防潮
In 1848, gold was discovered in California; from all over the nation, thousands of young men t out for California. People called this the time of the Gold Rush.
A gold miner came into a city looking for a pair of pants. He wanted pants strong enough to stand up to the rough work of mining. He met a young man named Levi, who sold heavy cloth for tents and wagon tops. They asked a tailor to u heavy cloth for their pants. Then Levi went into the business of making work pants. He asked his brothers to nd him some strong blue cotton cloth called denim (斜纹粗棉布). With this blue denim cloth, Levi started making the kind of pants we call blue jeans today. They were wed up in the same way as other pants.
In 1860, a miner said that the pockets weren't strong enough to hold the pieces of gold h
e found. The pockets kept falling off the pants. The cloth was all right. It was the thread that wasn't strong enough. So Levi ud rivets (铆钉) to attach the pockets onto the pants.
Cowboys needed tough pants, too. They liked their pants to fit tightly. But the rivets marked the cowboys' saddles. So Levi covered the rivets with cloth. Then everybody was happy.（答案：ADCCB）
