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] When the writer says that Jim has a full-time job at home, he means Jim______.
选项
A、makes shoes in his home
B、does his extra work at night
C、does his own car and home repairs
D、keeps house and looks after his children
答案
D
解析
has a full-time job at home在家有一份全职工作,乍一看让人匪夷所思。但通过上下文,前面的一句提到吉姆的妻子去世了,他自己带着三个孩子生活。这样我们便不难理解,have a full-time job at home是说吉姆要料理家务并照管孩子。
