The word horsepower(马力)was first used two hundred years ago . James Watt had made the world’s first widely used steam engine(蒸气机). He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was , for at that time there were no units(单位)for measuring(测量)power .
Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.
He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute.
Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine.

Bolivia has a population of three and a half million. About one tenth of the total population are white; one-fourth are mixed Indians and white; and more than half are full-blooded(纯血种的)Indians. The government and the industries are under the control of the white people.
The Indians today live in much the same way as their ancestors. Most of them are farmers. Many work in the mines(矿), for mining is the most important industry on Bolivia’s. Of all the mining products, tin(锡)is the most important, which makes up three-fourths of all Bolivia’s exports. The eastern slopes of the Andes(安第斯山脉), since there are very few roads there, are fertile but not highly developed. The two primary means of transportation are river boats and porters(脚夫). East of the hill region is the great plains where tropical plants are grown. A serious problem for Bolivia is the transport of food from the warm regions, where it is grown, to the mountainous regions, where most of the people live.
Bolivia gained its independence from Spain about a hundred years ago. It has been slow in developing, but its rich resources promise a better future in it.

The Golden Bridge joins the beautiful city of San Francisco with the suburbs(郊区)to the north. Each day, about one hundred thousand cars across the bridge, taking people to and from the city. More than half of them cross the bridge during the morning and evening rush hours, as a result, the trip is not pleasant.
Now, however, there is at least one group of happy commuters. (经常往来市区的人). These are the people who travel under the bridge instead of on it . They go to work by boat and enjoy it so much that most of them say they will never go by car again .
The ferry(渡船)they take is the large , quiet , comfortable “Golden Gate” . Commuters can enjoy the sun on the boat. In the morning, they can have breakfast in the coffee shop, and in the evening they can have a drink in the boat while they are looking at San Francisco’s famous scene and the nearby hills.
The trip takes only thirty minutes and is not expensive. But best of all, being on a boat seems to make people feel friendlier towards each other. Two commuters who met on the “Golden Bridge” have already got married. Because the boat has been so successful, there are plans to use other still larger boats. There is also a plan for a high-speed boat that will make the trip in only fifteen minutes.
