Before 1883, most cities in the United States had their own time. They set their time by the sun. This made many problems for the railroad companies. Their trains went to more than 300 different cities. Every city had a different time. In 1883 Willia Allan made a plan to divide the United States into four different parts called time zones. This made things easier for the railroad companies. Now every city in the same time zone has the same time. The map shows the time zones. They are Pacific (太平洋的) Standard Time (PST), Mountains Standard Time (MST), Central Standard Time (CST) and Eastern Standard Time (EST). The clocks below the map tell the time in each zone.

Good sense is the most equitably distributed thing in the world, for each man considers himself so well provided with it that even those who are most difficult to satisfy in everything else, do not usually wish to have more of it than they have already. It is not likely that everyone is mistaken in this; it shows, rather, that the ability to judge rightly and separate the true from the false, which is essentially what is called good sense or reason, is by nature equal in all men, and thus that our opinions differ not because some men are better provided with reason than others, but only because we direct our thoughts along different paths, and do not consider the same things. For it is not enough to have a good mind; what is most important is to apply it rightly. The greatest souls are capable of the greatest evils, and those who walk very slowly can advance much further, if they always keep to the direct road, than those who run and go astray. And I know of no other qualities than these which make for the perfection of the mind; for as to reason, or good sense, because it alone makes us men and distinguishes us from the beasts, I am quite willing to believe that it is whole and entire in each of us.

Sometimes, when people first see an automobile factory, they think it has no form. It is so big that it is impossible to see the design of the whole plant. In fact, the factory has been very carefully designed, so that it can be as efficient as possible.
There is not just one assembly line in the factory; there are several. On the main one, the chassis (车架) of the car is put together. The chassis is the frame on which the rest of the car is built. In another part of the factory, the body of the car is stamped out on sheets of steel. The body is painted, and then the two assembly lines come together. The body is lowered onto the chassis and fitted to it.
Meanwhile, in still another part of the factory, the engine is being put together on another assembly line. The central part of the engine is called the block, and the various other parts of the engine are fitted to it by different workers as it passes down the line. An internal combustion engine is a complicated piece of machinery, and this work must be done with great care. A piece which does not fit properly, or which is badly made, may spoil the engine.
When the engine is completed, the assembly line on which it has been put together joins the main one, where the chassis and the body have been fitted together. The engine is then placed in the car. After final adjustments have been made, the car can be rolled off the end of the assembly line to a parking lot, where it awaits shipment to the dealer who will sell it to the customer.
The automobile, a complicated machine with hundreds of different parts, is made quickly and efficiently by using the assembly line technique to its fullest extent.
