E. Choosethebestanswer(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)
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 toprotect structures to this day.

B. That objects made of wood were easy to catch fire.
C . That electricity could be quickly conducted in wet objects.
