　　[1]Growing up on a remote Michigan farm，Henry Ford

　　knew little of all this—but he soon showed signs that he belonged to a new generation of Americans who were interested

　　more in the industrial future than in the agricultural past.Like most pioneer farmers，his father，William，hoped that his eldest son would join him on the farm.But Henry______________.He

　　hated farm work and tried his best to avoid it.It was not that he was lazy.Far from it.Give him a mechanical job to do，from mending the gate to sharpening tools，and he would set to work eagerly.

　　[2]Henry was excited by the possibilities that one day the development in technology could free farmers like his father from wasteful and boring toil.When he was twelve he became fascinated with clocks and watches.Soon he was able to repair clocks and watches for friends.

　　[3]In 1876，Henry suffered a huge hit.His mother Mary died in childbirth.There was now no reason for him to stay on the farm，and he decided to get away as soon as he could.Three years later，he took a job as a mechanic in Detroit.By this time steam engines had joined clocks and watches as objects of Henry’s fascination.
