Although Henry Ford's name is closely associated with the concept of mass production, he should receive equal credit for introducing labor practices as early as 1913 that would be considered67 even by today's standards.Safety 68 were improved, and the work day was 69 to eight hours, compared with the ten-or-twelve-hour day common at the time.In order to accommodate the shorter work day,the 70 factory was converted from two to three 71 .

The Ford Motor Company was one of the first factories to develop a 74 school to train specialized skilled laborers and an English language school for immigrants.

How To Get Famous in 30 Seconds
Oct. 6, 2001, was the night that would make David Bernal famous, although he didn't know it at the time. He was 21 and a senior at California State University at Long Beach, majoring in art and illustration and doing a little break dancing on the side. On the night in question he had been hired to perform. at a Korean-American talent show in Los Angeles. There's a grainy amateur video of the event in which you can see him mumble his name into the microphone and then do his thing for about 60 sec.
The audience goes insane. Those watching can't believe what's happening. Bernal, who performs under the name David Elsewhere, describes his dance style. as a mixture of "popping, waving, liquiding, breaking, roboting". What this means in practice is that, first, his body physically melts into a little puddle and then rebuilds it self bone by bone; then he becomes a giant robot; then weird energies go surging through his arms and legs; then he makes it look as though something is crawling around under his shirt; then he becomes a springy hopping creature. And then, just like that, it's over.
Except it wasn't over. Somebody converted the grainy video from that night into a digital file and posted it on the Web. One by one, then hundreds by hundreds, people started downloading the video, e-mailing it, linking to it, sharing it, copying it and reuploading it. In other words, the little video went viral—it multiplied and reproduced and spread out of control on the Internet like a virus. And millions of people caught it.
Bernal is famous now, in a way, but it's a new kind of fame, courtesy of a new medium. Viral videos are only a few minutes or even a few seconds long, and they're generally amateur in execution and wildly eclectic in subject matter. Browse one of the websites that hosts them, like YouTnbe on Google Video, and you'll see drunken karaoke, babies being born, plane crashes, burping contests, freakish sports accidents and far, far stranger things. The one thing they have in common is that people can't stop watching them.
The viral video probably began with the infamous Dancing Baby, which surfaced in 1996. A strangely compelling animation of a diapered infant getting its tiny groove on, the Dancing Baby was born as a software demo, but people started sending it to one another as an e-mail attachment. Until the Baby came along, nobody realized that that kind of spontaneous. In box-to-In box sharing, following the and-they'll-tell-two-friends model, could ever add up to much, let alone scale to the level of a mass medium. "It wasn't as though a marketing firm attempted to create the phenomenon," says Michael Girard, one of the programmers who helped create the Dancing Baby.
Soon, other clips followed the same branching path the Baby did: a cheerleader apparently being flipped through a basketball hoop; Paris Hilton's sex tape; Janet Jackson's famous wardrobe mall unction; a 19-year-old New Jersey man(doomed to be forever known as "the Numa Numa guy") overenthusiastically lip synching to a Romanian pop song. Last December, Saturday Night Live's Lazy Sunday video appeared on the Net 'after airing on the show. The white-boy rap about cupcakes and Narnia immediately went viral, spawning haft a dozen catchphrases and endowing SNL with an aura of cool it hasn't enjoyed since Wayne's World.
But most viral videos come from amateurs, brilliant or lucky camcorder amateurs who just put their work on the Net and watch it take off. Traffic to viral-video sites is surging, driven by ubiquitous broad-hand Internet access and cheap, easy-to-use digital video cameras. Since last year, visits to Yahoo!'s Video section have gone up 148%. Traffic to iFilm.com grew 102%. YouTube, launched in December, is storming the Web. It already had 9 million unique visitors in February, compared with Google Video's 6.2 million a

Welcome to the Fairchild Tropical Hotel
Built by a botanist James Koster, the first use of the building was as a dormitory on the Florida International University campus. Considering that James Koster donated more than $5 million for educational activities in his lifetime, that fact is not a surprise.
Converted to the Fairchild Tropical Hotel in 1936, the building now stands at the center of the Fairchild Tropical Garden. Guests still marvel at the waterfall and the marble fountains in the lobby of Tropical Hotel. Galleries, museums, and the Florida International University Academy of Botany are only a short walk away.
What is the purpose of this brochure？
A．To describe a building
B．To ask for people' s donations
C．To discover the history of Florida
D．To inform. the renovation and expansion of the existing hotel
This year promises to show a quantum leap in the spread of school technology: Parents in many districts can expect to be able to check the school lunch menu, read class notes, see activity calendars and view nightly homework assignments -- all online. "The schools are wired," says Carson. "A majority of parents now have access and the educators are ready to go."
Over the summer, parents of high school German students in Ithaca, N. Y. got to be part of a class trip to Europe, through their home computers. The class brought a digital camera and laptop with them to Germany and documented their visit on their web page. Harry Ash, father of 16-year- old traveler Brian, found it reassuring to see his son's smiling face from half a world away. Before their kids left parents had checked the site for scheduling information, a list of activities and advice on cultural differences.
When it's designed well, a district, school or classroom website can change the relationship between the parent and the school, says Cynthia Lapier, Ithaca's director of information and instructional technology. "The more you can involve parents in school, the better," Lapler says. "The technology gives us another way to reach them, especially parents of secondary school students, who tend to be less involved."
Ithaca high school physics teacher Stever Wirt gets E-mail from parents regularly, some from the parents he believes might otherwise not pick up the phone with a concern. Using software called Blackboard Courseinfo, Wirt conducts online chats with his students often reviewing for a quiz or discussing homework problems.
The way things are going, by the end of this year, many parents may be fully converted --and in fact dependent upon their schools' technological capabilities. At a recently wired school in Novi, Michigan, the school webmaster was just a few hours late posting the lunch-menu calendar on the website. In that time, more than a dozen parents called him by telephone to request the information. "A year ago, it never would have been there," says Carson. And now parents are finding it's tough to get by without it.
