A HISTORY OF BLUE JEANS

Almost everyone today wears blue jeans. Toddlers wear them. Kids wear them. Teen-agers and adults wear them. Even grandparents wear blue jeans. Have you ever thought about who invented blue jeans. The first really tough pair of jeans was invented by Levi Strauss about 100 years ago.
Levi Strauss was a tailor who made pants for minors. At first Mr. Strauss used tent canvas to make his pants. Soon his pants became so popular that he had to find a new fabric to use. He ordered new fabric from a city in France called Nîmes (pronounced neem). Over time the fabric Mr. Strauss used to make his famous pants became known as denim (de Nîmes, which is French for "from Nîmes). We still call the fabric we use to make jeans by the name denim.

Yesterday at six o’clock I was driving home from work and as usual there was a heavy traffic. Because the weather was very hot, I opened all the windows of the car. I was driving along Apple Street and I stopped at the red light. A shop on the street was selling things and people were looking at the prices of the clothes. I was very tired and while I was waiting for the lights to change, I was listening to the radio.

Suddenly a boy came to the side of my car, took my bag and started to run. He was running through the crowd. I stopped the car but the cars behind me were beeping the horns.

A) READING

WHY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU?
People need to be active to be healthy. Our modern lifestyle and all the conveniences we've become used to have made us inactive - and that's dangerous for our health. Sitting around in front of the TV or the computer, riding in the car for even a short trip to the store and using elevators instead of stairs or ramps all contribute to our inactivity.
Physical inactivity is as dangerous to our health as smoking! Add up your activities during the day in periods of at least 10 minutes each. Start slowly and build up. If you're already doing some light activities move up to more moderate ones. A little is good, but more is better if you want to achieve health benefits. Scientists say 60 minutes of physical activity every day to stay healthy or improve your health. Time needed depends on effort - as you progress to moderate activities, you can cut down to thirty minutes, four days a week. Physical activity doesn't have to be very hard to improve your health.
This goal can be reached by building physical activities into your daily routine. Just add up in periods of at least ten minutes each throughout the day. After three months of regular physical activity, you will notice a difference - people often say getting started is the hardest part.
