Everybody wears them, from the farmer to the lawyer and from models to housewives. But why have jeans become so popular？Youll get many answers. For some people, they look cool, for others jeans are just comfortable. Jeans were first designed as trousers for farm workers and miners in the states of the American west. A Nevada tailor, Jacob Davis, had the idea of using copper bolts (铜制铆钉)at the corner of the pockets to make them stronger. They became popular at once and soon many people bought them.At first jeans were worn only by workers, especially in factories. In the east of the US jeans were hardly worn at all. But when rich easterners went on holidays to escape everyday life they often put on jeans.It was James Dean and Marlon Brando that made them popular in movies and everyone started to wear them. These new trousers were once not allowed in American schools and sometimes in theatres and cinemas. As time went on，jeans became more acceptable and today they are worn not only as ordinary clothes but also at formal events.Other countries quickly started to get used to wearing jeans too. Americans 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.Today jeans are an important part of our lives. 24.Jeans were first made for _. A .models B. housewives C. farm workers D.urban lawyers 25. Who made the first jeans in the world?A. Steve Jobs B. Jacob Davis. C. James Dean. D. Marlon Brando.26. From the third paragraph we can learn that_. A. rich easterners liked doing farm work in jeans .B. workers in the east of the US liked jeans better.C. at first jeans were worn only by rich easternersD. the people in jeans in the east of the US were mostly rich27. Which of the following helped make jeans popular according to the passage?A. Movies . B. Schools . C. Tourism. D. NewspapersC Time for kids and kidsHealth.org wanted to know how things are going for you. To find out, we took a poll(名义测验).We asked thousands of kids aged 7 to 13 about their life here in the U.S. What worries kids Even though kids feel positive about their life, they still feel worried at times. In face ,from 2009 to 2012, kids say their worries have increased. Bullying(欺负)is a concern for nearly half of all the children we hear from . This is a change from 2009, when only a third of kids said they were worried about bullies. “Bullying really hurts people ,”says Kathy, 12. “It should be stopped.”Family matters Kids told us many times how much family meant to them . When asked who they looked up to (尊敬) most, more than three out of four children chose a family member.Most chose their parents . “My mom is always there for me ,”says Dlina, 10. “I could go on and on talking about how great she is.” All in a day For many kids , dinner is a time to spend with family. It may be a good time to talk about the day. But many kids ,at least one in ten, think its OK to send text messages at the dinner table. Almost as many say its just fine to text in class. Just how much time are kids spending on their phones? About one-third of the poll responders say they use their phones 15-45 minutes each day. But some kids , one out of ten, spend five or more hours on the phone on a typical day. Most impressive of all , nine out of ten kids say they find time to help others on a daily basis. With that as a goal , it is no wonder that most children feel certain that in 10 years the world will be a better place.28. Time for kids took a poll to _. A. encourage kids to study hard at schoolB.know how kids get on with each other C. learn about what kids life was like D. test if kids can answer all the questions29. What has happened since 2009 according to the passage?A. One-third of kids have felt safe at school.B. More kids have been worried about bullying.C. Most kids have been afraid of going to school.D. Parents have shown their worry about their kids.30.About 10%of kids in class in the US _. A. make a call to their friends B. talk with their parents C. send text messages to others D. deal with their homework31. Most kids think the future world will be better probably because_. A. people can make more money B. people will have more free timeC. technology will develop quickly D. most of the kids are helpful nowD You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. Its the idea that if children or even babie listen to music composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search reveals plenty of products which help you with the task. Whatever your age, there are CDs and books to help you to make use of the power of Mozarts music. The phrase “the Mozart effect” was created in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked (引起) real media and pubic interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. In 2006, a large study was conducted in Britain involving eight thousand children. They listened to eight to ten minutes of Mozarts String Quintet in D Major, or to three pop songs :Blurs “Country House”, “Return of the Mack” by Mark Morrison, and PJ and Duncans “Stepping Stone”. Once again music improved the ability to predict paper shapes ,but this time it wasnt a Mozart effect, but a Blur effect. The children who listened to Mozart did well, but with pop music they did even better. Whatever your musical choice, your mind needs to get a little more active, and it needs something to get it going. In face, anything that makes you more alert(敏捷的) should work just as welldoing a few star jumps or drinking some coffee, for example. There is a way in which music can make a difference to your IQ , though.Unfortunately,it requires a bit more effort than putting on a CD. Learning to play a musical instrument can have a beneficial effect on your brain. Jessica Grahn, a scientist at University of Western Ontario in London, says that a year of piano lessons, combined with regular practice can increase IQ by as much as three points. So listening to Mozart wont do you or your children any harm and could be the start of a life-long love of classical music.32. The phrase “the Mozart effect” was known to the public _.A.in 1991 B. in 1993 C. in 2006 D. in 200833. In the following comments after giving the example of the study in 2006, the writer intends to tell us that _.A. pop music improves our performanceB. classical music improves our performanceC. whatever we are fond of improves our performanceD. whatever makes us active improves our performance34. According to Jessica Grahn,_.A. listening to music will improve our IQ rapidlyB. listening to music doesnt affect our IQC. playing the piano will improve our IQD. playing the piano does great harm to our IQ35. What can we infer from the text?A. Listening to Mozarts music is not the only way to improve our brainpower.B. Mozarts music does harm to small children.C. Mozarts music doesnt make any difference.D. Mozarts music improves our brainpower greatly.第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。(每小题2分) How to remember names easily Not everyone is good at remembering names. 36 Whats worse is that someone else is with you and you know youll have to introduce the two of them to each other.
