单选题
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, hut Henry was not interested in
farm work at all. He did everything he could to avoid 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(机械方面的) 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 bed- room. Later he took a
job as a mechanic in Detroit. He began to show great interest in steam
engines(蒸汽发动机) at this time. In 1892, he built Iris first car. In 1908, he built
the famous "Model T". This car was so popular at that time that it was unchanged
for twenty years. Five years after that he started the Ford Motor
Company.
