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. "(76)
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 two-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 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. In order to save money, most families in the country are doing everything they can so that 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. [br] We can learn from the text that many newly married people______.
选项
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
D、seldom go to a department store to buy things
答案
A
解析
文章第二段开头便说罗斯夫妇因买不起家具而苦恼,后面说像很多新婚夫妇一样,他们要为很高的生活开支不断奋斗。B和C属于罗斯家的情况,不能说所有新婚夫妇面临这样的困难。D项文中没有提到。
