VII. Read the passage below and choose the correct answer to each of the questions

A young man from Germany named Levi Strauss arrived in California in 1850. He went there to sell things to the miners. He saw that the miners needed strong pants, so he began to make them. He used cloth that people made tents from. He put rivets on the pockets to make them strong because the men put rocks in their pockets. These pants were very strong and lasted a long time. The pants became very popular immediately.

Later Mr. Strauss started making jeans from cotton cloth from Nimes, France. People called this cloth denim. Denim was popular in the fifteenth century. Christopher Columbus used denim for the sails of his ships. Sailors in Genoa, Italy, wore denim pant. The words “jeans” comes from the word “Genoa”. Mr. Strauss made the first jeans in the United States, but the idea and the kind of cloth came from Europe.

Jeans were always blue until recently. People used indigo to dye them. Indigo is the oldest dye in the world. Most jeans have blue threads going across and white threads going up and down. These two colors make denim look different from other kinds of cloth.

Levi Strauss, một người nhập cư trẻ tuổi từ Đức, đến San Francisco vào năm 1850. California đang ở giữa cơn sốt vàng, hàng ngàn người đàn ông đến California để đào vàng và Levi Strauss đến bán vải bạt cho những người khai thác vàng này. Canvas là một loại vải nặng. Vì vậy, Levi Strauss nghĩ rằng những người thợ mỏ có thể sử dụng vải bạt để làm lều.

Một ngày nọ, Strauss nghe một người thợ mỏ phàn nàn rằng anh ta không thể tìm thấy quần áo đủ chắc chắn cho công việc đang làm. Trong một ngày, Strauss đã bán tất cả những chiếc quần anh đã làm.
Strauss muốn cải thiện chiếc quần của mình, anh ấy muốn làm cho chúng tốt hơn nữa. Anh ta mua một loại vải mềm hơn vải canvas nhưng cũng chắc chắn. Loại vải này đến từ Nimes, một thành phố ở Pháp, và được gọi là serge de Nimes. Những người thợ mỏ thích loại vải này, họ gọi nó là "denim" (từ de Nimes) và thậm chí còn mua nhiều quần hơn từ Strauss.

Tuy nhiên, denim không có màu sắc vì điều này, quần denim trông không được thú vị cho lắm và chúng dễ bị bẩn. Để giải quyết những vấn đề này, Strauss đã làm cho vải denim có màu xanh lam.

Strauss tiếp tục cải tiến quần jean của mình. Ngày nay, công ty mà ông thành lập đã được biết đến trên toàn thế giới và quần jean được coi là không chỉ thiết thực mà còn rất thời trang.

The Origin of Jeans

In 1853, the California gold rush was in full swing and everyday items were in short supply. Levi Srrauss, a 24-year-old German immigrant, left New York for San Francisco with a small supply of dry goods with the intention of opening a branch of his brother’s New York dry goods business. Shortly after his arrival, a prospector wanted to know what Mr. Strauss was selling. When Strauss told him he had rough canvas cloth to use for tents and wagon covers, the prospector said, “You should have brought trousers!”, because he couldn’t find a pair of trousers strong enough to last.

Levi Strauss had the canvas made into work trousers. Miners liked the trousers, but complained that the fabric was not very comfortable and tended to chafe. Levi Strauss substituted the canvas with a twilled cotton cloth from France called “serge de Nimes.” The fabric later became known as denim and the trousers were nicknamed blue jeans. Then Levi Strauss and Nevada tailor David Jacobs co-patented the process of putting small metal rivets in places such as the sides of the pockets that needed extra strength. On May 20, 1873, they received U.S. Patent No. 139.121 This date is now considered the official birthday of“blue jeans”

But why were they called blue jeans? Denim is unique in its singular connection with one color. It is made from thread that is traditionally dyed with the blue pigment obtained from indigo dye. Indigo was linked with practical fabrics and work clothing. The durability of indigo as a color and its darkness of tone made it a good choice when frequent washing was not possible.

What was Levi Strauss ’job?

A. He was a clothes designer.

B. He was a prospector.

C. He was selling textiles and clothing.

D. He was selling tools for gold mining.
