問題詳情：

Can you imagine what Edison’s life was like in the years after he had invented the electric lamp？

Many things had to be invented and built before electric lamps could really be used by all.

Everything which was needed had to be thought of and built by Edison and the men who worked with him. There was no place where they could buy the things they needed. Edison made 360 inventions more in order to send electric power（電力）to wherever it was wanted.

Edison directed all the work himself：testing（測試）new machines, putting wires under ground, fixing lights, and so on. He seemed to be everywhere at the same time. He wanted his men to do as much work as he did. But he never asked them to do things he himself would not do or could not do.

He had never thought much about regular（規則的，固定的）hours for sleep. He often forgot completely about sleeping. He slept for a few minutes at a time, in the middle of the night, in an underground room at his power station, with a metal box for his bed. During these days, he almost never saw his wife and their children.

Everyone probably expected Edison enjoyed his success when his work was completed. However he almost did not notice all the money and honour（榮譽）he received, because soon he became interested in other ideas.
