55.When the writer says that Jim has a full-time job at home, he means Jim . A.makes shoes at his home B.does extra work at night C.does his own car and home repairs D.keeps house and looks after his children E Most of my husband's friends call him "lucky. Why? Not because I'm a perfect wife, or look like a model, or treat him like a king-but because I love sports. Am I the only woman who thoroughly enjoys sports? When I talk to my girlfriends about how the Minnesota Twins won their game the night before, most of them raise their eyebrows and look at me with blank stares. When I talk about how excited I am that football training is soon to begin, they raise their eyebrows even further. Why is that? The funny thing is that I'm much fonder of sports than my husband. Oh, he tries to know what's going on in the "sports world", but eventually he has to ask me, "What's the score?" or "Who are we playing with?" or "Who's in the first place?" Yes, I watch or listen to particularly every single Twins game throughout the entire season. My husband watches too, but I'm the one doing the cheering, the roaring, the jumping up and down and clapping. Is it strange that every morning I read the sports section in the newspaper to read the latest articles on the Twins? Or that I know the name of every single player on the team? Come on, there's got to be other women like me who enjoy sports ?maybe even more than their husbands! To me, Sunday is the best day of the week. Why? Because it's the day we go to church, come home from church and watch football. What could be better than that? 查看更多

 

题目列表(包括答案和解析)

As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself” (DIY) trend 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 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-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.
