Five years ago, Steven Gerrard fulfilled a boyhood dream when he was made captain of Liverpool, the football club he had supported all his life. As one of the best teams in the English Premier League, the captain’s armband weighed heavy on a player who had only turned 23.
But through a combination of individual brilliance on the pitch (球场) and a growing awareness of what being a skipper (队长) is all about, Gerrard has gone on to make the captain’s role his own.
He performed a rescue act for Liverpool by twice scoring as they came from 2?0 down to draw 2-2 against Hull City on December 13th. His efforts steered (带领) the team to the top of the Premier League.“It’s easy for me to say we’re a great team and the squad’s great,”said Gerrard.“The hardest thing is to actually go out there and prove it on the pitch. I call the Premier League the bread and butter and I’m desperate for the title.”
Liverpool enjoyed some real success during the five years when Gerrard has been captain of the club，they’ve been to two Champions League finals and an FA Cup final, winning two out of three. But Gerrard believes he has learned more from being a captain“when things haven’t gone too well”.
“You learn more from bad experiences really. Bad defeats, going out of competitions or failing short in the league, as captain, I feel more responsible, particularly when we get beaten,”he said.“I remember all those experiences and learn from all of that.”
Gerrard grew up watching Liverpool. He joined the club’s youth academy as a school boy. He then had tryouts with various clubs at 14, including Manchester United, which he claimed in his autobiography (自传) was“to pressure Liverpool into giving me a contract.”He signed with the club in 1997.

For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans．1Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today．Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world．
Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829．2He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847．Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business．This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention．After the gold rush of 1949, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes．
Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals．Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners．At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth．3When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners．These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more．
In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets（铆钉）．This made the pants last a long time．Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent．4．
