efficient power source?

2. Where are solar panels installed?

3. For how long can solar energy be stored?

4. When will solar energy replace gasoline for cars in Sweden?

5. Is solar energy currently being utilized in Vietnam?
