Paying$645 for a pair of pants(长裤）created by an unknown fashion brand might seem ludicrous, but what if the pants would last forever?Will that reason make you look smart?That's the promise of adventure clothing brand Vollebak, which announces its new pants will last a century.
Vollebak cofounder Steve Tidball says that the company stands behind the 100-year guarantee because the new pants are made of a tough material and you can walk through fire in them. Technically, the 100 Year Pants are made of a three-layer(层）material. The outer layer resists water and is designed to avoid abrasions(磨损），the middle layer is fireproof and expands as an airbag at high temperatures, acting as a barrier between your legs and the flames, while the third layer doesn't burn, offering extra protection.
＂Most fire-resistant clothing is made from heavy and uncomfortable chemical materials, but this is the world's first special material that can be comfortably worn every day, "Vollebak cofounder Nick Tidball said. "It was originally designed to help soldiers handle extreme situations, but without having to dress like firefighters. "
Still, 100 years sounds like a long time for a pair of pants, especially if you wear them frequently. So how do you know they'll last that long? Vollebak put them through the Martindale abrasion resistance test, where a mechanical thumb(机械拇指）rubs against the pants until the fibers start to break. A regular clothing material can survive 25, 000 revolutions, but the special material these pants are made of passed 100, 000 cycles of wear. Even then, it was checked to see if any of the fibers had broken. Vollebak says they hadn't.
The 100 Year Pants are made suitable for all kinds of activities, from mountain climbing to yoga, and are stylish enough. So if you're looking to buy the last pair of pants you'll ever need, these seem like a pretty good choice. $645 is a lot, but if you think about it, it's just$6. 45 per year.

D.Ridiculous.
2.What makes Vollebak's pants different from most fire-resistant clothing?

C.That they are extremely tough and thick.
D.That they are effective in resisting water.
3.How does the text prove Vollebak's pants are abrasion-resistant?
A.By referring to the results of a certain test.
B.By mentioning wearers positive comments.
C.By reporting the whole process of production.
D.By asking technicians to wear them frequently.
4.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To recommend the special pants to consumers.

D.To comment on a famous company's latest products.
It has become a habit for many of us. When you're tired of online shopping, you head to the bathroom to do your best makeup for the perfect selfie(自拍)for Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat or all of the above. When you're ready, you hold up your phone and, in an instant, snap(拍照)。
But have you ever wondered what's behind your burning desire to self-document?Most people would say that this is a way to express themselves and perhaps make them become more confident of themselves. But the moment you upload that picture, it's no longer yours to judge. Instead, you pass on that power to the online world.
While you may think that your growing collection of selfies attracts people, quite the opposite may be true. A recent study was conducted on a total of 238 people in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. 77%of the people surveyed admitted to regularly taking selfies. Interestingly, 82% of people said that they would rather see fewer selfies on social media. In other words, we like taking selfies but seriously dislike looking at other people's selfies online.
This research finds that there is a big difference between how we see our own selfies and how we judge other people's pictures. It suggests that we are comfortable with the selfies we post since we believe they are obviously not serious or vain, but we think everyone else is an egoist(自我主义者)for doing the very same thing. After all, we are able to separate our own selfies from the sea of them online and naturally think that ours are the only authentic ones.
So, the next time you reach for your phone and take a selfie picture, consider this: The people around you may not need another carefully planned snap of your face. Instead, you might be better off, giving it a break and calling off the selfie photo today. While you're at it, make sure you never post these pictures on social media either.

A.They are not serious but vain in nature.
