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 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-yourself”, 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

       B. have to learn to make their own furniture.

       C. take DIY courses run by the government.

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

       C. does his own car and home repairs             D. keeps house and looks after his children

39. Jim Hatfield decided to become a “do-it-yourself” when ____

Senior citizens are permitted to travel cheaply on a bus if they have a special card. Women may get cards when they are sixty.

Mrs. Matthews lives in the country but she went into town once a week to buy food and other things for the house, and she usually went by bus. She always had to pay the full price for her ride.

Then she reached the age of sixty and got her senior citizen’s card, but when she used it for the first time on the bus, it made her feel very old.

The bus driver had often seen her traveling on the bus before, and he notices that she was feeling unhappy, so after she had paid her money, he winked at her and whispered, “Don’t forget to give your mother’s card back to her when you see her again.”

Mrs. Matthews was very happy when she heard this.

Not many years ago, some American farmers began to complain about hawks(鹰). The hawks were killing chickens. The farmers did not know what to do. They went to the government officials and asked for help.

The officials said, “ We’ll pay you for each hawk you kill.” The farmers began to kill the hawks. Many hawks were killed, but the farmers now had another problem. The field mice were growing in number and they were eating up the farmers’ corn. Hawks eat not only chickens but also field mice. They eat more field mice than chickens. But if the farmers had known that, they would not have upset(打乱) the balance of nature. In one part of the USA, there are deer which eat a kind of wild rose. The deer are eaten by mountain lions. The number of deer, mountain lions, and wild rose does not change much if people stay away from them. If there are too many deer, mountain lions will increase rapidly in number and kill many deer. If there are too many mountain lions, there will be fewer deer and there will be more roses.

It is always necessary for us to keep the balance of nature. The government once killed almost all the mountain lions to protect the deer. Soon there were so many deer that they ate up all the wild roses. Then they began to eat the green leaves of young trees which were important to the farmers.

So the farmers protected their trees from the deer. The deer had nothing to eat, and many of them died.

The government learned a valuable lesson from nature.

44. What had happened after the hawks were killed?

   A. People wouldn’t worry about their chickens.

   B. The number of the field mice became too large.

   C. The number of the field mice became small.

   D. The field mice were eating up the farmers’ corn.

45. Why did American people have to protect their trees?

   A. Because the mountain lions destroyed the trees.

   B. Because there were so many deer that they began to eat the green leaves.

   C. Because they wanted the trees to grow well.

   D. Because the trees are more important than the deer.

46. What can we learn from the article?

   A. We must keep the balance of nature.

   B. We must not kill any animals.

   C. we must feed the hawks with our corn to keep the balance of nature.

   D. Both A and B.

D

    In China, some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage listeners to take part in the talk shows.

   That is a good idea. Yes, the fact is that some people do nothing but break the whole programme.

   Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance(无知). Then the host has to answer and explain ---how silly it is! It wastes a lot of time.

   It seems that some people phone the hotlines for fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They do not care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested in the topic or how silly they appear to be.

It is necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmes. In my opinion, if a caller does not know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.

47. The underlined sentence “some people do nothing but break the whole programme” may tell us that _____

   A. radio stations use hotlines in a wrong way

   B. there are problems to solve in the use of hotlines by some radio broadcasting stations

   C. the use of hotlines by some radio broadcasting stations is a good idea

   D. some people have unclear thoughts

48. The underlined word“operator” in the last paragraph refers to_____

       A. 话务员        B. 听众        C. 医生         D. 主持人

E

After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the day. The rest that you get while sleeping makes it possible for your body to prepare itself for the next day.

There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your body relaxes little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts(变换) back and forth from one level to the other.

Although your mind slows down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.

If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend(建议) breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.

49. During REM, ______

       A. you move restless                                          B. you start dreaming

       C. your mind stops working                                          D. your eyeballs move quickly

50. A good title for this text might be_________

   A. Dreams                      B. Sleep                C. Good Health      D. Work and Rest
