2.(2011·辽宁卷)C
Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车). 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 ear 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 the
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 modem 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.
