For many people, blue jeans stand for American culture.The history of blue jeans usually began with a man named Levis Strauss. He did not invent jeans.

They helped make the blue jeans stronger.In 1873, Strauss and Davis received a patent (专利) 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 colours 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).

She wanted something different to do. Suddenly, she saw the lawn mower(割草机) sitting in the yard.“Mom,” she shouted, “I think I will mow the lawn.” Her mom ran into the yard and said, “Oh no, you dont. Youre too young to mow the lawn.”“Im fourteen years old and know how to do it,” Jessie said. “Besides, it would help Dad out, and he wont have to worry about it over the weekend.” Mom thought for a while and then decided to let Jessie give it a try.

She was very careful around the flowers and trees. When she finished, she felt so good, but she was so hot. Mom brought her some ice tea and said, “You sure did a great job. Dad will be very surprised.”Later that day, Dad came home and said to Jessies mom, “You didnt have to mow the lawn. I was going to do it on Saturday. It looks great. Thanks.”“I didnt mow it. Jessie did.”“Wow, our little girl is growing up!” Dad told Jessie what a great job she had done.“It was fun, and I will do it again next week,” said Jessie.The neighbor next door came by and asked Jessie if she wanted to mow his lawn and make some money. “Sure!” said Jessie.
