第6题
M: I first became interested in do-it-yourself several years ago. You see, my son Paul is disabled. He's in a wheelchair and I just had to make alterations to the house.
W: Have you had any experience of this kind of work？
M: No. I got a few books from the library but they didn't help very much. Then I decided to go to evening classes so that I could learn basic carpentry and electrics.
W: What sort of changes did you make to the house？
M: First of all, practical things to help Paul. Just imagine the problems a disabled person would have in your house. We need a large house with wide corridors so that Paul could get from one room to another. We didn't have much money and we had to buy this one. It's over ninety years old and it was in a very bad state of repair.
W: Where did you begin？
M: The electrics. I completely rewired the house so that Paul could reach all the switches.
W: What else did you do？
M: By the time I'd altered everything for Paul, do-it-yourself had become a hobby. I really enjoyed doing things with my hands.
W: What are you working on now？
M: I've just finished the kitchen. Now I'm building an extension so that Paul will have a large room on the ground floor where he can work.
W: There's a ＄10,000 prize for the Do-it-yourself competition. How are you going to spend it？
M: I'm hoping to start my own business so that I can convert ordinary houses for disabled people. I think I've become an expert on the subject.

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-yourself", 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.
We can learn from the text that many married people ______.
A．find it hard to pay for what they need
B．have to learn to make their own furniture
C．take DIY courses run by the government
D．seldom go to a department store to buy things
