In the mid-nineteenth century, the United States had tremendous natural resources that could be exploited in order to develop heavy industry Most of the raw materials that are valuable in the manufacture of machinery, transportation facilities, and consumer goods lay ready to be worked into
wealth Iron, coal, and oil - the basic ingredients of industrial growth—were plentiful and needed
only the application of technical expertise, organizational skill, and labor
One crucial development in this movement toward industrialization was the growth of the railroads The railway network expanded rapidly until the railroad map of the United States looked
like a spider’s web, with the steel filaments connecting all important sources of raw materials, their
places of manufacture, and their centers of distribution The railroads contributed to the industrial
growth not only by connecting these major centers, but also by themselves consuming enormous
amounts of fuel, iron, and coal
Many factors influenced emerging modes of production For example, machine tools, the tools used to make goods, were steadily improved in the latter part of the nineteenth century - always with
Trang 4an eye to speedier production and lower unit costs The products of the factories were rapidly absorbed by the growing cities that sheltered the workers and the distributors The increased urban
population was nourished by the increased farm production that, in turn, was made more productive
by the use of the new farm machinery American agricultural production kept up with the urban demand and still had surpluses for sale to the industrial centers of Europe
The labor that ran the factories and built the railways was recruited in part from American farm areas where people were being displaced by farm machinery, in part from Asia, and in part from Europe Europe now began to send tides of immigrants from eastern and southern Europe - most of whom were originally poor farmers but who settled in American industrial cities The money to finance this tremendous expansion of the American economy still came from European financiers for the most part, but the Americans were approaching the day when their expansion could be financed

VII Read the passage and choose the best answer
Winter is dangerous because it's so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place so easily Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of the hill Ice might be hiding beneath the melting snow, waiting to send you off the road car coming towards you may suddenly slide across the road
Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly Uneven movements can make a car suddenly difficult to control So every time you either turn the wheel, touch the brakes or
increase your speed, you must be as gentle and as slow as possible Imagine you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you Drive so that you wouldn't spill it
Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen The more ice there is, the further down the road you have to look Test how long it takes to stop by gently braking Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think In general, allow double your normal stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow, and even more on ice Try to stay in control
