20、armer and,under the sponsorship of a Rhode Island merchant,built the Arkwright spinning machines from memory.His first mill opened in Pawtucket,Rhode Island,in December 1790.Additional textile mills soon were built in other New England states,and the textile industry of the United States flourished（

21、繁（繁荣，兴旺）荣，兴旺）.n2005-11-1902:20林达乔治华盛顿是美国的第一任总统。年月日，华盛顿在纽约宣誓就职，成为世界上第一个共和制大国的总统。这是他一生中最重要的时刻。在宣誓就职的时候，他身穿缀有银纽扣的棕色羊毛料上装，白色裤子。华盛顿是一个很注意小节的人。这一天，他挑选这一套制服别有一番深意：他的制服料子都是美国北方康涅狄格的纺织厂出产的粗布料子。n那个时候，两百年前，不要说美国不会织质地精细的布料，全世界除了英国都不会织。尽管人类织布已经有几千年的历史，织法却少有变化，都是小梭子的窄幅手工织机。年，英国的约翰凯依发明了飞梭，先结合水力，后来结合了瓦特发明的蒸汽机，纺织技术出

22、现了突破，英国工业革命由此开始。纺织工业是当时的龙头产业，带动了各行各业的突飞猛进，英国国力大增，成为世界第一强。而这第一强的基础就是纺织工业，那是当时的高技术产业。n英国当然想保持自己在这个高技术产业的垄断地位，于是，英国纺织工业的技术成为国王陛下最珍贵的机密，下令严加保护。英国所有纺织厂的技术人员都在海关登记在册，一律严禁出国。至于技术资料，一片纸也不许出口。英国生产的布料行销全国，北美盛产棉花羊毛，自己不会织成好布，只能卖给英国。华盛顿知道，这个局面必须改变。他身穿美国自己织出来的粗布料制服，出席总统就职典礼，就是想告诉国人：美国必须自己制造！n可是，高技术的赶超，谈何容易。大部分美国人

23、都是农夫，很多是文盲，想象不出机器织布。最好的办法是从英国挖技术人才。于是美国人几年前就在英国的纺织厂里传播消息，说有技术的人，在美国大有发展机会。可是英国海关却看得死死的，有此心也无此可能。华盛顿总统就职典礼的制服华盛顿总统就职典礼的制服n结果，有一个叫斯莱特（）的年轻人听进去了。他在纺织厂当学徒，用心地把所有技术细节记在心里，却不动声色，一点不声张。就在华盛顿就职总统的这一年年底，斯莱特学徒刚满师。他悄悄地登上了去美国的轮船，连自己的母亲都没有告诉。海关登记的时候他说是农田粗工。n华盛顿总统当然并不知道他的到来，他却和所有美国人一样，知道华盛顿身穿粗布制服宣誓就职的涵义。美国立即向他提供了

24、机会。罗德岛州一个叫布朗的商人对斯莱特说，听说你会造织布机，那么我出钱你来造，成功了利润归你。斯莱特就凭着脑子里默记的资料，用一年的时间，造出了美国第一台会运转的织布机。从此，美国生产的棉花羊毛自己会加工了，美国掌握了高技术。n现在美国的布朗大学就是以这位有远见有气魄的布朗先生名字命名。年，美国的第七任总统杰克森专门拜访了斯莱特。这位戎马生涯的总统恭恭敬敬地称斯莱特为“美国制造业之父”。从华盛顿到杰克森，美国总统们都明白，在世界各国纷纷走上工业革命之路的时候，竞争规则非常简单：谁制造谁强大。制造业是衡量国力的标准。n可是，那一代美国人还知道，竞争规则并非永远不变。等到有朝一日全世界都会制造的时

25、候，谁最强大由什么来决定呢？nBy the early 1900s the textile industry had begun to relocate to the southeastern United States.Many reasons have been given for the move.Among them were proximity to the cotton crop,lower wages,and streams capable of generating adequate power to operate water wheels.In the South,chea

31、e forefront of that change.nOn a per capita basis,250 million people each consumed 24 pounds of cotton,1.2 pounds of wool,39.3 pounds of manufactured fiber,and 2.2 pounds of fiber of other generic（一般（一般的）的）groups nThe countries from which those imports come include India,China,Taiwan,Hong Kong,and S
