give easy problem when hear busy first inventor worried known
Do you know Alexander Graham Bell? He is one of the greatest 1.inventors in the world because he invented the telephone. However，he wasn’t the 2.first person to think of the idea. A man named Antonio Meucci was officially recognised( 官方认定) as the inventor in 2002. Who is Meucci，and why wasn’t he 3.known for his invention at the time?
Meucci was born in Italy in 1808. People used to communicate by letters at that time. Meucci discovered that sound could travel through metal( 金 属 ) 4.when two places were connected by wire( 导线). As a result，people in different places could 5.hear each other this way.
In 1850，Meucci and his wife moved to New York. Meucci was 6.worried about his wife because she had become very ill. He was so 7.busy that he had no time to stay with her all the time. To solve this 8.problem，he connected metal cables( 电缆) between his home and his workshop. This way，they could talk 9.easily.
Unluckily，Meucci never applied for a patent( 专利) on his invention. At the same time，Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same thing. In 1876，the patent for the telephone was 10.given to Bell.
This is why，when we talk about the telephone，most people will think of Bell but not Meucci.

答案： 1.inventors 2.first 3.known 4.when 5.hear 6.worried 7.busy 8.problem 9.easily 10.given
