Most of us think the telephone was invented(发明) by Alexander Graham Bell. 26 In fact, an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognized(官方认定) as the inventor a few years ago. Who is Meucci and why wasn’t he known for his invention at the time
Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808. He studied engineering and drawing. During his studies, Meucci started to do experiments with electricity(电). 27 When two places were connected with wire(线), people in those places could hear each other talk.
In 1850, Meucci and his wife, Ester, moved to New York. Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill. 28 To solve this problem, he connected metal cables between his home and his workshop. This way, they could talk to each other conveniently.
Meucci asked a group of people to see his new invention. They listened happily as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires. 29 Even worse, Meucci never applied for a patent(申请专利) on his invention. Meanwhile, Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same idea and in 1876 the patent for the telephone was given to him.
In 2002, more than a century after Meucci’s death, his work was finally recognized by the government. 30
A.So Bell is known in the whole world.
B.However, he wasn’t the first person to think of the idea.
C.He needed to keep in touch with her at all times.
D.He will now be known all over the world as the telephone’s inventor.

F.He found that sound could travel through metal cables(电缆).
