WORN IN THE USA
Levi Strauss could not think that he would make a new fashion when he
started his business Career.
In 1853 he arrived in California from New York. He intended to sell
strong canvas (pieces of cloth) to miners to make tents. However, Levi
Strauss found that the miners needed hard wearing pants. So he took his
canvas to a local tailor and asked him to make. several pairs ofpants.
Miners used to put gold ore into their pockets, so Levi decided to make
each pocket stronger with cooper rivets. They were a great success
because the miners loved them. When Levi ran out of canvas, his brothers
sent him a new fabri'c called denim. Denim was a soft, durnble fabric,
which was more comfortable and easier to wear than canvas.
Jeans were important to the people of the nineteentl! century, especially

farmers, cowhands, railroad workers, and miners. This was because they
were so strong and didn't wear out easily. So people who didn't make a
lot of money didn't have to continual1y buy new pants.
But only until mid 20th century did the teenagers tum jeans into
fashionable wear. Jeans were considered sexy, dangerous and worn by
romantic cowboys and Hollywood heroes like Marion Brando, James
Dean and Elvis Presley.
And so, the workwear for miners of the last century has become a fashion
phenomenon of the 20th century.

SPIDERS

D

Spiders are not insects! They are actually arachnids - invertebrates
(animals without backbones). They have eight legs and inject venom.
Spiders are found on every continent except Antarctica. There are over
44,000 known kinds of spiders. Spiders are found everywhere and are
often found in homes!

4

Spiders are unique among animals in that many spin webs out of silk. The
webs catch insects and the spiders eat them later. Larger spiders such as
tarantulas attack insects rather than spin webs. Most spiders eat insects,
but tarantulas and larger spiders will eat small lizards and mammals as
well.
Many people fear spiders. Most spiders, however, are totally harmless to
humans and are actually beneficial because they eat insecls. Even the
largest tarantula, the Goliath Bird-eating Tarantula is harmless to humans.
A tarantula bite is said to be about as painful as a bee sting. Some spiders,
however, such as the Black Widow Spider, are dangerous to humans.
Bites from these spiders usually require immediate medical allention.

REX

B

C

D

Tyrannosaurus Rex, also known as T-Rex, lived in what is now Western
North America. At the time the T-Rex lived, the continent was known as
Larimidia. The T-Rex lived between 85-66 milIion years ago. The T-Rex
is thought to be one of the last non-flying dinosaurs in the world.

-

The T-Rex was one of the largest land animals ever found on earth. It was
nearly 40 feet long, 13 feet tall. The T-Rex could weigh from four to
seven tons. Sci enlists know that the T -Rex had a massive skull and a long,
heavy tail to support its mass. The arms, although proportionally very
small, were powerful with two clawed digits (like fingers). The hindlegs
of this dinosaur were long and powerful. Studies have suggested that the T
Rex possessed the most powerful bite of any land animal to have lived on
Earth. According to a study by Karl Bates and Peter Falinkgham (2012),
the bite of a T-Rex was three and a half times more powerful than that of a
Great White Shark and 15 times more powerful than the bite of an African

Scientists also believe that the body of the T-Rex was partially covered in
feathers for at least part of its existence on Earth. Scientists are also not in

People joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watehes Tv, rents
videos, or goes to the movies. The most popular reading materials are

eomic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. Very few people go to
city libraries. But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in
west Los Angeles is "sold out" year after year. People wait half an hour
for a parking space to become available.

7

,,;...;I,

This outdoor festival is sponsored by a newspaper. It occurs every April
for one weekend. The festival featured 280 exhibitors. There were about
90 talks given by authors. Autograph seekers sought out more than 150
authors. A food court sold all kinds of popular and ethnic foods, from
American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks. Exeept for a $7
parking fee, the festival was free. Even so, some people avoided the food
court prices by bringing their own sandwiehes and drinks.
.?;,

People came from all over California. One couple drove down from San
Francisco. "This is our sixth year here now. We love it," said the husband.
"It's just fantastic to be in the great outdoors, to be among so many books
and authors, and to get some very good deals, too."
The idea for the festival oceurred years ago, but nobody knew if it would
succeed, Although~bookfestivals.were
already popular in otherUS cities,
would Los Angeles residents embrace one? "Angelenos are very
unpredictable," said one of the festival founders.
