A

Henry Ford was born on July 30, 1863 in Michigan. At an early age, he showed an interest in mechanical (机械的) things. In 1879, sixteen-year-old Ford left home for the nearby city of Detroit to work.

In 1891, Ford became an engineer with the Edison Illuminating Company of Detroit. Then, he became the Chief Engineer in 1893. This gave him enough time and money to pay attention to his personal experiments (实验).

Henry Ford realized his dream of producing a car with the model T (T型车) in 1908. This car started a new era (时代) in personal transportation. It was easy to operate, and immediately became a huge success.

By 1918, half of all cars in America were Model Ts. To meet the growing need for the Model T, Ford’s company opened a large factory. In this factory workers worked at the same place all the time. A belt sent the parts of the cars to workers. They added one part to each car as it moved past them on the line. The introduction of the moving assembly line (装配线) greatly improved production of cars and cut down the costs. Ford’s production of Model Ts made his company the largest car company in the world.

The company began building the world’s largest industrial center along the banks of the Rouge River during the late 1910s and early 1920s. By September 1927, all steps in the producing process took place at the vast Rouge Plant, characterizing Henry Ford’s idea of mass production (大批量生产).

26．When did Henry Ford begin to show his interest in machinery?

A．When he was still a child. B．When he began to work in Detroit.

C．When he became an engineer. D．When he became the Chief Engineer.

27．Which of the following is TRUE about the Model T?

A．It was produced in 1980. B．Few people liked driving it.

C．People found it hard to operate it. D．It made Henry Ford’s dream come true.

28．Why did the company open a large factory?

A．To offer more job chances. B．To make the new cars cheaper.

C．To meet the need of for Model Ts. D．To make the production easier.
