解题过程：
Thomas Edison
Born in America, Thomas Edison was a great scientist and inventor.He was once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating.In fact, he was a man full of imagination. I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1000 inventions. In his life time, he was always eager to know how things worked, which helped him to cam the nickname “the Wizard of Melo Park”.He was also so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many great inventions. What impresses me most is his famous saying. “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration”. Probably I cannot be an Edison myself, but I can be a hardworking learner. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born，but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.
出身于美国的爱迪生是一名伟大的科学家和发明家，可他曾被认为是一个不值得的教育的孩子，其实他是一个充满想象的人。我很欣赏爱迪生，因为他为世界做出了杰出的贡献 。他有1000多项发明。 在他一生中他总想弄清楚事情的来龙去脉，这使得他获得了“the Wizard of Melo Park”的绰号 。他很勤勉白天黑夜不停地工作 。这就是他为什么能有这么多发明的原因 。最让我印象深刻的是他的那句格言“天才是百分之一的灵感加百分之九十九的汗水”。也许我自己成不了爱迪生但我可以是勤奋的学习者 。从他身上我知道了成功的奥秘不是你何时何地出生而是在你的一生中做什么怎样做。
要点：爱迪生的国籍、身份；他的贡献；他成功的原因；他的箴言；从他身上能够学到的东西。
