people chose not to watch TV for 鈥淭V Turnoff Week鈥? TV Turnoff Week started

in 1995 and is more popular every year. Many people discover that you can have a

good time with the TV off. If that sounds crazy to you, just have a look at some

numbers: 锟紻An American teenager spends 900 hours every year at school; the

same teenager spends 1,023 hours every year watching TV. That鈥檚 2 hours 49

minutes every d ay. 锟紻An average锛堝钩鍧囷級British person (not just

teenagers) watches 3 hours 35 minutes every day. 锟紻In the US, most TV has

adverts. American children see 20,000 adverts every year. By age 65, an American

has seen two million ads! But some research from Britain says that may not be a

problem. The London Business School watched people carefully during TV adverts 精品试题资料

and they discovered that people don鈥檛 watch a lot of the ads. The researchers

discovered that the most common activity during the adverts was talking to other

people in the room. Many other people started reading or doing housework or

changed channels during adverts. They only really watched them about 25 per cent

of the time. 51锛嶥uring TV Turnoff Week, many people don鈥檛 __________. A.

C Last week I visited my friend Pete in the new home where he lives with his wife and

daughter. Pete used to spend his holidays travelling the world, visiting the Louvre in

Pairs or watching animals in Africa. Nowadays he prefers to spend his holidays and

weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of

other British people, he has discovered the joy of DIY (Do It Yourself), which means if

there are any things that need fixing around the house, he will try to do the job

himself. As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly

painted walls, I asked Pete where he got the idea from. He told me that his favourite

source of ideas was a DIY programme on TV. This got me thinki ng about the

popularity of DIY programmes in the UK. Nearly every channel has at least one home

or garden makeover show and there鈥檚 even a DIY satellite channel. I guess it is

not really surprising that DIY programmes are so popular. Two common sayings in

Britain 锟紺 鈥渁n Englishman鈥檚 home is his castle鈥?and 鈥渢here鈥檚 no

place like home鈥?锟紺 show how important our houses are to us. With the recent 精品试题资料

economic d ownturn, many people can鈥檛 afford to buy a bigger house so they are

looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money.

DIY is the perfect choice. But be careful! I read a report that said over 230,000 people

were hurt while doing home improvements in the UK in just one year, including

41,000 who fell off steps and 5,800 who were seriously hurt by tools. I won鈥檛 be

going down to the hardware锛堜簲閲戯級store. I鈥檇 rather watch DIY on TV with

a nice cup of tea! 54锛嶵he underlined phrase 鈥減ut together鈥?means

__________. A. painted B. cleaned C. built D. designed 55锛嶱eople in the UK

__________. A. care little about their homes B. take DIY as an enjoyable job C. like
