Today we’ll talk about the history of blue jeans. For many people, blue jeans stand for (代表) American culture.
The history of blue jeans usually began with a man named Levi Strauss. He did not invent jeans. But he is the first person to produce and sell them in large numbers. Levi Strauss was born in Germany. In 1847, he and his family moved to the United States. He opened a small store and sold jeans. These pants were especially useful for miners (礦工) in California. They needed strong clothing. Levi Strauss worked with Jacob Davis, who had invented a step for making rivets (鉚釘) for jeans. They helped make the blue jeans stronger.
In 1873, Strauss and Davis received a patent (專利) to own this invention. Nineteenth century workers would probably be surprised to know that their pants would one day become fashions. Today, jeans are worn by people of all ages. Jeans come in many colors other than blue and in many styles and prices. Fashion designers even create very costly jeans.
Writer James published a book called Jeans: A Cultural History of an American Icon (偶像). In the book, he says jeans serve as a sign for two American values, creativity and rebellion (叛逆).
【小題1】 Why did Jacob use rivets for jeans?
A.Because they made the blue jeans stronger. | B.Because they had a history. |
C.Because they are fashionable. | D.Because they were dear. |
A.Miners like to wear strong clothing. |
B.Jeans have only one color — blue. |
C.James wrote a book about jeans. |
D.Levi Strauss is the first person to produce jeans in large numbers. |
A.protection | B.a(chǎn)mbition | C.friendship | D.creativity |
A.Jeans are popular. | B.Jeans become fashions. |

George Wilson had a shop where he sold and repaired watches.
One day his daughter got married and her husband,James,soon came to work for him.
“I’ll teach you everything I know about watches.”George told them.
For the first few weeks,James served the customers,dusted the shelves and learned where everything was in the shop.George was very pleased with him.He worked hard and was polite and helpful to the customers.
After about six months,James said,“Is there any thing else you want to teach me?”
“Yes,James,there is,”George said:“It’s time I teach you the secret of our success.”
“I think I know that,”James said.“You buy watches at one price,and sell them at a higher price.The difference in price is our profit.”
“That is true,but it is not where we make most of our profit.”George said.
He picked up a watch from the counter.“What do you think of this watch?”He asked James.
“That is a cheap watch,”the young man replied.“We don’t make much profit from selling those,perhaps a few dollars each.”
“That is where you are wrong,young boy.”George said,“Those cheap watches make more profit than any other watch in the shop.”
“I don’t understand,”James said.
“Because they are really cheap,they are always breaking,”George told him,“We make our profit from repairing them.”
