Antonio Meucci, an Italian immigrant, began developing the design of a talking telegraph or telephone __________ (4) 1849. In 1871, he filed a caveat (an announcement of an invention) for his design of a talking telegraph. Due to hardships, Meucci could not renew his caveat. His role in the invention of the telephone was overlooked until the United States House of Representatives __________ (5) a Resolution on June 11, 2002, honoring Meucci's contributions and work.

To make matters even more interesting, some researchers suggest that Elisha Gray, a professor at Oberlin College, applied for a caveat of the telephone on __________ (6) same day Bell applied for his patent of the telephone - these gentlemen didn’t actually visit the Patent Office, their lawyers did __________ (7) their behalf.

When he was 23, Bell emigrated to Canada with his parents and the next year moved to the United States to teach deaf-mute children. With his colleague Thomas Watson, Bell worked very hard on the experimentation to invent devices such as the harmonic telegraph(used to send multiple messages over a single wire) andphonautograph (used to draw the shape of the sound waves). The first telephone communication was said to have happened between Bell and Watson in 1876 while Bell was at one end of the line, and Watson worked on the telephone in other room. The first transmitted words were, ‘Mr Watson, come here. I want to see you’.

When was Alexander Graham Bell born?

Alexander Graham Bell was born in Scotland in 1847, but when he was a young man of twenty-three he moved with his parents to Canada. Before the year was over, young Graham had left his family and gone to Boston. Though Bell was a dreamer, he was also a practical thinker and a man of action. In Boston, where he worked by day as a teacher of the deaf, he worked far into the night experimenting with the electrical transmission of the sound. This led to the invention of the telephone.

I. One of the inventions made in the world of science and technology is the telephone. This instrument has become an important part in our daily life The word "telephone " comes from two Greek words" tele " and " phone". These words mean "far" and "sound". The telephone uses electricity to carry sound over distance. So you see, the two Greek words tell us exactly what the instrument does. Since its invention by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876, the design of the telephone set has changed greatly. However, the way the telephone works is still the same. I. What has become an important part in our daily life? 2. What do the words " tele" and" phone " mean? 3. How does the telephone carry sound over a distance? 4. Who invented the telephone? 5. When was the telephone invented? 6. Has the design of the telephone set changed a lot since its invention? 2.Alexander Graham Bell was born in Scotland. He emigrated to Canada first and then to the USA in 1870s In America, he worked with the deaf-mutes at Boston University. Soon, Bell started experimenting with ways of transmitting speech over a long distance. He worked with Thomas Watson, his assistant. Bell and Watson conducted many experiments. He successfully demonstrated his invention to the public at countless exhibitions, he invented the telephone. By 1877 the first telephone was in commercial use. 1. Where was Alexander Graham Bell born ? 3. Who did Bell work with at Boston University? 4. What did Bell invent ? 5. Did Bell conduct many experiments in America? 6.
