Нужно написать пересказ этого текста про джинсы (то есть уменьшить текст в несколько раз, и чтобы можно было рассказать)jeans were the classic clothes of the american west. in 1853, a young tailor from germany, called levi strauss, began working in san francisco; levi sold thick canvas to miners; the miners used the canvas to make tents. one day, a miner told levi that he could not find trousers that were strong enough for work in the gold mines. levi decided to make some trousers out of canvas. very soon, he had sold all the canvas trousers he had made! they were just what miners wanted. however, the canvas was rather heavy and stiff. levi therefore began to look for a different textile; soon he found a heavy textile from france; it was called serge de nimes. americans just called this de nimes, and this name soon got reduced to denim. denim was a bit lighter than canvas, but it was very strong; it was ideal for miners. however, original denim was almost white, and miners did not like the color! their denim trousers got dirty as soon as they began working! levi strauss therefore decided to use colored denim, and he chose dark blue. in 1873,he began to make denim trousers with metal rivets to make them stronger. this was a radical new idea: "blue jeans" had arrived! levi's jeans were so popular, that his company got bigger and bigger; soon, other firms were making blue jeans too. miners liked them, but so did cowboys and other working men. blue jeans became classic american working trousers. after the second world war, jeans became popular all over the world. today, blue jeans are made over the world – most of them in asia. very few jeans are now made in the usa, because of the cost: but it is still possible to buy blue jeans that are made in san if you have a lot of money to spend. today there are hundreds of different brands of jeans. many top fashion brands, like armani or benetton, make their own blue jeans. but for real authentic jeans, "levi's" are still the most popular brand.

Ecology is the study that helps to preserve the Earth, its plants and animals. It is also supposed to study the environment and the relationship between human activities and nature. Until recently this relationship was in balance. However, at present times we have to face such ecological problems as acid rain, global warming, loss of rare species, ozone reduction, etc. Many scientists think that it is connected with industrial boom and development of civilization in the world. Building numerous factories people have started to interfere intensively in nature. Every year world industry pollutes the atmosphere with tons of dust and other harmful things. As a result many species of animals and plants disappear forever, including fish and birds. Many large cities suffer from factory smog. Their activity pollutes the air, the water, the forests and the land. Apart from factories there are lots of vehicles in the streets of every more or less developed city. It includes cars, motorbikes, buses, minivans, trucks and other types of transport which use fuel. First of all, they exhaust toxic gases into the air. Secondly, they are considered to be the main noise offenders in the city. This problem progresses as the number of cars increases from year to year. As a result the level of harmful substances in the air also increases. Another problem which is worth mentioning is the tree cutting. Trees are a source of oxygen and clean air. So, by doing this people simply violate the biological balance. All the above mentioned ecological problems are the result of man’s careless interaction with nature. In my opinion, environmental protection should become of a global concern and serious measures should be taken to create ecological security.
