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.

A. Jeans makers B. film stars

The aim (目的) of students who come to school is to study. But to study needs a right way, or we will waste (浪費) the time or the money. Here are some good ways for studying.

When we are studying, we must put our hearts (心) into the book. We can not read absent-mindedly (心不在焉地), or we can get nothing from the book when we are reading.

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺騙)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture．

For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”

This guy is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!

He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.

Some officers often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she tries another term. One of the persons who don’t support her says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.’’

Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache. ”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.

This kind of thing happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

1.We may infer that the author believes people should ________.

A. be careful about what they are told

B. make use of half—truths

C. buy lottery tickets if possible

D. not trust the Yucky Company

2.How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?

A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Using half truths is against the law.

B. Technically, half truths are in fact lies.

C. Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.

D. Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.

4.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?

A. He’s really a big loser!

B. Sometimes the truth can lie．

C. Advertisers will sometimes use half truths．

D. It’s against the law to make false statements．
