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 iris 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. 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.

We can learn from the text that many newly married people ______.

A．find it hard to pay for what they need

B．have to learn to make their own furniture

C．take DIY course run by the government

D．seldom go to a department store to buy things

Dear Jose,

You have asked me for suggestions on how to get along in the United States. It is difficult to give advice, but I have found the following "do's" and "don'ts" helpful.

As a rule, it isn't easy to find anyone to【21】in a big city. However, here are some suggestions.【22】, get or borrow【23】! Walk him several times a day! Americans love dogs and usually stop【24】to anyone with a dog.【25】, try to eat in a cafeteria. People generally【26】the same tables and will sometimes talk to you【27】they see that you are a【28】. Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry! It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people become kind there. They often pass the time talking to the other customers.【29】ask for information from a woman, if you are a man, and from a man, if you are a woman! It seems to get【30】results for a reason I can't understand. Learn the【31】, "Please," "Thank you, "and "You're welcome" before you come and use them all the time! They usually work like magic.

There are some things you【32】. Don't tell the truth when people ask "How are you？" They only【33】the answer to be "Fine." Never ask people their【34】—especially woman! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are【35】. Tell them they are losing weight. Everyone here wants to be thin. Don't be late for appointment! When someone says six o'clock, be sure to be there by six. Americans respect time and expect everyone to be "on time".

Above all, don't worry! Just follow my advice and bring a lot of money and you will get along. I hope I have been of some help to you.

Cordially yours,

John
