| 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. | |||

| 阅读理解。 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. | |||
