阅读理解。 Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more

题目内容：

阅读理解。 Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents on inventions than any other American.

When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him.

One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total blackout. All electric power

would be shut off in homes, streets, and factories. Perhaps his suggested plan made Americans

realize fully what Edison and his inventions mean to them. Electric power was too important to

the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion. A blackout

was out of the question.

On the day of Edison's funeral, many people silently dimmed their lights. In this way they honoured

the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen's

fingertips.1．This selection says that Thomas Edison ________.
