Father’s Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother’s Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And businesses found it was a good way to get people to buy a present for their father from their shops.

By the way, very few countries have a Father’s Day, though some have a Children’s Day, or aspecialday for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother’s Day, so maybe Father’s Day will also become popular before too long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father’s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do — buy, buy, buy, buy, buy a Father’s Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy, buy, buy, and buy a Father’s Day present — not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy, buy, buy, and buy a Father’s Day present for their grandfathers.

The important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.

Look at your classmates around you. You all wear the same uniform and similar shoes, even similar haircut. Do you want to be different from them? A fashionable and useful backpack can be a great idea!

Backpacks are lightweight and easy to carry on then go. They are great tools for students. They help you to stay organized and tidy. You can keep school things, books and personal items like cell phones and keys neatly(整潔地). With a special and cool backpack, you can also stand out among your classmates.

Tourists also love backpacks. With convenient backpacks, backpackers can move freely from one place to another. Meanwhile, they can also free their hands to do other things like taking photos.

But in the very beginning backpacks were not what we see today.

It is thought that US hiker Dick Kelty invented the first modern backpack in 1951. He used nylon(尼龍) to make backpacks lightweight. Then he added shoulder straps(帶子) and waist straps to transfer much of the weight to the hips(臀部).

Today, backpacks come in different styles.

Rolling backpacks have wheels on the bottom. Users can pull them along the ground if they are too heavy to carry on their shoulders.

And with more people bringing notebook computers to school and work, backpacks also offer space for lightweight electronics. Most of them are in style and can be in good use.

A backpack has already become a symbol of fashion in some way. So, why not carry your fashion with your backpack?

1.What’s the writer’s idea for being different from other students?

A. To wear surprising school uniforms.

B. To get best grades.

C. To own a fashionable backpack.

D. To have a usual haircut.

2.Students can use a wonderful backpack to _________.

A. take photos B. lose weight

C. stand higher D. keep school things

3.Which of the following statement about the first backpack is NOT TRUE?

A. It was invented in the 20th century.

B. The inventor of it is an English hiker.

C. It was made of cotton and nylon.

D. It had shoulder straps and waist straps.

4.How many new styles of backpacks are mentioned in this passage?

A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

5.Where can we read this passage possibly?

A. A fashion magazine. B. A supermarket poster.

C. A school notice-board. D. A tour guidebook.
