As prices and building costs keep rising, "Do It Yourself (DIY)" is getting more and
more popular in the USA.
"We needed furniture for our living room," says John Rose, "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 (结婚) six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are trying to
make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Roses 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 much work at home as well as a job

John and Jim are not unusual people. In order to save money, most families in the country are
doing everything they can so that they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become

Cormorant (鸬鹚) fishing is a traditional Chinese skill, probably more than a thousand
years old.
Cormorants are large, black birds, which are good at catching fish. They can dive down 25
metres, and stay under water for up to two minutes.
A fisherman usually goes on a fishing trip on a bamboo boat with his birds. When he
reaches the right place, he stops. A piece of grass is tied around the neck of each bird, so that
the fish won't go down into its stomach. He pushes the birds into the water, and then bangs the
water heavily with his bamboo pole (竹竿). The fish are frightened by this. The cormorants
8BM2英语（试卷） 第 6 页 共 10 页swim very quickly to catch the fish.
Finally, the birds come up one after another to the fisherman. The fisherman takes the
fish out of the birds' mouths and then throws them into a big basket. Later some of the fish are
sold, and the rest are divided between his family and the cormorants. At night, a light is hung
from the front of the boat. This enables the fisherman to see better, and also attracts the fish.

We all know the dangers of fires. It's good and necessary for a family to learn how to
prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions.
Put a smoke alarm (火警) in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The
alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.
Make escape (逃脱) plans. We should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire,
8BM2英语（试卷） 第 7 页 共 10 页everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure
they can be opened easily. Buy fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the
family should know how to use them.
Practise for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety.
Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:
◆Don't open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.
◆Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor
because smoke rises.
◆What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don't run! The fire burns
faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make
the fire go out. Put a blanket (毯子) around you to keep air away from the fire that may still
be on you.
There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the
time. If there is a fire, don't forget to call 119 for help.
( )36. When a smoke alarm rings at home, it means _____.
A．you have to get up
