None of the young men were quite good enough for Miss Emily and such. So when she got to be thirty and was still single, we were not pleased exactly, but felt sorry that even with disorder of the mind in the family she wouldn't have turned down all of her chances if they had really materialized. When her father died, it got about that the house was all that was left to her; and in a way, people were glad. At last they could pity Miss Emily.

JEANS have long been a necessity in closets across the US. After all, not many pieces of clothing can last long enough to be worn daily, yet can also be worn when dressing up or down. However, Americans 'love of jeans is beginning to wear thin.
Sales of the iconic blue pants have fallen 6 percent during the past year after decades of almost steady growth, while sales of yoga tights have climbed 7 percent, according to the NPD Group, a US market research company.
Women are replacing their jeans and ballet flat shoes with yoga tights and sneakers for just about any weekend activity. And younger people are also moving away from jeans. US financial services firm Piper Jaffray found that for the first time ever, tight pants were ranked the most popular trend among female teenagers this spring.
"The change is partly due to a lack of new designs since brightly colored skinny jeans were a hit a couple years back," The Associated Press noted. "It also shows changing views about what's appropriate clothing for work, school, and other places that used to need more formal clothing."
"Yoga pants have replaced jeans in my wardrobe" Anita Ramaswamy, a senior high school student in Arizona, told AP. “They are more comfortable.”
Levi Strauss, the company that invented the first pair of blue jeans 142 years ago, is among the jean makers that agree their business has been hurt by the "athleisure trend". That's made it create new versions of classic jeans that are more stretchy(有弹性的) and almost as comfortable as sweatpants. "If casual clothing is what everyone is looking for, we will get creative," James Curleigh, president of Levi Strauss, told The Huffington Post.
12、What's the text mainly about?
A. Americans no longer love to wear thick jeans.
B. Yoga pants have replaced jeans in many American women's lives.
C. Yoga pants are more suitable for woman to wear when they go to work.
D. Jean makers should be more creative to produce more casual clothes.
13、Why do more and more Americans prefer yoga tights?
A. Because yoga tights are suitable for different situations.
B. Because jeans are so tight that they feel uncomfortable.
C.Because they feel yoga tights more suitable for weekend activities.
D.Because they have worn jeans for a couple of years and are tired of wearing jeans.
14、Which of the following expressions is wrong according to the text?
A. Americans have become less interested in jeans.
B. Women prefer yoga tights and sneakers to jeans for weekend activities.
C.The first pair of blue jeans were made by Levi Strauss, an American company.
D. President of Levi Strauss said they would start to make yoga tights instead of jeans.
15、What can we infer from the text?
A. The sales of yoga tights has covered 7 percent of the whole market in the past year.
B.Yoga tights were ranked the most popular trend among females this spring.
C.Brightly colored skinny jeans were very popular a couple of years ago.
D. The company, Levi Strauss, has decided to return to classic versions to cater to the trend.
