单选题A Levi Strauss, a young immigrant (移民) from Germany, arrived in San Francisco in 1850. California was in the middle of the Gold Rush, Thousands of men were coming to California to dig for gold. And Levi Strauss came to sell canvas (帆布) to these gold miners. Canvas is a heavy fabric. So Levi Strauss thought the miners could use the canvas for tents. One day Strauss heard a miner complain that he couldn't find clothes strong enough for the work he was doing, Strauss got an idea. He quickly took some of his canvas and made it into pants (裤子). These pants were what the miners needed. In one day Strauss sold all the pants he had made. Strauss wanted to improve his pants. He wanted to make them even better. He bought a fabric that was softer than canvas but just as strong. This fabric came from Nimes, a city in France, and was called "serge de Nimes". The miners liked this fabric. They called it "denim" (from "de Nimes") and bought even more pants from Strauss. However, denim had no color. Because of this the denim pants did not look very interesting, and they got dirty easily. To solve these problems, Strauss dyed (染) the denim blue. Strauss continued to improve his jeans. Today, the company he started is known around the world, And Jeans are considered not just practical but very fashionable as well.

单选题{{B}}C{{/B}} Unemployment (失业) rose from 7.5% in June, 1996 to 7.8% in July, 1996, the highest rate since January of that year, the Labor Department reported. The main reason was a large increase—nearly 700,000 in the labor force, with a record 61.9% of the population over sixteen years of age working or actively looking for work. That growth was caused mainly by an increase in the number of women in the labor force, an increase partly because of a continuation of long-term and economic trends (经济趋势)and partly a reflection of pressure on families to increase their incomes.

单选题Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot (行李箱). Mr. Johnson's car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin，Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. "Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly," Mr. Johnson said. "I couldn't force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in." Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape. Later he said, "It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew (拧开) the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came." It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by."It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up." His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer's wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, "That thirty minutes seemed like hours." Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.
