Uncle Sam is a tall,thin man.He’s an older man with white hair and a white beard.He often wears a tall hat,a bow tie,and the stars and stripes of the American flag.

During the War of 1812,the US government hired meat packers to provide meat to the army.One of these meat packers was a man named Samuel Wilson.Samuel was a friendly and fair man.Everyone liked him and called him Uncle Sam.

Sam Wilson stamped the boxes of meat for the army with a large US for United States.Some government inspectors came to look over Sam’s company.They asked a worker what the US on the boxes stood for.As a joke,the worker answered that these letters stood for the name of his boss,Uncle Sam.

The joke spread,and soldiers began saying that their food came from Uncle Sam.Before long,people called all things that came from the government”Uncle Sam’s”,”Uncle Sam”became a nickname for the US government.

Soon there were drawings and cartoons of Uncle Sam in newspapers.In these early pictures,Uncle Sam was a young man.He wore stars and stripes,but his hair was dark and he had not a beard.The beard was added when Abraham Lincoln was President.President Lincoln had a beard.

The most famous picture of Uncle Sam is on a poster from World War I.The government needed men to fight in the war.In the poster,a very serious Uncle Sam points his finger and says”I want you for the US Army.”

Mr.Jones woke early one morning,before the sun had risen.It was a beautiful morning,_21_ he went to the window and looked out.He was _22_ to see a neatly-dressed and mid-aged professor,who _23_ in the university just up the road from Mr.Jones‘house,coming the direction of the town.He had grey hair thick glasses,and was _24 an umbrella,a morning newspaper and a bag.Mr.Jones thought that he must have _25_ by the night train _26_ taking a taxi.

Mr.Jones had a big tree in his garden,and the children had tied a long _27_ to one of the branches,so that they could swing on it.

Mr.Jones saw the professor _28_ when he saw the rope and looked carefully up and down the roaD.When he saw that there was _29_ in sight,he stepped into the garden（there was no fence）,put his umbrella,newspaper,bag and hat nearly on the grass and _30_ the rope.He pulled it _31_ to see whether it was strong enough to take his weight,then ran as fast as he could and swung into the _32_ on the end of the rope,his grey hair blowing all around _33_._34_ he swung,sometimes taking a few more _35_ steps on the grass when the rope began to swing too slowly for him.

At last the professor stopped,straightened his tie,combed his hair carefully,put on his hat,picked up his umbrella,newspaper and bag,and continued on his way to the university,looking as quiet and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be.
