Riches and Romance From Frante’S Wine Harvest
 
   September is harvest time．And with bunches of grapes swinging(摇摆)in the wind，the vineyards of southern France are getting ready to celebrate it．
   The yearly wine festival is held in honor of Bacchus，the Roman god of wine．It’s a fun time with parties，music，dancing，big meals and，of course，lots of wine．
   French wine-making began more than 2,500 years ago．The world’s oldest type of vine grows in France and always produces a good quality wine．Today France produces one-fifth of the world’s wine，and some of the most famous varieties．
    The top wine-producing areas are Bordeaux，Burgundy and the Loire Valley．Champagne，a drink used in celebrations，is named after the place where sparkling(有汽泡的)wine was first produced in 1700．
   Wine is made from the juice of freshly picked grapes．It is the sugars that turn into alcohol．
Traditionally, people used to take off their shoes and crush the grapes with their bare feet to bring out the juice．Nowadays，this practice is usually carried out by machines．
   Each wine producing region has its own character，based on its type of grapes and soil．
   The taste of wine changes with time．Until 1 850, a11 French champagne was sweet．Now, both wine and champagne taste slightly bitter．
   The drink has always been 1inked with riches，romance and nobleness．Yet the French think of it in more ordinary terms．
   They believe it makes daily living easier,1ess hurried and with fewer problems．
  “A11 its links are with times when people are at their best；with relaxation，happiness，long
slow meals and the free flow of ideas，”wrote wine expert Hugh Johnson．

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 1 891 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 the $5一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 all awful lot of training or education．The Wall Street Journal called the plan“an economic crime”，and critics everywhere laughed at Ford．
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．
