The headline of a newspaper presents the heart of the news in brief form. Because of space limitations head-line writers tend to use short verbs and nouns. Scanning the headlines gives a hasty look at the major news of the day. Headlines are often presented in steps. Each section adds to the news presented in the top headline, If you have only a little time, you may wish to read the headlines and follow up only a few stories you are particularly interested in.
The first paragraph, or lead of a news story answers certain questions that might be asked by a reader. A lead answers some or all of these questions: 'Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?' Once again, if you are pressed for time, you can get a great deal of information by reading just the lead.
The news article develops the information presented in the head-line and the lead. News articles are usually written so that paragraphs may be clipped off the end without damaging the story. Since news columns must fit the space provided, putting the most important information at the beginning makes sense. You will not, of course, read every news item every day.
Please give a heading to the passage.

A.
B.
C.
Please
D.
How
E.

SECTION 1 Compulsory Translation (30 points)Development of the CityWhatever the particular circumstances of a city, though, its vigour was likely to be affected by technological change. Just as it was improvements in farming that brought about the surpluses that made possible the first fixed settlements, so it was improvements in transport that made possible the development of trade on which the prosperity of so many cities depended. Other technological changes made it possible to survive in a city. The Romans, for instance, constructed aqueducts to bring fresh water to their towns and sewers to provide sanitation.But only the rich benefited. Most Romans, and many city-dwellers throughout history, lived in squalor, and many died of it. Towns were crowded and insanitary; people were often malnourished; and disease spread fast. Though cities grew in size and number for long periods, they could decline and fall, too. Between 1000 and 1300 Europe's urban population more than doubled, to about 70m (thanks partly to a new system of crop rotation, made possible by better tools). Then, with the Black Death, it fell by a quarter. Country people died too, but the city-dwellers were especially vulnerable. Their health depended above all on clean water and sanitation, which few had, and cheap soap and medicines, which had yet to be invented.Not surprisingly, the next big change in the development of the city also turned on a leap in technology: the invention of engines and manufacturing machinery. The Industrial Revolution did nothing at first to make urban life easier, but it did provide jobs—lots of them. With the new factories of the industrial age that began in the late 18th century was born an entirely new urban era. Peasants left the land in their multitudes to live in new cities, first in the north of England, then all over Europe and North America. By 1900, 13% of the world's population had become urban.

Ford1. Ford&39;s great strength was the manufacturing process—not invention. Long before he started a car company, he was a worker, known for picking up pieces of metal and wire and turning them into machines. He started putting cars together in 1891. Although it was by no means the first popular automobile, the Model T showed the world just how creative Ford was at combining technology and market.2. The company&39;s assembly line alone threw America&39;s Industrial Revolution into overdrive (高速运转). Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Ford&39;s friends, who were great toolmakers from Scotland, organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line. By the time Ford&39;s Highland Park plant was humming (嗡嗡作响) along in 1914, the world&39;s first automatic conveyor belt could turn out a car every 93 minutes.3. The same year Henry Ford shocked the world with the ＄5-a-day minimum wage scheme, the greatest contribution he had ever made. The average wage in the auto industry then was ＄2.34 for a 9-hour shift. Ford not only doubled that, he also took an hour off the workday. In those years it was unthinkable that a man could be paid that much for doing something that didn&39;t involve an awful lot of training or education. The Wall Street Journal called the plan an economic crime , and critics everywhere laughed at Ford.4. But as the wage increased later to daily ＄10, it proved a critical component of Ford&39;s dream to make the automobile accessible (可及的) to all. The critics were too stupid to understand that because Ford had lowered his costs per car, the higher wages didn&39;t matter—except for making it possible for more people to buy cars.Paragraph 1 ______A Ford&39;s FollowersB The Assembly LineC Ford&39;s Great DreamD The Establishment of the CompanyE Ford&39;s Biggest ContributionF Ford&39;s Great TalentParagraph 2 ______A Ford&39;s FollowersB The Assembly LineC Ford&39;s Great DreamD The Establishment of the CompanyE Ford&39;s Biggest ContributionF Ford&39;s Great TalentParagraph 3 ______A Ford&39;s FollowersB The Assembly LineC Ford&39;s Great DreamD The Establishment of the CompanyE Ford&39;s Biggest ContributionF Ford&39;s Great TalentParagraph 4 ______A Ford&39;s FollowersB The Assembly LineC Ford&39;s Great DreamD The Establishment of the CompanyE Ford&39;s Biggest ContributionF Ford&39;s Great TalentThe assembly line made it possible to ______.A criticized by the mediaB the low wage in the auto industryC own a carD produce cars in large numbersE the 8-hour-shift practiceF combined technology and marketFord was the first to adopt ______.A criticized by the mediaB the low wage in the auto industryC own a carD produce cars in large numbersE the 8-hour-shift practiceF combined technology and marketHigher wages enabled many people to ______.A criticized by the mediaB the low wage in the auto industryC own a carD produce cars in large numbersE the 8-hour-shift practiceF combined technology and marketFord&39;s higher-wage and lower-cost strategy was strongly ______.A criticized by the mediaB the low wage in the auto industryC own a carD produce cars in large numbersE the 8-hour-shift practiceF combined technology and market请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析，谢谢！
