As prices and building costs keep rising, the "do-it-yourself" (DIY) trend (趋势) in the U. S. continues to grow.

"We needed furniture (家具) for our living room," says John Ross, "and we just didn't have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs." John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $ 280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.

Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $ 420. "I was deeply worried about it. Now I've finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself”.

John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a "do-it-yourselfer", you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don't have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.

56. We can learn from the text that many newly married people___________.

A. find it hard to pay for what they need

B. have to learn to make their own furniture

C. take DIY courses run by the government

D. seldom go to a department store to buy things 

57. John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to ___________.

A. run a DIY shop           B. make or repair things

C. save time and money      D. improve the quality of life

58. When the writer says that Jim has a full-time job at home, he means Jim _________.

A. makes shoes in his home        B. does his extra work at right

C. does his own car and home repairs  D. keeps house (料理家务) and looks after his children

An Indian boy ran fast from a village in Mexico . In his hand , he carried some fish. Only a few minutes before, the fish had been caught in the river. Another boy was waiting to take over these fish and to run on, since the first boy was tired. And so from one quick runner to another , fresh fish were rushed from the river to the dinner table of the King.

Speed is important in transporting fish and much other fresh food. Some fresh food like fish must reach the market and the dinner table as quickly as possible. But, now planes, trucks and ships have taken the place of those running boys.

Planes are the fastest way to transport food. They are useful in carrying food to people that” could not be reached in other ways “ . For example, there was an earthquake and the people could not be reached by trains and trucks. The people would have had nothing to eat if no planes had been used to transport food to them. But there is a disadvantage in using planes; air transport is usually the most expensive way of carrying food.. And so within a country food is usually transported by trucks and trains, while from country to country food is usually transported by ships.

59. Some fresh food must be transported to the market_______

A.      with great speed   B. slowly and carefully   C. without damage   D. none of the above.

Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the USA. Those tested included(包含) of different ages, from 12 to 83 . During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The result show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than those have no breakfast. This fact appears to be true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs , bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Contrary to what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce (减少)other meals.

When to Shake Hands

It’s necessary to shake hands when you first meet someone . Usually friends shake hands when they meet after not having seen each other for a long time. If anyone offers to shake hands with you , you will of course shake hands --- it would be very bad manners to refuse . When two men and two women meet , it’s usual for the older to offer his or her hand first . When a man and a woman meet, it’s the woman who often first offers her hand.
