【题目】七、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。

DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes show people how to DIY.

English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK –“An Englishman’s home is his castle”. Lots of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their houses, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experiences with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn at present, many people can not afford to buy a bigger house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.

DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to put together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions (意愿), many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical (电子的) should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.

Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY.

材料二:妇产医院里就缺婴儿

德国首都柏林一家妇产医院拥有先进的设备、技术精湛的医护人员及超过1000张的病床。然而,每天只有几个婴儿在这里出生。

据德国统计局统计,自1975年以来出生率基本低于死亡率。据推测,到2050年,人口得从现在的8200万下降到7080万,一半以上的人口将超过50岁,三分之一的人口将超过60岁,在经济全球化背景下,工作压力使许多德国年轻人不愿建立家庭,很多已婚夫妇也不想要孩子。

德国是最早创建养老保险体制的国家。按照一般规律,最合理和有效的比例应该是每3个在职员工养活一个退休人员。可再过20年,德国每100个在职员工就须养活78个退休者。
