专项练习一
For over one
hundred and
fifty years,
Americans of
all social
classes have
worn blue
jeans.
1
Whether they
are worn for
work or for
fashion
today.Strauss'
invention continues
to be popular
not only
among Americans
but also
among people
around the
world.
Levi Strauss
was born in
Germany in
1829.

He grew up
in Kentucky
before moving
to New York
in
1847.Before
becoming an
American citizen
and moving to
the West in
1853, Strauss
worked in his
brother's dry
goods
business.This
gave him a
chance to
produce his
famous
invention.After
the gold rush
of 1849,
Strauss decided
to move to
the West to
seek his
fortunes.
Strauss did
not want to
be a person
who searched
an area for
minerals.Instead,
he knew he
could make a
good living
by selling
supplies to
the
miners.At
first, he
planned to
sell sewing
supplies and
cloth.

When he heard
miners complaining
that their
clothes were
easily broken
or they
usually tore
their pockets
during mining,
he decided to
use a special
fabric to
make pants
for the
miners.These
pants proved
so popular
that he
quickly ran
out of
materials to
make more.
In 1873,
Strauss received
a letter from
a Jewish
tailor named
Jacob Davis
who had
invented a
process of
connecting pockets
with copper
rivets(铆钉).This
made the
pants last a
long
time.Because
Davis did not
have the
money to
patent his
idea, he
offered to
