Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽車(chē)).But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896.That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile.Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker,instead of making the worker move to the parts.That is not true,either.Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford.What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better.And he made the whole factory a moving production line.

In the early days of the automobile,almost every car maker raced his cars.It was the best way of gaining public notice.Henry Ford decided to build a racing car.Ford's most famous race was his first one.It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.

The race was in 1901,at a field near Detroit.All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left:the Winton and Ford's.The Winton was famous for its speed.Most people thought the race was over before it began.

The Winton took an early lead.But halfway through the race, it began to lose power.Ford started to gain.And near the end of the race, he took the lead.Ford won the race and defeated the Winton.His name appeared in newspapers and he became well?known all over the United States.Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company.In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.That_sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream.Ford said: “I will build a motor car for the great mass of people.It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for.It will be built of the best materials.It will be built by the best men to be employed.And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce.It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”

The Model T was a car of that kind.It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on.Doctors bought the Model T.So did farmers.Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation.Americans loved the Model T.They wrote stories and songs about it.Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.

1.What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1?

A.He made good use of ideas from others.

D.He invented the production line.

Dear Mandy,

I'm not doing well in my lessons at school,especial in maths. My dad says I must try hard be­cause he wants me go to university. He thinks I'm lazy,but it's not true. I work really hard,often study late into the night! I've tried to talk to my mother,but she always said I have to work as hard like my brother does. My brother doesn't study very hard,and he always gets excellent grades. It's not fair!

The only thing I like it is art. My teacher says I'm the best student she's had for year. When I told my dad,all he said was,“ You mustn’t waste your time in art. You must focus your mind on your lessons! ”

I'm feeling quite puzzling as to what to do now. Would you please help me out?

Thanks a lot!

Yours sincerely, Lisa
