He was able to sell millions ofthem because he "mass-produced" them;that is, he made a great many oars of ex-aotly the same type. Henry Ford's fatherhad hoped that his son would become afarmer, but the young man did not like theidea and went to Detroit where he workedas a mechanic. By the time he was twen-ty-nine, in 1892, he had built his first car.The first mass-produced car in the world,the famous "Model T" appeared in 1908five years after Henry had started hisgreat Ford Motor Company. This carproved to be so popular that it remainedunchanged for twenty years. Since HenryFord ' s time, mass-production tech-niqueshave become common in industryand have reduced the price of a greatmany products which otherwise would bevery expensive.①mechanic n.技工②techniquen.技术Comprehension:1.Why was Henry Ford famous?A.He is a well known builder.B.He is a good mechanic.C.He is the first one to build carD.He is the first one to mass—produce cars2.When did Henry Ford started Ford MoIorCompany?A.1892 B.1908 C.1903 D.1913亨利。福特亨利。福特是第一个大量生产速度快、结实耐用而又价格低廉汽车的人。他能够卖成千上万的车,因为他大批量生产汽车,也就是说他大量生产的几乎完全是一个型号的汽车。亨利的父亲曾希望他的儿子长大成为一个农场主。但这个年轻人不喜欢父亲的主意,而是去了底特律成了一个技工。在1892年29岁的时候,他已经制造出了他的第一辆汽车。世界上第一批大量生产的汽车一世界闻名的“T型”汽车一一.出现在1908年,也就足亨利创建他的伟大的福特汽车公司后的第五年。这种车事实证明是很受欢迎的,因为在后来的20年内.一直保持厂原来的车型而未发生变化。从亨利·福特的时代起,在工业领域大批量生产的生产技术变得普通,从而降低了原来昂贵高品的价格。Thomas Edison When Thomas Edison was 15, a trainaccident injured his ears.

前言如何使学习与快乐相伴,同时又获得显著的学习效果,这是教育的永恒命题,也是教育无止境的追求。当我们不再埋首于令人憋闷的习题集中,而是轻松漫步于学习演练中,向着目标持续行进之时,美好的变化常常就会不请自来:知识会在不知不觉中浸润你的脑海,能力会在潜移默化中获得提高,而这一切。都是在快乐的过程中,暗暗完成的。“英语巧克力书系”,就是一套追求快乐与效果相结合的英语助学用书。它丝毫没有替代一般辅导用书功用的妄想。而是试图以轻松的面貌出现在你的面前,相伴你的学习进程。“精短、易学、耐读、好看”,是它追求的目标。我们期望它像巧克力一样既食而有味,又能给人以营养;在我们的汁划中。它是一份荟萃口语、阅渎、写作于一体的营养套餐,供你享用、回味。本册《开心超市》,精选各类幽默100篇,配以扼要的词汇注释和练习,可供中级或中级以上英语水平的渎者阅读、赏玩。选文中活词较多,句式也较为多变,有别于一般幽默读物,因而对读者的语言学习也应有额外帮助。全书按幽默效果产生的原由及幽默的题材,将百篇短文系统分为9个人类,渎者在读赏之余,因此也可以略知幽默产生的一些机理。这9类是:“傻瓜幽默” 一展示人的种种蠢相或憨态,捧腹之余。或可一笑了之’或可引以为诫;“原来如此”——犹如相声中的“包袱”抖开.令人豁然看到现象和本质、原因和结果等等之间匪夷所思或扭曲的联系,不禁大悦;“语言幽默”——通过语词的佯谬、误会或肆意曲解等手段,从而产生颇有文化意味的幽默效果;“儿童幽默”——无论是儿童的天真无忌,还是小小伎俩,都使人觉得妙趣横生;“智慧妙语”——给智慧戴上喜剧的面具,妙不可言;“啼笑皆非”——或展示尴尬,或展示荒谬,或展示误会,令人哭笑不得;“自有解法”——千丝乱麻,可一剪了之’关山刀重,可一水击穿,而有些荒唐的提问,自可以笑答’不必正色;“‘讽’话连篇”一几乎篇篇都是讽刺短剧,可当寓言捧读;最后,“莫名其‘妙”’——基本上是上述分类所不能涵盖的幽默短篇’亦妙不可言,留待读者发掘幽默的机理,归类命名。东方粟2002年12月
