Question

【题目】阅读理解。

Henry Ford was the eldest son of a farmer. He grew up on a farm in Michigan. Like most farmers at that time, his father William hoped his eldest son would help him on the farm, but Henry was not interested in farm work at all. He did everything he could to avoid it. Once he wrote:“ What a waste it is for a man to spend hours behind a slowly moving horse.”

However, Henry was not a lazy boy. He liked to do mechanical（机械方面的） work very much. When he was twelve, he became quite interested in clocks and watches. He mended clocks and watches for his friends in his bedroom. Later he took a job as a mechanic in Detroit. He began to show great interest in steam engines (蒸汽发动机) at his time. In 1892, he built his first car. In 1908, he built the famous “Model T”. This car was so popular at that time that it was unchanged for twenty years. Five years after that he stared the Ford Motor Company.
