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.
What would be the best title for the text?
选项
A、The Joy of DIY.
B、You Can Do It Too!
C、Welcome to Our DIY Course!
D、Ross and Hatfield: Believers in DIY
答案
B
解析
这道题主要考查学生对全文的整体理解和对主旨的准确把握能力。全文围绕DIY展开,并给出了约翰和吉姆两个成功的例子。但文章的主旨在最后一段,作者总结说,约翰和吉姆都是普通人,通过参加课程或参考书籍,任何人都可以成为DIY高手。所以比较四个选项,B更加恰当。
