Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile. But Henry Forddid not start to build his first car until 1896. That was eleven years aftertwo Germans developed the world's first automobile. Many people believe HenryFord invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker,instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Manyfactory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did wasto use other people's ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factorya moving production line.
In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced hiscars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to builda racing car. Ford's most famous race was his first one. It was also the lastrace in which he drove the car himself.
The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famouscars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton and Ford's. The Winton wasfamous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.
The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began tolose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took thelead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapersand he became well-known all over the United States. Within weeks of the race,Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit boughtthe first car from the company. Thatsale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said: "I will builda motor car for the great mass of people. It will be large enough for thefamily, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will bebuilt of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed.And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering canproduce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will beunable to own one."
The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850. It was a simplemachine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So didfarmers, even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form oftransportation. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs aboutit. Thousands of Model Ts were built in the first few years.

"Don't tellanyone". We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us. But it canbe hard to keep a secret. We're often tempted to "spill the beans ",even if we regret it later.
According to Asim Shah, professor in theMenninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College ofMedicine, US, keeping a secret may well "become a burden". This isbecause people often have an "obsessive （无法摆脱的） and anxious urge toshare it with someone".
An earlier study, led by Anita E. Kelly, ascientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secretcould cause stress. People entrusted with secrets can suffer from depression,anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.
But with secrets so often getting out, why dopeople share them at all? Shah explained that people often feel that it willhelp them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets isguilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust candevelop when people who are close do not share it with each other."Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of eithergaining or losing the trust of someone." according to Shah.
He added that talkative people could letsecrets slip out. But this doesn't mean that it is a good idea only to sharesecrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everythinginside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make themtalk about the secret．
Shah saidthat to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you'd better put yourself intheir position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn't givethe information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give upsomeone's secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know that theirsecret isn't so secret anymore.

9.A personwho is entrusted with a secret
A. is oftenobsessed with a certain threat
B. oftenwould rather not have been told about it

A. Quietpeople are more likely to keep the secrets to themselves．
B. Sharingsecrets helps establish friendship or get over the sense of guilt．
C. It'sbetter to inform others of the chances of your leaking secrets beforehand．
D. Puttingyourself in others' shoes helps realize the difficulty of keeping secrets．

Why I Love Cycling
One of the first things I did when I moved toa new city was to hire a bike. Why was that? 16 Youtravel much faster than on foot and you notice so much more of yoursurroundings than when in a bus or a car. It's more appealing to wander downsmall streets if they seem interesting, as you can quickly get back to the mainroad.
Besides, I soon discovered plenty morebenefits to cycling.
Having a bike means that fewer places,especially in a small city like the one where I live now, feel far away. For example,cycling to work takes me half the time that it would to walk. 17
Of course, there are obvious health benefitsof cycling - a bit of extra movement as part of your daily routine can help youkeep fit and healthy. Cycling on my way to work also makes me feel moreenergetic in the mornings.
18 While cars pollute the environment, bikes arecarbon-neutral. Furthermore, thanks to being petrol-free, bikes are cheaper torun, buy and fix than cars. Even if you don't own a car, a bike can pay foritself when compared to the price of bus tickets.
19 Always wear a helmet, pay attention to othertraffic and don't forget your lights at night. Make sure you know the roadrules, especially in a new place. Some cities are more cycle-friendly thanothers. 20 Luckily, where I live now is pretty easyto ride a bike around, thanks to having lots of cycle lanes and not too manyhills!
A. However, be careful whencycling.
B. I have to learn to ride safelyon the right of the road.
C. Importantly, cycling also helpsto reduce your carbon footprint.
D.And sometimes city roads aredifficult or unpleasant for cyclists.
E. Riding a bike also means you'renot restricted by bus timetables.
F. Seeing a city by bike is idealfor settling in and learning your way around.
