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 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 _____.

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 it’s OK to send text messages at the dinner table. Almost as many say it’s 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.

You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It’s 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 Mozart’s 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 Mozart’s String Quintet in D Major, or to three pop songs :Blur’s “Country House”, “Return of the Mack” by Mark Morrison, and PJ and Duncan’s “Stepping Stone”. Once again music improved the ability to predict paper shapes ,but this time it wasn’t 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 well—doing 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 won’t 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 2008
33. 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 performance
B. classical music improves our performance
C. whatever we are fond of improves our performance
D. whatever makes us active improves our performance
34. According to Jessica Grahn,_____.
A. listening to music will improve our IQ rapidly
B. listening to music doesn’t affect our IQ
C. playing the piano will improve our IQ
D. playing the piano does great harm to our IQ
35. What can we infer from the text?
A. Listening to Mozart’s music is not the only way to improve our brainpower.
B. Mozart’s music does harm to small children.
C. Mozart’s music doesn’t make any difference.
D. Mozart’s music improves our brainpower greatly.

How to remember names easily
Not everyone is good at remembering names. 36 What’s worse is that someone else is with you and you know you’ll have to introduce the two of them to each other. Here are some strategies that may help you remember names easily.
Listen attentively. 37 Listen attentively to the name and concentrate on the face. Don’t look at the person’s clothes or her jewelry(首饰).If you did not hear the name clearly, ask the name to be repeated.
Find connections. The person you are introduced to may be a doctor, a mother of five or a cancer survivor. 38 The details may come out during your conversation or another person may provide them at a later time.
Repeat the name. 39 If the conversation is short, once should be enough. For a longer conversation, you can repeat her name two or three times, but never use her name in every sentence.
Refer the name to another person. You can tell a friend or a family member that you met, for example, Anna Smith at a party. Describe a little about Anna. 40 However, this is an exercise for you to remember the person’s name.
A. Write down the name when necessary.
B. You’d better connect the details about the person to her name.
C. Of course your friend may not care so much for this information.
D. Pronounce and spell the name so that you can remember it.
E. Whenever you are introduced to someone, keep your mind on it .
F. During the course of your conversation with anyone new to you, use her name once in a while.
G. You may have been in situations where you see a familiar face but you just can’t remember her name.

In December 2013, my parents asked me what I wanted for Christmas. At that point, for the first time, I realized how 41 I was to have been born in such a fortunate family.
There was nothing that I could 42 because there was nothing more that I needed. I was truly 43. This made me 44 all the children who did not have homes or food, let alone 45 for Christmas.
