In 1900, people didn't travel very fast or very far. There was no plane. And only a few people had cars. And at that time, the car cost a lot and each worker had to make all the parts of the car by himself. At that time, trains were very popular among people.Then, in 1903, two things happened in America. They changed the way we travel. Firstly, two brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, invented (发明 ) the first plane. Their first plane only flew for 12 seconds! Then, Henry Ford built a car factory. He wanted to make cheaper cars. The cars were all of the same design (设计). The doors were the same on all cars, so it was easy to make many cars. In 1913, Ford's car workers cooperated(合作) to make a car. Each worker did one small job on lots of cars over and over. The job was easier to learn and they made the car much faster. Ford only made his cars in one color - black, because this helped to make them cheaper. Then, America was full of black cars of the same design!
