Ford
1 Ford’s great strength was the manufacturing process--not invention．Long before he started
a car company，he was a worker, known for picking up pieces of metal and wire and turning them
into machines．He started putting cars together in 1 89 1, although it was by no means the first
popular automobile，the Model T showed the world just how creative Ford was at combining
technology and market．
2 The company’s assembly line alone threw America’s Industrial Revolution into overdrive
(高速运转)．Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Ford’s friends，who were great
toolmakers from Scotland，organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a
line．By the time Ford’s Highland Park plant was humming(嗡嗡作响)along in 1914，the
world’s first automatic conveyor belt could turn out a car every 93 minutes．
3 The same year Henry Ford shocked the world with t11e$5-a．day minimum Wage scheme．
the greatest contribution he had ever made．The average Wage in the auto industry then was$2.34
for a 9-hour shift．Ford not only doubled that．he also took an hour off the workday．In those
years it was unthinkable that a man could be paid that much for doing something that didn’t
involve an awful lot of training or education．The Wall Street Journal called the plan“an
economic crime’．and critics everywhere laughed at F0rd．
4 But as the wage increased later to daily$10，it proved a critical component of Ford’s dream
to make the automobile accessible(可及的)to a11 The critics were too stupid to understand that
because Ford had lowered his costs per car，the higher wages didn’t matter--except for making it
possible for more people to buy cars．

第一篇
Sleepless at Night
It was a normal summer night．Humidity(湿气)hung in the thick air．
I couldn’t go to sleep．partly because of my cold and partly because of my expectations for
the next day．My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a surprise．
Sweat stuck to my aching body．Finally, I gathered enough strength to sit up．I looked out of
my small window into the night．There was a big bright moon hanging in the sky, giving off a
magic light． 。
I couldn’t stand the pressure anymore，SO I did what I always do to make myself feel better．1
went to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste．I cleaned my teeth as if there
was no tomorrow．Back and forth，up and down．
Then 1 walked downstairs to look for some signs of movement，some life．Gladiator, my cat。
frightened me as he meowed(喵喵地唱出)his sad song．He was on t11e 01d orange couch(长沙
发)，sitting up on his front legs，waiting for something to happen．He looked at me as if to s吼
“I’m lonely, pet me．I need a good hug(紧抱)．”Even the couch begged me to sit on it．
In one movement I settled down onto the soft couch．This couch represented my parents’
marriage，my birth，and hundreds of other little events．
As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily．My mind was flooded with questions：
What’s life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down
Gladiator’s body, I had a new thought；each touch sang a different song．
I forget a11 about the heat and the next day’s surprise．The atmosphere was SO full of warmth
and silence that I sank into its alms．Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms．I felt all my
worries slowly move away．
