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 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 (课程) 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 shoemaking
factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. "I was deeply upset 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.

A. find it hard to pay for what they need

Experts say that students usually need ten hours’ sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late, and they will think their children work very hard. But not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger with his eyes still closed, begging for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students ‘early birds’ in China, he has to get up before six every morning.
A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students ‘stay up late’. Some watch TV or play computer games late into the night.
Experts have even said the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.
( ) 51. Experts say that students usually need ___________ hours of sleep at night.
A. 10 B. 8 C. 9 D.7
( ) 52. The 10-year-old boy begged for one more minute to sleep because ________.
A. he didn’t have enough sleep
B. It wasn’t time for him to get up
C. he didn’t want to go to school
D. he wanted his mother to wake him up
( ) 53. In this passage ‘ early birds’ means persons who ___.
A. get up early B. get up late
C. sleep less D. don’t want to sleep
( ) 54. From the passage we know if students don’t get enough sleep, they may _________.
A. become too weak to sleep B. not work well in class
C. go to bed early D. be weak in English
( ) 55 . According to the passage, which of the following is right?
A. If you want to study better, you must work hard at night.
B. Sleeping less means working hard.
C. Some clever students are able to work well in class because they have good study habits.
D. Students don’t have enough sleep only because they have lots of homework to do.
C
When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of “Good luck!” from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?
In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.
Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star”? If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn’t happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you have been very lucky, and so if you make a wish, it will come true.
Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit’s foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, “Depend on the rabbit’s foot if you will, but remember it didn’t work for the rabbit!”
People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bring them a lucky month in the following year—they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole of good luck!
( ) 56. ______ is mentioned in the oldest good luck tradition.
A. A shooting star
B. A falling leaf
C. A cheerful wish from friends
D. A rabbit’s foot
( ) 57. From Paragraph 3, we know that ______.
A. shooting stars can often be seen
B. people can see a shooting star on a rainy night
C. your wish may come true if you see a shooting star
D. people believe that it’s unlucky to see a shooting star
( ) 58. British people try to catch 12 falling leaves because ______.
A. the leaves fall in autumn
B. there are so many leaves to catch
C. they want to have a whole year of good luck
D. the leaves can bring them a lucky month
( ) 59. In Paragraph 5, the underlined word “them” refers to(指)___.
A. trees B. people C. leaves D. years
( ) 60. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. how to wish upon a star
