(象征) american culture and “the good life”. in spain they are known as “cowboys”. in china, jeans are known as “niuzaiku”, also, “cowboy trousers”, which means they are connected with the american west cowboy culture and outdoor work.jeans are usually made from denim (粗布), but may also be made from other materials. the earliest known cloth for jeans was a thick cotton cloth from the indians. at first they were working clothes. they became popular among teenagers in the 1950s. today jeans are a very popular form of casual wear around the world and come in many styles and colors.jeans were first made in genoa in italy. the trousers were made for the genoese navy (海军) because they needed trousers which could be worn wet or dry, and whose legs could be easily rolled up while the men were cleaning the ships. these jeans would be washed by pulling them in large fishing nets behind the ship, and the sea water would make them white. in the 1850s levi strauss, a business man living in san francisco, was selling blue jeans under the “levis” name to the coal workers of california.during world war ii, the coal workers liked jeans very much because they were strong and did not tear easily. in the 1950s, jeans became popular with young people in the united states. wearing of blue jeans by teenagers was the symbol of rebels (反叛者) in tv programs and movies. some cinemas and restaurants refused to let people in if they wore blue jeans. in the 1980s, jeans finally became high fashion clothing, when famous designers started making their own styles of jeans, with their own labels on them. sales of jeans went up and up.29. from the first paragraph we know that _.a. cowboys wear jeans onlyb. cowboys live a good lifec. american culture is cowboy culture d. cowboy culture is usually

jeansc. the name of a kind of cloth d. the nickname of a businessman32. why the people who wore blue jeans were refused to go into the cinema in the 1950s?a. because jeans were made for workers.b. because jeans were made of denim. c. because it was during the time of war. d. because wearing jeans was the symbol of rebels. dwhen i was small and my grandmother died, i couldnt understand why i had no tears. but that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.so it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to work well. one study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.besides, tears attract help from other people. researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we dont even know were very sad until we cry. we learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.just as crying can be healthy, not crying- holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering- can be bad for physical health, studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. if you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. but when you feel like crying, dont fight it. its a natural - and healthy - emotional response (反应).33. it can be inferred from the text that _.a. crying does more good to health than laughing b. there are two ways to keep healthy c.crying and laughing play the same roles d. emotional health has close connection with physical health34. according to the author, which of the following statements is true?a.fighting back tears may cause some health problems b. crying is the best way to get help from others. c. we must cry if we want to reduce pressure. d. we will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.35. what might be the most suitable title for the text?a.how to keep healthy b. power of tears c. a new scientific discovery d. why we cry
