怎样学好牛津英语系列答案The car was invented just a hundred years ago. You may know all kinds of the cars' names, but many people don' t know who was the inventor of the first car. The first car was invented by an American. His name was Henry Ford.
Henry was born in a poor family. He was the oldest of six children. When he was a boy, he became interested in watches and machines. When he was twelve years old, his mother died. Soon he had to work in a machine shop for two dollars and fifty cents（美分）a week. In the evening he repaired watches for another dollar a week. The hard life made him strong and able. He wished to make a machine. It could run without a horse, so named horseless carriage. He worked hard and in April, 1893, the "horseless carriage"（无马马车）was invented at last. It was the first car. So Henry Ford was really the inventor of the first car in the world.
