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 trying 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.‖

This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13 to 19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other counties to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

Here is a two-way student exchange(交换) in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.

Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities. Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(个人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car. ―Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time.In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it .‖

At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea.“I suppose I should criticize(批评) American schools‖, he says. ―It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens(公民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two.‖

31. This year _______ teenagers will take part in the exchange program between America and other counties. A. twenty-three hundred B. thirteen hundred C. over three thousand D. less than two thousand 32. The whole exchange program is mainly to _______.

A. help teenagers in other counties know the real America B. send students in America to travel in German C. let students learn something about other counties D. have teenagers learn new languages 33. Fred and Mike agreed that_____.

A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings B. there are a lot of after-school activities C. students usually take fourteen subjects in all D. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car 35. After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought______.

You probably know that Franklin was a stout old fellow with a bald head who flew a kite with a key fastened to it and signed the Declaration of Independence. All that is true, but there is a lot more to know about this man who had so many useful ideas and served his country in so many different ways.

Franklin was always trying to answer the questions: What makes things act the way they do? At that time learned men were puzzled about electricity. They wondered whether it was in some way like the lightning in a thunderstorm. It might be, but how could you prove it – by coaxing some electricity down his kite string. That act made him famous in America and Europe. But, of course, Franklin did not stop here. He found a way to make the knowledge useful: he invented the lightning rod.
