Jeans give you the feeling of comfort(舒适), youth（青春）and energy（活力）. Every person likes them very much.

Levi Strauss is an American company. It first made blue jeans. The company was founded(建立) in 1853 by 24-year-old Levi Strauss. Twenty years later, he made first blue jeans in the world. The jeans were used as working trousers for the cowboys （牛仔） of American West. During the Second World War, American soldiers brought blue jeans to Europe and Asia. People there began to wear jeans. Little by little, they become cool.

People from different countries like different styles of jeans. Americans like to wear simple and single-colored jeans, but many Chinese people like to wear jeans with lots of different colors.

Now we can see jeans everywhere. However, in many places, it’s not always good to wear je ans. No matter how good they may look, or what color they are, it’s often not right to wear jeans in formal（正式的) places. But when you are out, relaxing or having fun, jeans are the best choices.

Most people like having a picnic. But what does the word mean Where does it come from What is a picnic

For most people a picnic is a meal they eat outside the home, usually in a park, by a river, or even sitting in a car if the weather is cold and wet. At one time, however, (66)people had picnics at home at their own dinner tables.

The word picnic comes from the French words piquer which means “to pick” or “take” and pique-nipue which means “a small coin”. (67)Everyone who came to a picnic brought something to eat. They took or picked small pieces of food from each plate. They had a pique-nique. This kind of meal was popular in Britain, The British used the French words for it but changed the letters to make “picnic”. This is the way we write it today.

(68)In some countries there are big picnics on special days. Lots of people go

to parks on these picnics. For most people, however, a picnic is a family party. The family puts some food and drink in a basket, gets in the car and goes off to

a nice place in the country or by the sea.
