When Edison he was twelve, he began to sell newspapers. He traveled on American trains and printed his newspapers on them.

He has to leave the train, and all his instruments and newspapers had to go with him.After that he did not print any more newspapers on trains. Perhaps the story that follows explains the next part of his life. One day he was talking to a friend, Jim Mackenzie. During the conversation Edison looked up and saw a small boy on the railway line. The boy was Mackenzie’s son, and a train was coming, Edison rushed （冲）on the line in front of the train. He pulled the boy away before the train reached them.

Y ou can’t have printing without paper. In 105 AD, Cai Lun invented paper in China. Long before the printing andInternet, Cai Lun’s invention allowed us to write down information, stories andhistory.One of the simplest(最简单) inventions to save life is the toilet. Before toilets, waste ran into the rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common (普通的) in bigcities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.Animal food is another invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in the winter. After hay (干草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.Reading glasses is the fourth invention. People start getting far-sighted (远视) from the age of 45. Glasses mean that anyone can read, write and do “close work”after that age. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for the people above 45.( )41 How many inventions are mentioned(提到) in the passage?A. Four.B. Six.C. Seven.D.
