Many things had to be invented and built before the electric lamp could really be used by all. Everything that was needed had to be thought of and built by Edison and the men who worked with him. There was no place where they could buy the things they needed. Edison made 360 inventions more in order to send electric power to wherever it was wanted.

He wanted his men to do as much work as he did. But he never asked them to do things that he himself would not do or could not do. He had never thought much about regular hours for sleep; he often forgot pletely about sleeping. He slept for a few minutes at a time, in the middle of the night, in an underground room at his power station, with a metal box as his bed. During these days, he almost never saw his wife and children. Everyone probably expected that Edison enjoyed his success when his work was pleted.

Zhous son paid a man 25 yuan and asked him to be his “father” at a parents meeting! “I did badly in my exams and I was afraid my father would find out,” says the boy. “I didnt want him to be unhappy with me.”The boy is not the only student to do that. Six of his classmates have used their pocket money to do that.Most of them played the trick because they were afraid of the punishment. A few just didnt want to make their parents feel angry.Teachers say that parents are to blame (负责) for kids buying “fathers”. “Parents are demanding (要求) too much of their children,” they say. “Junior students often cannot meet their demands.
