In 1903, a doctor in Detroit, Michigan, bought the first car from the Ford Motor Company. That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford’s dream. He wanted to build good, low-priced cars for the general public. As he said many times, “I want to make a car that anybody can buy.” To keep prices low, Henry Ford decided that he would build just one kind of car. He called it the “Model T,” which enjoyed great success and popularity. People considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation. Americans loved the “Model T.” As production rose, Ford lowered prices. The last step in Ford’s production success was to raise his workers’ pay. With wages the same everywhere, factory workers often changed jobs. Henry Ford wanted loyal workers who would remain. He raised wages to $5 a day. In 1919, Henry was involved in a dispute with the other people who owned the stock in the Ford Motor Company. In the end, Henry bought the stock of the other investors. He gained complete control of the company. The investors did not do badly, however. An investment of $10 000 when the company was first established produced a return of 25 million. Henry Ford was not the first man whose name was given to an automobile. But his name, more than any other, was linked to that machine. Some still wonder if Henry Ford was a simple man who seemed difficult or a difficult man who seemed simple. No one, however, questions the fact that he made the automobile industry one of the great industries in the world.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
