T-shirts, so-called because when you lay them out they look like the letter T, are such a universal item of clothing that it is surprising to realize that no one wore them except as underwear until the second half of the 20th century.

American soldiers serving in Europe in the 1914—1918 War were equipped with heavy wool uniforms, which were extremely hot during the humid(潮湿的)summers. They noticed the French colleagues wore lightweight cotton shirts when the weather was hot. The nickname(绰号,诨名) “T-shirt” for this useful piece of clothing quickly caught on by the 1920s, it was already in Webster’s Dictionary of American English. By the time of the 1939—1945 war, it had become standard tissue clothing for USA soldiers.

At first, it was regarded as an undershirt, and was never worn as “outerwear”. However, the performances of two charming Hollywood movie stars, Marion Brando and James Dean, changed all this. The two actors are usually credited with making the T-shirt a stylish and desirable piece of clothing. Very soon, it was an indispensable fashion item for American young men.

The popularity of T-shirts rocketed during the 1970s, when rock and roll bands realized that they could make significant amounts of money selling their T-shirts. Professional sports teams also adopted the idea, and big companies began to produce T-shirts with their logo on the front and gave them away to their customers. Very soon, T-shirts carrying the brand names of international brands became commonplace.

 ___________ .

A. you can’t buy it                                    B. you can't throw it away

  For many years, T-shirts were simple short-sleeved undershirts for men and boys. T-shirts used to be of one color——white. And since they were worn under shirts, they were generally not seen.

  Today the T-shirt has become fashionable. It can be seen everywhere and on everyone. Women and little children wear T-shirts as teenagers, university students, and men from all walks of life do. T-shirts are worn on playground, at the beach or in town. They can also be worn for work. Yet T-shirts remain relatively inexpensive and long wearing, as well as easy to care for. Smart but comfortable and convenient to wear, they have become one of America's newest ideas on fashion.

  Although T-shirts are now available in a wide variety of bright materials and styles, the most popular kind is the traditional cotton T-shirts with a slogan or picture printed on the front. A T-shirt may bear a single word, a popular phrase, pictures of popular singers, or an advertisement. As T-shirts are becoming more and more popular, new designs are coming up all the time.
