How and where did jeans uriginate？They were invented out of necessity during the California Gold Rush in 1853. They were invented by a 24-year-old German immigrant who had gone from New York to San Francisco with a large supply of a heavy，rough canvas(帆布)material.

He intended to sell this canvas for use as tents and wagon covers. But the gold miners told him，

" We don't need tents!We need pants，pants that are made of a strong material.”

So instead of tents，pants were soon made from the canvas. The miners liked the pants，but

complained that they were too rough on the skin. Then they used a softer kind of cloth as a replacement.This cotton cloth was imported from France，and it、called serge de Mimes.(Nimes is a city inFrance.)The fabric later became known as denim-pronounced "de NEEM，”and meaning from limes.

The original color of the pants was brown, but indigo dye(靛蓝染料)was being developed at this

time，and the brown color was soon replaced with the now-familiar deep blue. These denim pants were

nicknamed blue jeans.

Although jeans were originally designed for heavy physical labor，the image of jeans changed

dramatically in the 1950x. In those years, many western movies were be吨made with fascinating stars

like John Wayne and Gary Cooper as cowboys wearing jeans. Jeans acquired a fascinating image，too.

Over the next decades, jeans were being~everywhere，and were even featured in the fashion shows

of the designers in Paris.

But，apart from the "fascination"，jeans became very popular for work，play，and dress because

they are comfortable and lasting. These pants are worn by men，women, and children，young and old，

all over the world.

24. What did the young man do with the material he had

A. He changed it for tents. B. He sold it to cowboys.

C. He dyed it into brown. D. He made pants of it.

25. How were the pants improved?

A. Their colors were becoming various.

B. They were made with a softer material.

C. Designers made them for fashion shows.

D. Movie stars came to enjoy wearing them.

26. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Jeans were originally made for miners.

B. Jeans were worn by cowboys at first.

C. Thc modern jertns are expensive.

D. The original jeans were brown.

27. Which can describe the jeans of tcxlay?

A. They are rough and lasting.

B. Their materials are thick and colorful.

C.They are used for different purposes.

D. Their materials are produced in France.

“He speaks French so he is French.” But the Irish speak English and are certainly not English.

When the Irish writer Samuel Beckett was asked whether he was English，he answered“on the

contrary". How did it come about that the Irish people speak a foreign language?

The first official language of Ireland is Irish，but you could spend your whole lifetime in Ireland and never hear anything but English in everyday conversation，other than perhaps‘slainte’-the Irish toast.But Irish is a compulsory subject for school children throughout their school years. what's more，they must pass Irish in order to be admitted to the National University of Ireland，or to work in the civil

service and in many other state jobs. The vast majority of the population wishes to keep Irish in pride of place. So if they love the language so much，why don't the Irish speak Irish?

The answers are found in history，which is largely determined by geography. The Romans occupied most of the known world，but though they looked acioss the sea to Ireland and declared war

on it, they never did. The Gemanic tribes who controlled the mainland of Britain and laid the basis

for modem English didn't bother to cross the Irish Sea. Normans entered England by force，then moved on to Ireland in the twelfth century，but they eventually absorbed Irish culture until they were“more Irish than the Irish themselves".

In the 16th century，King Henry VIII of England became concerned that Ireland could be used as a

"back door" into England by France or Spain and feared it could be persuaded to be friends with his

enemies. What he did first was get rid of the Irish language. Irish poets were jailed and books in Irish

were destroyed.By the end of the 18th century it was dead.

28. What Samuel Beckett answered meant

A. he had no language of his own B. he considered himself English

C. he enjoyed speaking English D. he was actually an Irish man

29. What's the main idea of the second paragraph?

A. The official language of Ireland is Irish.

B. More and mom people can speak Irish.

C. The knowledge of Irish is important.

D. only the Irish people speak Irish.

30. What language did the Irish people speak bcfom the twcllth century?

A. Irish. B. Gernianic. C. English. D. Roman.

31.Why did King Henry VIII of England hope to destroy Irish?

A. The Irish poets didn't praise him.

B. The Irish people were his enemies.

C. He wanted Ireland to be part of England completely.

D. He expected English to be more popular in the world.

Drinking and smoking seem to be closely linked. But this may be more than just a .mixing of two

fairly common activities. New research has looked more closely at the relationship between cigarettes and alcohol.

Mahesh Thakkar, head of research in the Department of Neurology at the University of Missouri's

School of Medicine，explains that when a person drinks alcohol they get sleepy. He says a drug in

cigarettes fights that sleepy feeling. That cling, nicotine，can be addictive(上瘾);smokers need more.

cigarettes because of their body's growing dependence on the dnig. Thakkar says，"They feed off one

another.”

Thakkar's earlier research showed that nicotine combined with alcohol makes more active what he

calls the "reward center" of the brain. However, the new study shows a dependent relationship between

them. Thakkar says his team found that nicotine we
