When I was 16 years old，I made my first visit to the United States．It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad．Like most English children I also learned French at school．And I had often been to France，so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English．But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems．

How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport．I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Danny a call and tell her that I had arrived．A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me．

“Yes，”I said．“I want to give my friend a ring．”

“Well，that’s nice，”he said．“Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit young?”

“Who is talking about marriage?”I replied．“I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived．Can you tell me where there’s a phone box?”

“Oh!”he said，“there’s a phone downstairs．”

When at last we met，Danny explained the misunderstanding to me．

“Don’t worry，”she said to me，“I had so many difficulties at first．There are lots of words Which the Americans use differently in meaning from British．You will soon get used to all! How funny things they say．Most of the time British and American people understand each other!’’

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.

60. We can learn from the text that many newly 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

Thanksgiving Day is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It is the most traditional American holiday. The first Thanksgiving Day was held in Massachusetts in 1621. After a year of great hardship, the colonist(移民)wanted to give thanks to God for their first harvest. They invited their Indian thanks. But it wasn’t a regular national holiday until President Lincoln declared that the last Thursday in November would be there after Thanksgiving Day in 1863. It is a day of family reunion(团圆)and it is customary(风俗的)to invite friends to share the meal. In some large cities, there are important football games that are played on Thanksgiving Day.

For Americans, Thanksgiving Day is one of the few days of the year when the entire family gets together. Everyone is glad to see everyone else and there is a very busy exchange of greetings. The women soon disappear into the kitchen to help prepare the dinner. The men, meanwhile, settle down to watch a football game on television, or to discuss business or polities. If weather permits, some of the more athletic men go outside to play ball games with the children. Then everyone will sit down to dinner, in which traditional Thanksgiving foods such as stuffed turkey, sweet potatoes, chestnuts, and pu
