Work hours vary from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1646 hours a year at work. In

Benjamin Franklin is remembered today for many things . He participated in the creation of the
United States . He also earned fame as a writer , a civil leader (民间领袖) and a businessman . But
nothing compares to his experiments with electricity .
Electric experiments were enjoyed as entertainment in Franklin’s day.And Franklin knew how to
have fun with the . Guests attending a party at his home might be surprised at the sight of his silverware
(银器) giving off sparks(火花)!
But Franklin also was quite serious about electricity. He was the first person to have used the
terms “positive”and “negative”to refer to an electrical charge( 电 荷 ) . He was also the first person to
describe the transfer of electric energy as “charging (充电) . ”
Franklin loved to use his research to solve practical problems. Since many structures in his hometown
were made of wood, they could easily catch fire during violent storms when struck by lightning.
Sometimes a fire could spread and burn the whole town down to the ground. Franklin believed he could
prevent such tragedies. He suspected (怀疑) that lightning was, in fact, electricity .
To prove his theory , Franklin decided to fly a kite during a thunderstorm.To attract an electrical charge
from lightning , he attached a pointed wire to the tip of a silk kite . To the other end of the kite , he
attached a string. Franklin then attached a metal key and a section of silk string which he kept dry in
his hand. When the kite “caught”an electrical charge, it traveled down the wet string to the key . Franklin
was excited to feel an electric spark when he touched the charged key . He used a Leydenjar (莱顿瓶)
to collect the electric charge .
Franklin’s experiment was extremely dangerous . No one should ever try it today. It did lead ,
however, to another Franklin invention — the lightning rod ( 避 雷 针 ) . A lightning rod is a pointed
metal spike that is attached to a roof. It often is the tallest object on a tall building. It “catches”the
electrical charge from lightning and conducts it safely down to the ground through an attached wire . In
Franklin’s day, lightning rods saved barns, churches , homes and other buildings from being damaged
or destroyed by fire.This invention continues to protect structures to this day.教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333
