The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became well-known  all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford

　　formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company. That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said: "I will build a motor car for the great mass of people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for  one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built  with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one."

　　The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850. It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers. Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.

　　33.What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1?

　　A. He made good use of ideas from others.

　　B. He produced the first car in the world.
