Akshay’s moment came in round six. His word was “alopecoid”, meaning “like a fox”. He 48 the word, but there was a problem. In his head, he saw two 49 spellings and he couldn’t decide which was right.

19. In every significant relationship, there comes a time when you have to ask the tough questions: what’s the deal with the mysterious fifth pocket on our favorite jeans?
To find out, we called in the experts: Korie Lovette and John Cunningham ,two merchandise mangers for Wrangler jeans. “The fifth pocket was introduced in the 1800s as a protective sleeve for cowboys’ pocket watches,” Lovette told TODAY Style. “Although the pocket is rarely used for watches today, standard jeans are still being produced in a way that can accommodate
a size 16 pocket watch.”
We haven’t seen a pocket watch since the last time we watched “Castaway” , but Cunningham insists that the pocket has plenty of modern uses. “Today, men use them for pocket knives or loose change, while women might use it to hold lipstick,” he said. “Over the past couple years, it has become an increasingly popular spot to store technology devices such as cell phones or iPods.”
And then, of course, there is the issue of aesthetic(美感). “A classic pair of jeans would look incomplete without the fifth pocket,” Cunningham explained. “It’s a tradition; an authentic construction of the jean. It was product innovation before that was a famous item. We keep the fifth pocket for the typical completeness of our jeans.”
That said, there are times when it makes sense to break with tradition for a more pleasing fit. “When Wrangler determines whether to include the fifth pocket or not, we look at the overall aesthetic of the figure,” said Lovette. “For women’s skinny jeans or leggings, we usually don’t include a fifth picket since the consumer will most likely be wearing a blouse that will cover the pocket.”
9. The original use of the fifth pocket is to ___________.
A. hold pocket knives
B. carry cowboys’ money
C. make the jeans more beautiful
D. protect cowboys’ pocket watches
10. What can we infer from the text?
A. Women usually like the fifth pocket on their jeans
B. Wrangler has some kinds of jeans without the fifth pocket
C. The fifth pocket was designed mainly for storing cell phones
D. The question about the fifth pocket is asked often between phones
11. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Is the extra pocket good or bad?
B. Is the fifth pocket to be changed?
C. The reasons for having that extra pocket
D. The styles of the fifth pocket
参考答案：
9. D 10. B 11. C
这篇文章主要讲了牛仔裤上第五个口袋的来源以及它存在的现代意义。

9. 细节理解题。

由“The fifth pocket was introduced in the 1800s as a protective sleeve for cowboys’ pocket watches,” Lovette told TODAY Style.可以看出第五个口袋的最初用途是为了
保护牛仔的怀表，故选D。

10. 推理判断题。

由“When Wrangler determines whether to include the fifth pocket or not, we look at the overall aesthetic of the figure,” said Lovette. “For women’s skinny jeans or leggings, we usually don’t include a fifth picket since the consumer will most likely be wearing a blouse that will cover the pocket.”推断出Wrangler有一些没有第五个口袋的牛仔裤，故选B。

11. 主旨大意题。

这篇文章主要讲了牛仔裤上第五个口袋的来源以及它存在的现代意义，故选C。
