Henry ford was the eldest
Henry Ford was the eldest son of a farmer.He grew up on a farm in Michigan Like most farmers at
that time,his father William hoped his eldest son would help him on the farm,but Henry was not interested
in farm work at all.He did everything that he could to avoid (避免) it.Once he wrote."What a waste it is
for a man to spend hours behind a slowly moving horse."
However,Henry was not a lazy boy.He liked to do mechanical (机械的) work very much When he was
twelve,he became quite interested in clocks and watches.He mended clocks and watches for his friends in his bedroom.
Later he took a job as a mechanic (技工) in Detroit.He began to show great interest in steam engines
(蒸汽发动机) at this time.In 1812,he built his first car.In 1908,he built a famous "Model T".This car was
so popular at that time that it was unchanged (没有改变) for twenty years.Five years after that he started
the Ford Motor Company.
