Thomas Edison was a great American inventor. When he was 7 years old, his mother had an appendectomy(阑尾手术). But it was too dark. So Edison put mirrors near oil lamps to light up the room.

The story is in a Chinese textbook for primary school students by People’s Education Press. But the publisher recently said it will remove(去除) the story. That’s because many people think it’s not true. Many believe that the world’s first appendectomy was in 1886. But when Edison’s mother had the so-called appendectomy, it was 1854.

The publisher also said it will avoid using some other fake(假的) stories. For example, there’s a story about the first US President George Washington. The story says young Washington cut down a cherry tree in the yard of his house. But in fact, there was no cherry tree in the area at that time.

So what’s the problem? Experts say that some editors care too much about the educational meaning of a story and fail to check first if the story is true.

The publisher says, in the future, they will pay greater attention to the truth of the stories in the textbook. “We will invite experts to check our stories,” it said in a statement.

1.The information about Tomas Edison is true EXCEPT ________.

A.He was from America. B.He was great.

C.He was a president. D.He was an inventor.

2.Tomas Edison born in ________.

A.1861 B.1847 C.1886 D.1854

3.Why will publisher remove these two stories?

A.Because they are not interesting.

B.Because they happened a long time ago.

C.Because they are true.

D.Because they are not true.

4.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A.People didn’t have appendectomy until 1886.

B.Thomas Edison was very smart when he was 7.

C.Young Washington couldn’t cut down a cherry tree in his yard.

D.Thomas Edison didn’t put up mirrors near oil lamps to light up the room.

5.What is the main idea of the story?

A.Expert will be invited to check the stories before they are put into use.

B.Some editors care about the educational meaning as well as the truth of the stories.

C.Even educational stories will be cut off Chinese textbooks if they fail to be true.

D.Students should learn from the great men’s stories because they have educational meaning.
