What is American clothing or fashion? Can you think of a piece of clothing that is connected with American culture? Your answer must be blue jeans. Do you know the history of these well-loved pants (裤子)?

When we talk about jeans, we may think of Levi Strauss. He did not invent jeans, but he was considered the first person to make and sell great numbers of them. He was born in Bavaria, an area that today is part of Germany. In 1847, he and his family came to the United States. Levi Strauss opened a small store, first in New York, then in San Francisco, California. Among the products he sold were jeans. These pants were especially useful for miners (矿工) in California. They needed clothing made from a strong material. Jeans are usually made from a heavy cotton cloth.

Levi Strauss partnered with a clothing maker named Jacob Davis. They worked together and found a way to make the jeans stronger. In 1873, the government gave Strauss and Davis a patent for their invention. That meant no one else could legally copy it without their permission (许可).

Cowboys wore jeans in the old Wild West. In the 1950s, people saw famous Hollywood actors like James Dean and Marlon Brando wearing jeans in movies. Today jeans still come in blue mainly but also lots of other colors. They can also differ widely in price. You might find jeans for 15 dollars in a store.

It’s important to know how to be safe when you’re with animals. Both indoor animals and outdoor animals need to be treated kindly all the time. This means different things depending on the animal and the situation. With a wild animal, being kind may mean staying far away so the animal doesn’t feel threatened and so you stay safe.

The rule in the great outdoors is simple: Don’t touch or go near an animal. Although some of these animals may look cool or even cute, leave them alone. These animals aren’t like regular pets. They’re not used to being around people and may bite or attack you if you come near them. They also might have rabies (狂犬病).

Don’t try to feed a wild animal. Bird feeders are OK, but other animals, even if they look hungry, shouldn’t ever be fed. When it comes to these animals, it’s better for everyone if you stay away and check them out at the zoo, on the Internet, on TV nature shows, or in books.

If a pet looks sick or is injured, stay far away. An animal that normally loves to be petted and play may get very upset and even bite you when it is feeling ill. Tell an adult so he or she can get help for the animal.　

If a dog starts running toward you, don’t run. If a strange dog approaches you, try to stand very still. This may be scary for a minute or two, but often the dog will become bored and walk away. If the dog tries to sniff (嗅) you, let it sniff — this is its way of checking you out.
