Perhaps the most famous clothing brand name(服装品牌名称)in the world is Levi’s. Levi Strauss & Co. is the producer of blue denim jeans. Here’s how it happened.

In the mid 1800s many people went to California to look for gold. A young German named Levi Strauss traveled to San Francisco to help his brother on business. He sold canvas (帆布)to the workers for tents. But the workers said they needed pants more, because their pants were easy to wear out. Instead of selling his canvas for tent-making, he turned it into pants. These kinds of pants were very popular with workers. He was very happy and named the kind of pants “denims”. And in 1853 he founded Levi Strauss ＆ Co.

Twenty years later the company began using a design with pockets. During the working, Strauss developed the process for putting metal rivets (铆钉)in the jeans for strength.

On May 20, 1873, they received the U. S. Patent No.139, 121 for the process and that date is now considered the official birthday of “blue jeans”.

Today the company still has its factories in San Francisco, California. Over 11, 000 people work in them and bring in over $4 billion a year.

Free-diving is diving underwater, holding your breath, without the use of equipment. In ancient times people had to free-dive to get food, such as fish and shellfish. Free divers also c 1. treasures lying at the bottom of the ocean. The Mediterranean Sea, south of Europe, had many trading ships passing through. Often ships sank, sometimes because of storms. They would swim down to the shipwreck and try to lift the most precious pieces. In modern times, free-diving is part of many different a2.such as underwater photography and spearfishing. Sports such as underwater football, rugby and hockey also involve free-diving.

The most dangerous free-diving is practised by a small group of extreme sportsmen and sportswomen who swim very deep.

According to Natalia, when you stop breathing, most of your body’s functions stop. It is as if time itself stopped.
