TEXT 1

Many of you may have seen a ford car. Some of you may own one, or at least you might have own one. Formerly, ford cars were popular in Indonesia although today there are more Toyota and other Japanese cars than Fords or other American cars.

Like the Toyota car, the Ford car is named after the man who started the car factory. Henry Ford, along with his friends, started the Ford Motor Company in 1903. It was a small company then, but in 1927 had grown into a giant company.

The great success of the company began during the years 1912 and 1913, when it applied all the elements of ”mass production”. The most modern machines were used.

The parts of car were standardized. Machines and workers were placed in orderly sequence. Moving conveyor belts were used. Other devices were employed in order that the movement of the parts and materials might be economical and efficient. All activities where planned and coordinated.

Basically, that is what mass production is all about. The word ”mass” means a large number. The term ”mass production” refers to methods of organizing production process for a maximum number of products at the lowest cost. It is based two general principles. One is the division and specialization of human labour. The other is the use of tools and machines in the production of standards, interchangeable part.

From the Ford Motor Company mass production spread to other companies. Henry Ford became known as its creator. Was this creator of modern mass production a graduate of a famous university? No he was not, he never studied at any university. He didn’t even finish high school. He left school when he was 15 and began to work. You might think that he ought to have finished his schooling first. Young Henry Ford didn’t think so. Perhaps instead he thought that one could be successful without finishing his schooling.

Young Henry Ford might have promised himself that he would be successful man, and his name will be remembered the history of mass production for good.

TEXT 2

Nuclear energy is the energy contained in the nucleus, or centre, of an atom. It is the powerful form of energy that exists. Only in this century have scientists learned how to obtain nuclear energy. They have put it to constructive uses, as in electric power stations. They have also put it to destructive uses, as in the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb.

Sometimes nuclear energy is called atomic energy because it is obtained from atoms. This is not a good choice of words. Other forms of energy can also be obtained from atoms. For example, chemical energy, also, comes from atoms. But it comes from reactions outside the atomic nuclei. Nuclei is the plural of nucleus. Chemical energy is released when coal, oil, gas other fuels are burned.

An atomic-bomb explosion shows how powerful nuclear energy is. You have probably read of nuclear explosions described in terms of megatons, or million of tons of TNT. You may have known that TNT is the abbreviation of trinitrotoluene. It means a high explosive.

The breakdown, or fission, of uranium atoms supplies about 2 percent of the world’s energy requirements. Fission release tremendous amount of heat, which can be used to make steam to drive electric generators.

Early supporters of nuclear power believed that it would provide plenty of energy at low cost. But many problems have developed. The cost of building nuclear power plants has soared. There is great public concern about the possibility of a spread of radiation following an accident in a nuclear plant. As yet there is also no sure, safe way to dispose of the burned out fuel, which is radioactive. And the supply of uranium on the earth, like the supply of fossil fuels, is limited.

TEXT 3

In early societies money was unknown and man relied on a simple system of exchange. Perhaps a good hunter had more animal skins than he could use. His neighbor, a good fisherman, might have too many fish but needed furs to protect his children from the cold. Both soon realized that their problems could be easily solved by exchanging what they did not need, their surplus, for what they did need.

This method of exchanging something not needed for something that is needed is called barter. The word comes from the Italian ’barattare’ and the French ’barater’, which mean” to trade”.

Barter was an important means of exchange when the needs of primitive man were mostly for clothing, food, and shelter. But the system had many difficulties. For example, a weaver who wanted to exchange his cloth for a good catch of fish might not be able to find a fishermen who needed cloth. And a farmer with too much corn might not be able to find a hunter with too many deer. When labor and services became more specialized in growing societies, barter no longer satisfied the demands of payment. A new system of exchange had to be found.

As man developed, he turned to many different things in his search for a convenient medium of exchange, or money. One of the earliest forms of money was cattle. The richest man was the one who owned the most livestock. His cattle were called capital, and from that Latin word we get our word ”capital” meaning” wealth”.
