Ford
1 Ford’s great strength was the manufacturing .ring 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. A1though it was by no means the first
popular automobile，the Model T showed the world use 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 F0rd’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 the$5.a．day minimum Wage scheme．
the greatest contribution he had ever made．The average wage in the auto industry then was$2.34
for a 9.hour shift．Ford not only doubled that．he also took an hour off the workday．In those
years it was unthinkable that a man could be Paid that much for doing something that didn’t
involve an awful lot of training or education．The wall Street Journal called the plan“all
economic crime”．and critics everywhere 1aughed at Ford．
4  But as the wage increased later to daily$i0，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 F0rd had 10wered his costs per car ,the higher wages didn’t matter--except for making it
possible for more people to buy Cars．    ，

26 Paragraph 4                
A Ford’s Followers

第一篇
U．S．Blacks Hard·hit by Cancer
    Death rates for cancer are falling for all Americans．but black Americans are still more
likely to die of cancer than whites，the American Cancer Society said Monday
    In a special report on cancer and blacks，the organization said blacks are usually diagnosed
with cancer later than whites，and they are more likely to die of the disease．
  This could be because of unequal(不平等的)access to medical Care。Because blacks are
more likely to have other diseases as well，and perhaps because of differences in the biology(生
物学)of the can cancer itself, the report added．
    “In general，black Americans have less hope of surviving five years after diagnosis thail
whites for all cancer sites and all stages of diagnosis．”the report said．
