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.” 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.”
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so 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.

     When I was young and going to school, a joke was played on me. My friend said, "What is black and
white and red all over?" Of course I said, "I do not know." My friend said, "The newspaper." And he started
to laugh. Those were the days before I read the newspaper. That was before I knew what was ahead and
how important the newspaper would become in my life.
     The first American newspaper was published in Boston in 1690. The paper had only one issue (期刊).
The next newspaper was the Boston Newsletter, printed in 1704. During the following years several other
papers were printed in different parts of America. Today there are thousands of newspapers throughout the
world that report world, national and local news in many different languages. There are morning and evening
papers, all of which have material for every reader. You automatically (自动的) think of the newspaper if you
want to know what is happening in the community (社会).
     But what is a newspaper? A newspaper is a piece of printed paper that presents the current news in the
local community as well as news of national and world events. The world events and important local events
are usually reported on the front page. As you go through the paper, you find sports news, comics, news on
deaths, and news of sqcial events. Often the important speech of a public officer is printed in the paper. You

You can use your Business Telecard International at any card phone in the UK. Here is some information about making international phone calls.

You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call major cities. When you cannot make direct dialing calls, you can ask the international operator to help you. This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular person and no one else; in this case you should ask for a “person-to-person” call. Even more expensive is a reverse charge call where the person who receives the call pays.

If the international line is busy, you can reserve a call; explain the number youwant and the operator will call you back when the line is free.

You can save money by calling outside office hours, e.g. early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays.

Remember that the time may be different in the country you are calling. International time is based on GMT （Greenwich Mean Time）; London is on GMT and Moscow, for example, is 3 hours ahead.

There is one problem: change to DST （Daylight Saving Time） for the Summer. In the UK, clocks are put forward one hour in Spring and put back in Autumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the Summer.

You can use your Business Telecard International for domestic calls as well, but there will be an additional charge over the standard rate.

2．According to the passage, what can you do if the international line is busy?

　 A．book a call.　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B．make a “person-to-person” call.

3．When is it cheaper to make an international call?

　 A．10 A．m.　 　　　　　　　　 B．4 p. m.
