Perhaps the most famous clothing brand name(服装品牌名称) in the world，Levi Strauss ＆Co．is the inventor of blue denim jeans．Here’s how it happened．
In the mid-1800s many people went to California to look for gold．A young German named Levi Strauss traveled to San Francisco to help his brother on business．He sold canvas(帆布) to the workers for tents．But the workers said they needed pants more，because their pants were easy to wear out．Instead of selling his canvas for tent-making，he turned them into pants．These kinds of pants were very popular with workers．He was very happy and named the kind of pants “denims”．And in 1853 he founded Levi Strauss & Co．
Twenty years later the company began using a design with pockets．During the working，Strauss developed the process for putting metal rivets(铆钉) in the jeans for strength．On May 20，1873，they received the U. S. Patent No. 139，121 for the process and that date is now considered the official birthday of“blue jeans”．
Today the company still has its factories in San Francisco，California．Over 11，000 people work in them and bring in over $4 billion a year．

7．A。look forward to doing sth．意为“盼望做某事”。
8．D。thanks to是固定搭配，意为“多亏，幸亏”。
9．A。find out意为“查清楚，弄明白”，指经过认真观察、调查或研究把某事、某物查出来搞清楚。

1．B。句意：我在收音机上听到了一首新歌。我在音乐商店里到处搜寻，但我找不到这首歌。search 搜查，搜寻；have searched是现在完成时的形式；am searching是现在进行时的形式；will search是一般将来时的形式。根据语境该用现在完成时，所以选B。
2．D。句意：麦克过去是一名尖子生。但是自从他沉迷于电脑游戏后，他落后了。根据since 时间状语从句可知本题应该用现在完成时。fall behind落后，是个瞬间动作，当句中有since, for等表示时间段的时间状语时，要把瞬间动作改为持续动作，所以应该用be behind, 正确答案选D。

Growing up with good books
My dear friends，
Reading is very important．We can get knowledge through reading．It can not only open our minds，but also make us cleverer and happier．Our study can be improved if we read more good books．The more we read，the more we will learn，and the brighter our future will become．However，some students spend much time in listening to music，watching TV or going online to play games．It takes much of their spare time．I would like to suggest that everyone should read more books，especially read classics so that we can spread our Chinese traditional culture to the world．
Let’s start reading now．And let it become a part of our life!
