60篇短文搞定托福高频词Chapter 15

Tom was a manufacturer of metallic gliders, and he had just initiated a new manufacturing process. Instead of the usual formation process, he had decided to use concentric core formation to expand the frequency of his manufacturing. This was an initial move that would influence his role in the manufacturing industry.

Tom's decision was based on the predictability of the concentric core mechanism. He had determined that it would increase the predictability of his glider's flight and make it more standard for his customers. The new process would preserve the richness of the angiosperms from which the wood used for his gliders came from.

The preservation of the rare wood used in the gliders was a tax on Tom's resources, but he knew that the preservation of the wood was an influential determinant of his gliders' predictability. He knew that the concentration of carbon and nitrogen in the wood was a crucial factor in the gliders' ability to glide quickly and efficiently.

Tom's new manufacturing process was a formal experiment, and he predicted that the new manufacturing process would be successful in producing more frequent and predictable gliders. The distant stand where he had previously manufactured his gliders was no longer suitable for his expanding manufacturing, so he decided to move to a new, larger location.

The distance between his old stand and his new manufacturing plant was considerable, but the quick expansion of his business made the move a necessity. Tom's gliders became known for their predictability and became an influential part of the glider manufacturing industry.
