Jeans are ver ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y popular all over the world. It’s comfortable to wear jeans. And they give us the feeling of youth and energy. A lot of people like wearing them.
The history of blue jeans began with a man named Levi Strauss. He did not invent jeans. But he was the first person to make and sell them in large numbers. Levi Strauss was born in 1829 in Germany. He moved to the United States at the age of 18 with his family. He opened a small store and sold jeans. These pants were very useful for miners (矿工) at first. They liked them because they needed strong clothes. Jacob Davis invented a step for making rivets (铆钉) for jeans. Levi Strauss worked with him. They helped make the jeans stronger.
During the Second World War, American soldiers brought blue jeans to Europe. People there began to wear jeans.
　　Now we can see jean ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s everywhere. However, it’s often not proper to wear jeans in formal places. But when you are out, relaxing or having fun, jeans are the best choice.

Sadness and happiness are often talked about by people in their spare time. Most people want themselves to be happy for ever, but few know how to find happiness. Others say if you own lots of money and success, you will be happy. However, money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. A famous a Greek thinker, Aristotle, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” That’s to say, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, which makes us fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping or help out with some things around the house for an elderly person.
If you do above, you will be happy.
54. In this passage ______ suggestions of happiness are mentioned.
A. one B. two C. three D. four
55. If you want to enjoy the simple things in life, you can ______.
A. listen to your favorite music B. remember some problems
C. think about getting into college D. read a bad book

A. Money and success alone do not bring you lasting happiness.
B. If you want t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o feel happier, you can go shopping for an elderly person.
C. Spending so much t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ime thinking about the future can make people enjoy the present.

Do you know why so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )many animals do not stay in one place Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
When cold weather ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon” (鲑鱼). This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it will return to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster (龙虾). Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.
58. The reason for most of the animals to move is ______.
A. to get away f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rom un-crowded places B. to find their own parents
C. to want to kill ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )themselves D. to find food more easily
59. According to the passage young salmons spend their life ______.
A. in fresh wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ter B. in salt water C. in mountain homes. D. in their birthplace
60. The lobsters begin to move to another place when ______.
A. their homes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )become too crowded B. the season of the bad weather arrives
C. they want to give birth D. their food is eaten up
61. The Chinese meaning of the word “migration” in the passage is probably _______.
A. 迁徙 B. 习性 C. 运动 D. 寻觅

Naturally, American schoolchildren love holidays. And they get a lot of them each year. Besides having national holidays such as Thanksgiving and Presidents’ Day off from school, students get longer breaks in the spring and during the summer holidays. In fact, kids in the US only go to school for about 180 days a year. To students, holidays are perfect. However, parents think there are advantages (优点) and disadvantages (不足).
On the one hand, school holidays allow families to spend time together. Many American parents take time off from work during June, July or August to travel with their children on vacations either in the US or in a foreign country. On the other hand, schoolchildren get much more time off school than parents get vacation time. This means that parents with young children may have to pay more in babysitting or daycare costs. As well, the long summer holidays mean that students sometimes get bored.
Besides going on trips with their parents, American students enjoy taking part in different kinds of activities during the holidays. For example, some kids enjoy summer camps and outdoor adventure (冒险) holidays. Such trips are great for adventurous students. They also have a lot to offer students who aren’t usually interested in traditional PE activities. You can do courses in survival (生存) skills, for example. Students learn how to make a camp in the forest, which wild food they can eat and how to find their way back to the center.
Students who are not excited about summer camps and outdoor adventure may take part in courses in computer game design, filmmaking and photography during the holidays. Finally, the traditional (传统的) school trip to foreign country is always popular. Students can practice their foreign language skills and experience everyday life in a different culture.
62. Kids in the US are at school for ______ every year.
A. about 180 days B. about 280 days
B. about 200 days D. about 300 days
63.The underlined w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ord “They” in the third paragraph refers to (指代) ______.
A. some kids B. different traditional PE activities
C. parents D. summer camps and outdoor adventure
64. Which of the following is TRUE
A. Both parents and students think school holidays are perfect.
B. Parents can take care of their young children during all the holidays.
C. Students ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )enjoy taking part in different kinds of activities during holidays.
D. Students don’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) like to have school trips to foreign countries during holidays.
65. The best title of this passage may be ______.

Why do people wear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) clothes The answer will probably be “To make me warm and to cover my body”. That’s why people wear clothes, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to 80 .
If people only wore ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple 81 cheap. In many countries, however, clothes are sometimes very expensive.

Successful businessm ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. So they 83 thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It’s still just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the 84 designer.
Fashion is constant ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly (持续不断的) 85 . It means that people who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, 86 if last month’s clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have boxes full 87 clothes, but some of these clothes have never been worn. These clothes are no longer in fashion though they are still new.
