Dear Farah,Last Sunday I went to Arashiyama Autumn Festival. Arashiyama is a mountainous area on the outskirt

of Kyoto. I went there with my family.We left home early, around 8 o’clock. First, we went to Kyoto station by train. From the station we took

a bus to Arashiyama. But we had to stand in a very long line before we could get on the bus. Many people wanted to go there. This festival is really popular.

We got off the bus about 1 kilometer from Arashiyama. The traffic was very busy so we decided to walk instead. Many other people also walked with us. Nobody was in a hurry. On the way, we stopped several times to admire the autumn leaves. I like maple trees the most. The leaves are yellow, greenish yellow, orange, reddish orange and even dark red. It was so amazing.

When we arrived, the festival already started. There is a river at the feet of the mountains. Some girls were dancing on the boats. They wore Japanese traditional costumes. They were wonderful. After several dances, we went to have some tea at the stall by the river. I loved Japanese green tea or ocha. So I ordered two portions.

We went home around 4 o’clock. I was very tired. But I really had a nice day. I want to go there again next autumn.

Love,Yuki

Henry Ford was born July 30, 1863. He grew up on a farm near Dearborn, Michigan, but he disliked farm work. He liked mechanical things.

At age 16, Ford got a job in a machine shop in Detroit. He later worked as an engineer. In his spare time, he built engines. After years of experimenting, Ford produced his first automobile in 1896. This vehicle was powered by a gasoline motor and mounted on four bicycle wheels.

Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company in 1903. Ford wanted to produce large numbers of cars at low cost. He brought out the first Model T in 1908. From 1908 to 1927, 15 million Model Ts were produced. Some cost as little as $260.

Ford set up factories with assembly lines that could make cars fast and efficiently. As cars were being built, they moved slowly down an assembly line. Each worker along the line did one set of tasks, on car after car.

Workers on the assembly line often found their work dull and tiresome. Many of them quit after a short time. To keep his workers, Ford doubled the pay for his assembly-line workers. But he made them work very hard.

Other automobile companies ran faster to catch up with Ford. They copied Ford's successful use of the assembly line. They also started building cars that were more advanced, better looking, and more comfortable than the Model T.

Ford was slow to change his ways. By the 1930s, Ford no longer dominated the car industry. In 1941, the United States entered World War II. Ford’s factory went from producing cars to producing bomber planes for the U.S. military during the war.

Ford started a charity, the Ford Foundation, with his son in 1936. When Ford died in 1947, he left most of his money to the Ford Foundation. The Ford Foundation is still giving money to help poor countries and poor areas.

44. What is the main idea of paragraph 5?A. Workers’ problems on the assembly line.B. Ford set up factories with assembly lines.
