7、 everyone wears them. Levi Strauss and Company makes about one-third of all the jeans in the United States and about one-seventh of those in other countries. In fact, for a long time people used the word Levis as a synonym（同義詞）for blue jeans. Thats because Levis were the first jeans ever made. Their

8、 inventor was a German immigrant(移民) named Levi Strauss. Levi Strauss left Germany in 1848, when he was a young man. He came to New York City to be near his two brothers. For two years, he was a door-to-door salesman. He worked hard, but he didnt make much money. Then like many other Easterners, he

9、decided to go to San Francisco. When Levi went West, he brought some canvas ( a very strong cloth) with him. He wanted to sell it to the gold miners for making tents. His canvas was the wrong kind for tents, but Levi found another use for it. A miner told Levi that he needed a strong pair of pants b

10、ecause digging for gold was hard work. When Levi heard that, he made him a pair of canvas pants. The miner paid Levi $6 in gold dust and told the others about “those pants of Levis”. Levi quickly sold a lot of pants, but he ran out of canvas. He wrote to his bothers in New York and told them to send

11、 more. Instead, they sent him some heavy cotton cloth called denim. Much of this kind of cloth came from Genes (the French name for the city of Genoa, Italy).
