 Jeans have become one piece of clothing worn by the most people in the world. Everybody wears them, from the farmer to the lawyer and from models to housewives. But why have jeans become so popular？You’ll get many answers. For some people they look cool, for others jeans are just comfortable. 
Jeans were first stronger trousers made for farm workers in the states of the American west. In the eastern part of the US jeans were hardly worn at all. They were connected with farm people and the workers. So the rich wouldn’t like to wear them. 
It was James Dean and Marlon Brando that made them popular in movies and everyone started to wear them. They were a symbol of the rebellion of young people during the 1950s and 1960s. So these new trousers were not allowed in American schools and sometimes in theatres and cinemas. As time went on，jeans became more acceptable. American people in Europe and Japan often wore them when they were not on duty to show that they were Americans. The trousers showed the world a happier way of life, something that people needed, especially after what they had gone through in World War II. 
Jeans had other advantages as well. They didn’t need to be washed as often as other trousers and women didn’t need to iron them. This became more important as more and more women started working and had less time for housework. 
Today jeans are an important part of our lives. They are always washed a few times before they are sold to give them a faded look. 
小題1:Jeans first appeared ___________.
A．in eastern AmericaB．in western America
C．in Middle AmericaD．a(chǎn)ll over America
小題2:From the passage, we can know that James Dean and Marlon Brando were              .
A．film starsB．Jeans makers
C．young studentsD．farmers or workers
小題3:What is the possible meaning of the underlined “rebellion” in this passage?
A．奢侈B．活力C．清純D．反叛
小題4:Which of the following was a possible advantage of jeans to women?
A．They could easily be bought anywhere in the world.
B．They didn’t need to be washed often or ironed.
C．They had many different styles and colors.
D．They were comfortable and easy to wash.
小題5:What is the best title of the passage?

B．Jeans --- Working Women’s Best Choice

School education is very important and useful. The students both learn knowledge and get educated. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. Scientists, such as Edison, Newton, Galileo and Einstein, didn't learn everything from school. They learnt a lot of knowledge outside school or practiced a lot themselves. A teacher, though he knows a lot, can't teach his students everything.
　　The teacher's job is to teach his students how to learn, how to read and how to think. A good teacher with rich experience in teaching can teach his students the methods (="ways)" of study. Through these methods students are able to learn and get a lot of things by themselves.
Usually it's very easy for students to memorize some knowledge, but it is difficult to use it to solve problems. If a teacher really teaches students the ability(能力) of how to use knowledge, it means the teacher has learned lots of knowledge by himself(or herself). The success in learning shows he or she knows how how how to study.

The Mayan（瑪雅的）Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years before the Spanish arrived in the 1500s. The Mayan achievements were many. They had farms, beautiful palaces, and cities with many buildings. The Mayan people knew a lot about nature and the world around them. This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time, because they could use it to make their lives more comfortable and rewarding（值得的）. Knowledge about tools and farming, for example, made their work easier and more productive.
The Maya believed in many gods, including rain gods, sun gods, and corn gods. The people built large temples to honor the Mayan gods. Skillful workers built cities around these temples. It was difficult for them to build these cities, because they had no horses to carry the heavy stone they used to build with. Workers had to carry all of the building materials themselves. Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing.
Although the cities that the Maya built were beautiful, and the people worked hard to build them, very few of the people lived in them. Usually, only the priests（牧師）lived in the cities.
The other people lived in small villages in the forests. Their houses were much simpler than the elaborate buildings in the cities. They lived in small huts（小屋）with no windows. The walls were made of poles covered with dried mud, and the roof was made of grass or leaves. Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature.
The Mayan priests studied the Sun, the Moon, stars, and planets. They made a calendar from what they learned. The year was divided into 18 months of 20 days each with five days left over. The Mayan calendar was far more exact than the European calendars of the time.
Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. No one knows why this happened. They may have died from some disease. They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops. Archaeologists（考古學家）are still trying to find the lost secrets of the Maya.
小題1:What does the underlined word “elaborate’’ mean?
A．easily builtB．carefully made C．slowly fixed D．quickly designed
小題2:From the passage we can infer（推理）that   .
A．most Maya lived in beautiful cities
B．many Mayan cities and temples are still standing
C．the Maya were intelligent and culturally rich people
D．the Mayan calendar was the same as European calendars
小題3:Why it is said that the Mayan people lived a better life than most people of that time?
A．They had better building skills and housing conditions.
B．They believed in many gods, and honored the Mayan gods.
C．They had knowledge about tools and faming.
D．They studied about nature and the world around them.
小題4:What can be the best title for this article?
A．Mayan GodsB．Mayan Buildings
C．Productive MayaD．Mysterious（神秘的）Maya

Different people have different hobbies. For example, some people like reading, some people like swimming and some people like collecting something and so on. I have many hobbies, such as reading, skating, and traveling. I used to read books in my free time. I like reading because I could learn much by reading. At that time, reading was part of my life.

We know it is colder in winter and hotter in summer, so we can dress properly.
