The History of the Christmas Tree

Thomas Edison
Thomas Edison was a famous American scientist. He was born in 1847. When he was a child, he liked to find out how things worked. He was in school for only three months. He asked his teacher a lot of strange questions. Most of them had nothing to do with his lessons. The teacher thought the boy was not bright and was not worth teaching. When he told this to Edison�s mother,she took her son out of school. As she had been a teacher,she taught him herself. The boy read a lot. Soon he became very interested in science. At the age of ten, Edison had already built a chemistry lab for himself. Ever since then, he never stopped searching for new and better ways to do things.
Thomas Edison was born on February 11, 1847 and died on October 18, 1931. He was an inventor and businessman who developed many important devices.
"The Wizard of Menlo Park" was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production to the process of invention.
In 1880 Edison founded the journal Science, which in 1900 became the journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors, holding a record 1,093 patents in his name.
Most of these inventions were not completely original but improvements of earlier patents, and were actually works of his numerous employees.
Edison was frequently criticized for not sharing the credit.
Nevertheless, Edison received patents worldwide, including the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Edison started the Motion Picture Patents Company, which was a conglomerate of nine major film studios

圣诞树的历史
用一棵常青树作为圣诞节标志的传统已经有很长的历史了。
古英格兰的德鲁伊教徒以及古欧洲的罗马人都用常青树的树枝来装饰他们的家庭和公共建筑以庆祝冬至日的来临。许多年后,这些传统被基督教徒继承了并将其作为了圣诞节庆祝的一部分。
树被用于庆祝圣诞节最早在17世纪的德国以及周边国家的历史中被提及。这些地方的家庭喜欢把树放在家里显著的位置,并用彩纸、小玩具、食物甚至有时还有蜡烛来装饰这些树。随着这些人移民到其它国家,他们也将这些习俗带到了那些国家。
在历史上,许多不同的东西都被用于装饰圣诞树。进入20世纪之后,许多树都被用爆米花条、自制的卡片和图片、雪一样的棉花、各种形状的糖果甚至有时还有一些玻璃球和玻璃小雕像来装饰。蜡烛有时也会被用来装饰,但经常带来火灾,因此各种各样的蜡烛罩被发明出来以防止火灾。在爱迪生第一次大规模的在公共场合使用电灯的三年之后,电灯也被应用到圣诞树上来了。最早的圣诞树电灯是手工制作的并且非常昂贵。
今天,随处可见各种尺寸、颜色和形状的圣诞树的装饰品,它们被用于装饰世界上数以百万计的圣诞树。
