【美国人物志】菲洛·泰勒·法恩斯沃(3/9)
75年前电视在旧金山郊外的一间实验室里诞生了。它的创造者是年仅21岁的美国男孩菲洛·法恩斯沃思。在20世纪的大部分时间里，他几乎被人们遗忘了———尽管他的发明塑造了20世纪，甚至从某种意义上成为这个世纪的特征。Hint:

http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201206/201206100920305311132.mp3Philo Farnsworth was born on August 19th, 1906, near Indian Creek in the western state of Utah. The house he lived in for the first few years of his life had no electric power. But Philo read about electricity. He was very excited when his family moved to a new house in Idaho that had electric power. He quickly began to experiment with electricity. He built an electric motor when he was 12. Then he built the first electric washing machine for clothes that his family had ever owned. Philo Farnsworth attended a very small school near his family's farm. He did very well in school. He asked his teacher for special help in science. The teacher began helping Philo learn a great deal more than most young students could understand.
