问题    Levi Strauss, a young immigrant (移民) from Germany, arrived in San Francisco in 1850. California was in the middle of the Gold Rush, Thousands of men were coming to California to dig for gold. And Levi Strauss came to sell canvas (帆布) to these gold miners. Canvas is a heavy fabric. So Levi Strauss thought the miners could use the canvas for tents.
   One day Strauss heard a miner complain that he couldn’t find clothes strong enough for the work he was doing, Strauss got an idea. He quickly took some of his canvas and made it into pants (裤子). These pants were what the miners needed. In one day Strauss sold all the pants he had made. Strauss wanted to improve his pants. He wanted to make them even better. He bought a fabric that was softer than canvas but just as strong. This fabric came from Nimes, a city in France, and was called "serge de Nimes". The miners liked this fabric. They called it "denim" (from "de Nimes") and bought even more pants from Strauss. However, denim had no color. Because of this the denim pants did not look very interesting, and they got dirty easily. To solve these problems, Strauss dyed (染) the denim blue. Strauss continued to improve his jeans. Today, the company he started is known around the world, And Jeans are considered not just practical but very fashionable as well.
This article mainly tells about the story of ______.
选项 A、blue jeans
B、Levi Strauss
C、Gold Rush
D、a kind of fabric
答案A
解析 纵观全文，虽然Levi Strauss是故事的主人公，但本文并没有讲述他的生平故事，而是讲述Levi Strauss如何发明牛仔裤(blue jeans)，以及如何使之不断完善的过程。所以本题的正确答案应该是A。
