Your mom tells you to put on your hat and gloves. But as the cold winter season gets closer, it’s so cold that even mom’s advice does not work.

That means it’s time to put on your qiuku! This is a kind of “thermal underwear(保暖内衣)” or long underpants that keep people warm in the coldest months of the year.

In Western countries, qiuku is usually known as long johns, but they aren’t popular. Long johns in the US are usually two pieces, a long-sleeved(长袖的) shirt and long pants, worn under other clothing or sometimes even used as pajamas(睡衣).

Long johns first appeared in England during the 17th century. We call them long johns because the US boxer John L. Sullivan wore them while he boxed. But this is not a historical fact.

In the US, it gets quite cold and snowy in many places. And while parents often push kids to wear more clothes and long underwear, it’s very special when young people actually(实际上) put them on.

Part of the reason might be because it’s not very fashionable(时尚的) and another reason might be because people don’t spend much time outside during the cold months. So they just deal with the freezing(冰冻的) temperatures when they have to leave the warm building. But in their parents’ eyes, staying warm is more important than looking nice.

1. People wear qiuku to be __________.

A. fashionable B. popular C. friendly D. Warm

2. What is part of long johns in the US?

A. Socks B. T-shirts C. Long pants D. Coats

B. Long johns got its name from the boxer John L. Sullivan.

C. We can read about long johns and Sullivan in history books.

D. Long johns in Western countries are as popular as qiuku in China.

4. What does the underlined sentence mean?

A. Few young people wear long johns.

B. Many young people wear long johns.

C. Young people like special long johns.

D. Young people dislike special long johns.

5.The last paragraph tells us that ___________.

A. young people care more about staying warm

B. young people think long johns are not fashionable

C. in winter people need to stay outside for a long time
