By World War II that figure __4__would double, and the affordable Model T was one reason of it. __5__People flocked to Detroit for jobs, and unless they worked in one of __6__Henry’s factories, they could afford one of his cars— it is a virtuous circle, and he was the ringmaster. By the time production ceased for the model T in 1927, more than 15 million cars have __7__been sold— or half the world’s output.
Nobody was more of an inspiration to Ford to the great inventor __8__ Thomas Edison. At the turning of the century Edison had blessed __9__Ford’s pursuit of an efficient, gas-powering car during a chance __10__ meeting at Detroit’s Edison illuminating Co., where Ford was chief engineer.
答案:
1.将creating改为create
help 后面一般接(to)do sth
2.将it改为them
Spend的宾语实际上是rising wages，为复数，所以应该用代词them。
3.Detroit前加a
Shop是可数名词，所以前面要有限定词。
4.将live改为lived
讲述的是福特16岁的时候的事情。
5.将of 改为for
The reason for…是 固定搭配，表示……的原因。
6.将unless改为if
通过逻辑分析，句子意思是，如果他们能在福特的工厂工作，他们就能买得起他的汽车—这是一个良性循环。
7.将have改为had
“到1927年截止”，这里必须是用过去完成时。
8.将第二个to改为than
这是一个“more…than”的结构。意思是“没有人比爱迪生给福特的激励更大”。
9.将turning改为turn，或者在turning后加上point
10.powering改为powered
power 作为动词，意思是“给……提供动力”，所以这里应该用被动的过去分词。
