When he was a boy, he became interested in mending 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 a week. In the evenings he repaired watches for another dollar a week. The hard life made him strong and able.

At that time there was another interest in the life of the young ford. He dreamed(梦想) to make a machine. It could run without a horse, so named “horseless carriage.” He over-came(克服) a lot of difficulties and in April 1893, the “horseless carriage” was finally finished. It was the first car.

Later Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company(福特汽车公司). He was really the first inventor of the car in the world.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’m here today to share a good lesson with you. It is a true story about an overseas student   71  in Germany.
After years of hard work, this student graduated with amazing achievements. Everyone thought he was going to get a good   72  easily and have a bright future. But to his disappointment, he was not even given the   73  for an interview! The third time he was refused, he couldn’t help telephoning the company to ask   74   they didn’t want him. The answer was simple. “We don’t offer jobs to   75   people in Germany.”
What was wrong, you might wonder? The truth is, shortly after he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was   76  to skip buying subway tickets. So   77   save money, he often went without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket in the subway
  78   times.
From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits in dishonest ways, but the truth will   79  sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember: honesty is the   80  rule.
That’s all for my speech. Thank you!

A young man was in love with a beautiful girl. One day the girl said to him, “It is my birthday tomorrow.”“ Oh,” said the young man, “I’ll send you roses, and one rose for each year of your life.”
The same evening he went to the flower shop. As he knew the girl was twenty-two years old, he paid for twenty-two roses and asked the shop assistant to send them to the girl the next day. The assistant of the flower shop knew the young man very well as he often bought flowers in his shop before. When the young man left the shop, the assistant thought, “The young man is very kind to me. He often comes to buy my flowers. In return I’ll send ten more roses.”
He did so. The next morning thirty-two roses were sent to the girl. When the young man came to see her, she didn’t want to speak to him. And he never knew why she was so angry with him.
