When, I was asked to speak at the Community Book Club luncheon, I thought about several topics that might be of interest to a group of readers, and I considered doing a book review(评论)or discussing the life of a well-known literary figure(人物), but I thought I would break with tradition (传统)today in order to share some anecdotes(轶事，秘闻)from the life of a man, who ,like you, enjoyed reading.
In spite of (不管) the fact that Thomas Alva Edison had almost no formal education, spending only three months in school, his mother taught him to read at quite an early age, Between the ages of nine and twelve, he read such difficult volumes as Hume’ History of England, Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, and Newton’s Principia.
As a young man, Mr. Edison decided to read all of the books in the Detroit public library, systematically(系统地)shelf by shelf, After finishing the first fifteen feet, he decided to reconsider the task.
A few years later, in Cincinnati, his love for reading almost cost him his life. Having stayed at the library until very late, Mr. Edison returned home with a pile of old magazines for which he had paid the large sum of two dollars. Suspecting(怀疑)that he might be a thief, a policeman ordered him to stop .But Mr. Edison was too deaf to hear the order. The policeman shot and missed.
Beside the electric light, Thomas Edison is known for inventing the photograph, microphone, mimeograph(油印机) ,electric storage battery , and photographic film . Whenever he was paid for an invention, he used the money for his two loves –more experiments and more books.
A friend described Edison’s life in those busy days.” I went to visit Tom ,” he said, “and I found him sitting behind a pile of books five feet high which he had ordered from New York, Lon-don, and Paris. He studied them night and day, eating at his desk and sleeping in his chair, In six weeks he had read all of the books and had read all of the books and had performed more than two thousand experiments using the formulas that he had studied.”

There is a river in front of my house .When I was a primary school student, it used to be a clean and clear river. There were all kinds of fish in it .We often saw beautiful birds fly just over the water surface. We used to fish by the river on spring Sundays and swim in it in summer holidays. How happy it was during my childhood!
But later ,a chemical plant was built near the river. From then on, a lot of dirty water has been put into the river .It has been polluted seriously. The green water has turned dark. No fish can live in the dirty water .No birds want to come to the river. We don’t want to swim in the dark and dirty river in summer. How terrible the pollution is !
