7．In the US，everyone likes to wear jeans．Thy are nice to wear and look good.34． Thywere first made in America over 100 years ago!
  Davis was German．He was a clothes maker.35．He wanted to make pants that didn't break easily．He worked hard at it and soon found a kind of cloth．It was so strong that it could be used for making overalls（工作服）．But it was expensive．So he asked a rich American called Jacob for help．They started to work on the jeans in 1873．Everyone wanted them．Their jeans are still popular around the world today．
4．How would we travel without maps？It would be a bit adventurous （冒险的） to set off from Oxford University to go to London Bridge if there wasn't a map of the London Underground at each station．In fact，a lot of the early map-makers were adventurers and explorers，especially in the 15th and 16th centuries．
So what did people do before there were maps？Well，it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers if you were travelling on foot or riding a horse．People took small boats down rivers and followed coastlines．And it was much more logical （合理的） to use time，not distance，to measure （计量） journeys：the next village is a three-hour ride，for example．
In fact，in the earliest maps，people didn't draw landmarks．They drew the stars．It was very easy to see the night sky and use it for navigation （航行）．The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities that we have today．When towns and cities were built，people drew road maps which gave correct distances and directions．
The London Underground was opened in 1863and it also used a road map style．But a man called Henry Beck realized that travelling by train wasn't the same as driving your car across London．Passengers only needed to know which stations to change at．His new design （设计） for the Underground map wasn't very popular with the train companies at first．But the passengers loved it and in 1933，700，000copies were printed．
These days，of course，you can ride a bike，drive a car or go through a forest and know where you are exactly，using a GPS．It's really difficult to get lost!

C．Cities and towns，D．Mountains and rivers．
78．When did road maps come out？D

C．When people began to travel by sea．D．When cities and towns appeared．
79．Which of the following is true？B
A．A GPS helped people to travel long time ago．
B．Ancient people could travel on a horse without maps．
C．The sky was polluted by light before cities were built．
D．Henry Beck's map wasn't popular with the passengers．

C．We can't travel without maps．D．Henry Beck designed a new map．
11．When your great-grandparents（曾祖父母）were   young，the world was very different．People did not have the kind of technology that we have today to communicate  with each other．Things such as cell phones and computers were not yet invented．It took longer For people to get news about each other．Today's technology makes it easier and faster to stay close to people．
Long ago，people  wrote letters to stay in touch．From 1860-1861，letters were carried by horses．Only the fastest horse riders were paid to carry letters across the country．Then trains began to carry letters from city to city．By the early 1900s，planes were a faster way to carry letters across the country and around the world．
As times change，new inventions have made it easy to contact friends and family in seconds!People began to use telephones in the late 1800s．Modern phones can do many things．Cell phones can be carried with us wherever we travel．Some phones can even let you take pictures．Theseimages  can be sent to other cell phones．
Computers  have made some of the biggest  changes in communication．The internet sends e-mail messages around the world in seconds!
Although  new technology  helps us stay in touch with each other，many people still enjoy sending and getting letters．With so many ways to communicate，it's easy to find your favourite way to stay in touch．

Many British people say that the main reason they have a pet is to keep them company （陪伴他们）．According to a recent report，60% of people who live on their own have a pet as company．A lot of pet owners treat their pet just like one of the family．Many cat owners make holes in their doors so their cats can come and go as they please．Dog owners spend a lot of time walking their dogs．

5．It seems that everybody tells lies．Not all lies are big．In fact，some lies are"white lies"．We were often taught not to tell lies when we were young．But telling white lies isn't really bad．Most of the time，people do it because they want to protect friendship or they don't want to hurt someone．Here are some ways they do it．
★Giving false excuses．
Sometimes people lie because they don't want to do anything．For example，someone invites you to a party．You think it will be boring，so you say you're busy．
★Lying to make someone feel good．

★Lying to hide bad news．
