Ford
1 Ford&39;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 men into machines. He started putting cars together in 1891. 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.
The company&39;s assembly line alone threw America&39;s Industrial Revolution into overdrive (高速运转). Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Ford&39;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&39;s Highland Park plant was humming (嗡嗡作响) along in 1914,the world&39;s first automatic conveyor belt could turn out a car every 93 minutes.
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&39;t involve an 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&39;s dream to make the automobile accessible (可及的) to all. The critics were too stupid to understand that because Ford had lowered his costs per car, the higher wages didn&39;t matter—— except for making it possible for more people to buy cars.

The Need to Remember
Some people say they have no memory at all: "I just can&39;t remember a thing!" But of course,we all have a memory. Our memory tells us who we are. Our memory helps us to make use in the present of what we have learnt in the past.
In fact, we have different types of memory. For example, our visual memory helps us recall facts and places. Some people have such a strong visual memory, they can remember exactly what they have seen, for example, pages of a book, as a complete picture.
Our verbal (言语的) memory helps us remember words and figures we may have heard butnot seen or written: items of a shopping list, a chemical formula, dates, or a recipe.
With our emotional memory, we recall situations or places where we had strong feelings,perhaps of happiness or unhappiness. We also have special memories for smell, taste, touch and sound, and for performing physical movements.
We have two ways of storing any of these memories: Our short-term memory stores items for up to thirty seconds- enough to remember a telephone number while we dial. Our long-term memory, on the other hand, may store items for a lifetime. Older people in fact have a much better long-term memory than short-term. They may forget what they have done only a few hours ago, but have the clearest remembrance (记忆) of when they were very young.
Psychologists tell us that we only remember a few facts about our past, and that we invent the rest. It is as though we remember only the outline of a story. We then make up the details. We often do this in the way we want to remember them, usually so that we appear as the heroes of our own past-- or maybe victims needing sympathy (同情).
