known as "cowboys". In China, jeans are known as niuzaiku, also, "cowboy trousers", which
means they are connected with the American West cowboy culture and outdoor work.
Jeans are usually made from denim (粗布), but may also be made from other materials. The earliest
known cloth for jeans was a thick cotton cloth from the Indians. At first they were working clothes. They
became popular among teenagers in the 1950s. Today jeans are a very popular form of casual wear around
the world and come in many styles and colors.
Jeans were first made in Genoa in Italy. The trousers were made for the Genoese navy (海军) because
they needed trousers which could be worn wet or dry, and whose legs could be easily rolled up while the
men were cleaning the ships. These jeans would be washed by pulling them in large fishing nets behind the
ship, and the sea water would make them white.
In the 1850s Levi Strauss, a business man living in San Francisco, was selling blue jeans under the
"Levi"s" name to the coal workers of California.
During World War II, the coal workers liked jeans very much because they were strong and did not tear
easily. In the 1950s, jeans became popular with young people in the United States. Wearing of blue jeans by
teenagers was the symbol of rebels (反叛者) in TV programmes and movies. Some cinemas and restaurants
refused to let people in if they wore blue jeans. In the 1980s, jeans finally became high fashion clothing, when
famous designers started making their own styles of jeans, with their own labels on them. Sales of jeans went
up and up.

early 20s Verne decided to become a writer. At first he wrote plays for the theater. Then, in 1863, he wrote

At airports, porters usually get a dollar tip for each bag. Hotel bellhops (男侍) usually get a dollar for

and waitresses-is between 10 and 20 percent of the bill. The size of the tip depends on how pleased the

different from Modern English. If we do not study old English, we can"t understand it. Some of the words
are the same, but many are not used now. The story of the English language begins some time after the year
400 AD. At this time, some people came to England from North-west Europe. There were many groups of
people. They were called Angles (盎格鲁人), Saxons (撒克逊人) and Jutes (朱特人), whose language, old
English, is like some of the modern language of North-West Europe. In old English, the ending had many

large stretch of land left unused is full of scenic beauty. On the one hand it is proud of its urban areas, and

On the east coast of the country there are cities like New York, the leading city in business. Washington,
D.C. is the capital of the country, where you will get an opportunity to see the White House. The city will
simply impress you, with many museums showing the culture, lifestyle, art and architecture of the country.
Another place worth visiting is Miami, one of the most popular international tourist destinations. It is also
well known for its Latin culture, wonderful urban nightlife and beaches.
Moving to the west coast, you will come across the most amazing places in which to relax. Los Angeles
is the place where you can see life in all its many forms; this city is world-famous for its Hollywood film
industry. It also has beaches that can offer breathtaking surfing experiences.
Moving on to the Pacific Coast Highway, we get to see the beauty of San Francisco. Clean beaches and
mountains topped (盖住) by clouds are worth seeing. Travelers can enjoy day trips to beaches, deserts and
wine-producing regions. Chicago lies on the shore of the Great Lakes and is believed to be the fastest
growing city in the world, with its high standard of living and rich lifestyles. The city is a center for many

on its own, of course. But think about what the words mean when they are used together. Homesick means
SICK FOR HOME.
Now think for a minute about. If you change the word home in the definition (释义) to the word sea,
would the definition fit SEASICK? Does seasick mean SICK FOR SEA? It means something quite different.
Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA. When you are homesick, the only place you want
to be at home. When you are seasick, the last place you want to he is at sea.
Have you ever heard of a person being heartsick? Heart-sick doesn"t mean that something is wrong with
a person"s heart. People are heartsick when they are hurt deep inside and when they feel as if their hearts are
broken.
But, on the other hand, we have such compound words as handshake and handbag. Perhaps you may
write definitions for them and knowing something like this must be helpful in your English study.
