阅读理解。     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 trying to make a home at a time when the cost of living
is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week lesson 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 surprised and worried about
it. Now I"ve finished a car repair class, 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-yourself", you can go
to DIY classes. And for those who don"t have time to take a lesson, there are books that tell you how
you can do things yourself.1. 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. have DIY lessons with their friends
D. never go to a store to buy things
2. John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to _____.
A. open a DIY shop
B. make or repair things
C. save time and money
D. improve their lives
3. When the writer says that Jim has a full-time job at home, he means Jim _____.
A. makes shoes in his home
B. does another job at night
C. does his own car and home repairs
D. keeps house and looks after his children
4. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The Fun of DIY
B. You Can Do it Too!
C. Welcome to Our DIY Class!
D. John and Jim: Believers in DIY

     Do You Go To Sleep In Class?
     The "Acronym", our student newspaper, reports that most students go to sleep at 1: 30 a. m. Even if
 that"s an exaggeration (夸张), it"s too close to the truth. Scientists say teenagers should sleep nine hours
 each night. But that"s hard to do.
     Some even "pull all-nighters". These are lazy students who have homework due (到期) the next day
  that they haven"t done. In the morning they don"t look healthy and you can tell who has been doing it.
     One of my classmates did a survey (调查) on the problem. She found that most kids pull all-nighters to
  finish homework, but some do it for other reasons, such as playing computer games!
     Maybe our lack of sleep is because of laziness-I think I"m a lazy student-or maybe it"s because we have
  too much to do in American high schools.
     I usually go to bed around midnight. If I stayed up past 1: 30 a. m, I wouldn"t get any work done. I"d be
  falling asleep at my computer. My classes begin at 7:30 a.m. I"m partly awake in my first class. By the
  second, I"m slightly tired and sleepy. By my third class, I"m sleepy. By midday I"m finally wide-awake.
 But by 3: 00 p. m., I"m slowing down again.
     Most American high schools seem to have such a problem.
     High school classes start at 7: 30 a. m., so students have to wake up one and a half hours before that to
  get ready and catch the bus. It"s believed that lack of sleep can damage both grades and health.
     Some schools are paying attention. Classes in those schools start at 8:30 a. m.
1. What"s the problem talked about in the passage?
    A. Many kids have too much homework to do.
    B. Many teenagers don"t have enough sleep.
    C. Many children are crazy about playing computer games.
    D. Many kids are too lazy to finish their homework on time.
2. The underlined expression "pull all-nighters" most probably means _____.
    A. 开夜车
    B. 上夜班
    C. 睡懒觉
    D. 补作业
3. Which of the following is NOT a reason mentioned in the passage?
    A. Laziness.  
    B. Homework.
    C. Housework.  
    D. Computer games.
4. What"s the idea suggested at the end of the passage?
    A. Later start of classes.  
    B. Less homework.
    C. Going to bed early.  
    D. Eating healthy food.

     Life in the 21st century will be different from life in the 20th century, because many changes will take
 place in the new century. But what will the changes be?
     The population is growing fast. There will be more and more people in the world and most of them will
 live longer than before. Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in
 every home. And computer studies will be one of the most important subjects in schools.
     People will work fewer hours than they did in the 20th century, and they will have more free time for
 sports, watching TV and traveling. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And more people will go to
  other countries for holidays.
     There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for buildings, new towns and houses.
 Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat
 it every day, instead, they eat more vegetables and fruit. Maybe people will be healthier.
     Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots (机器人).
 Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a new problem.
1. People may not have as much _____ as they did in the 20th century.
    A. fruit
    B. milk
    C. bread
