W: Dan, long time no see. How are you going these days? M: I’ve spent the whole summer vacation preparing my essay. W: What is it about？
M: Jeans. The history of jeans.
W: Sounds quite appealing. In my memory, jeans were only worn by poor people and laborers. They are affordable and highly valued as work wear.
M: Exactly. They were rough clothing worn by working men because of its durability. They wear well and wash easily, which is superior to other materials. W: What did middle class people wear at that time?
M: In contrast, middle and upper class people wore suits made of material like linen as a symbol of status.
W: Then, why did jeans become trendy?
M: I think there are three factors contributing to their popularity. Firstly, in 1908, the expiration of a patent “Levi’s” led to jeans on the market. W: You mean, the imitation jeans flooded on the market.
M: Yes. Secondly, the Romanization of “cowboy lifestyle” made jeans popular. W: I agree. A large number of western films helped their popularity such as Rebel Without a Cause and The Wild One. In the film, heroes wore jeans as a way of rebelling against social expectations. What else?
M: In the 1980s, interest in jeans ran high with the release of a series of sex and violence ads.
W: As you mentioned, jeans were a symbol of rebellion, were they allowed in schools or other formal occasions?
M: No, but as time went on, they become acceptable. People often wear them when they are not on duty to show their identity and a positive and casual lifestyle. W: That’s why they become popular after World War II. M: That’s quite reasonable. I didn’t realize it.

Time to Learn How to Sort
Whatever we don’t want ---- no matter whether it’s eggshells, newspapers, soda cans or old socks ---- it’s all garbage. And garbage goes to the garbage bin. There seems to be ___21___wrong with that. But do you really know how to throw away garbage properly?
China ___22___ (promote) garbage sorting for over a decade, but for the majority of the public the concept hasn’t sunk in. Shenzhen issued a new regulation. It says residents will be fined up to 100 yuan and organizations 1,000 yuan for not sorting rubbish ___23___specific groups.

“It’s evident that the government is determined to push this forward,” said Zhang Ning, a program officer ___24___(serve) in a Beijing-based public welfare organization. “But I’m afraid the regulation will prove to be counter-productive because garbage sorting has never been achieved by merely imposing severe punishments.”
A recent survey found that 49.5 percent of the respondents said they still don’t know how to sort garbage, ___25___45.5percent just can’t be bothered to do it. “Lots of citizens ___26___(confuse)about what’s recyclable and what’s general waste. For example, it’s scarcely known that tissue is non-recyclable because it’s too moisture-prone and usually too polluted ___27___ (recycle).” said Zhang, a representative.
According to Zhang, 70 percent of garbage is a“ ___28___(misplace)resource”. For instance, a ton of waste steel can be refined into 0.9 tons of usable steel, and a ton of kitchen waste is able to produce 0.3 tons of organic fertilizer.
But all of this is based on the condition ___29___the garbage is categorized properly. And the behavior of households ____30____the sorting process initially starts ---- is the key. Garbage sorting is a chain effect. Misconduct at the very beginning will make all the following efforts go in vain.
Garbage sorting is a complex issue and takes patience. So next time when you throw away what is called “garbage”, do it in the right way. 【答案】21. nothing
22. has promoted/ has been promoting 23. into 24. serving 25. while 26. are confused 27. to be recycled 28. misplaced 29. that 30. where 【解析】
