As prices and building costs keep rising, “the do-it-yourself”（DIY）trend（趋势） in the US continues to grow.
“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Kose, “and we didn’t have enough money to buy it.” So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs. John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling （努力）to make a home when the cost of living is very high.

“Can you count （数数）,John?” she asks him.
“Yes. One, two, three, four…” John says.
“That’s fine. Now I put the long hand （钟表的长指针）on twelve and the short hand on one.” That’s one o’clock. If I put the short hand on two, what is the time?”
“Two o’clock.”
“Good. And on three?”
