《Unit 4 Do it yourself》Read the article about DIY and answer some questions.4.Miss Wang is crazy about DIY. Can you guess what kind of DIY work Miss Wang loves doing? DIYAs prices and building costs keep rising, the "do-it-yourself" (DIY) trend in the USA continues togrow."We needed furniture for our living room," says John Ross, "and we just didn't have enough money tobuy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs." John got married six months ago, andlike many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of livingis very high. The Rosses took a two-week course for $ 280 at a night school. Now they build all theirfurniture 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 shoemaking factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. "1 was deeply upset about it.Now I've finished a car repair course, and 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 tosave 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 andvideos that tell you how you can do things yourself.Questions:1.What does DIY stand for? Is it popular in China now? What kind of DIY work do people usually do?2.How can we become a "do-it-yourselfer"?3.Did you do any DIY work before? Can you say something about your DIY work?(What was it? How did you do that? What tools did you use? Did you have any problems while doingit? How did you feel afer doing that? If possible, you can show the whole class your DIY work.)。

I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watchedthem a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband's patience for putting up with her continuous talk. Distracted by their noise, I moved on.I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant burst of words, I moved away quickly.I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife's jacket."He's a brave man. "The clerk at the counter said, "Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery he made a promise that his life wouldn't change. So ,as before, he and his wife come in whenever there's a new art show.""But what dose he get out of the art?" I asked, "He can't see.""Can't see? You're wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do." The clerk said, "His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head."I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.1.The young couple were at an art museum ________.A. to show their loveB. to appreciate artC. to discuss paintingsD. to describe paintings2.
