27、As prices and building costs keep rising, the DIY in big cities of China becomes more popular.

“We needed furniture for our living room,” says Li Ling, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” Li Ling got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they tried their best to make a home by themselves because the cost of living is very high. Li Ling and his wife took a two-week course for 1280 yuan at a training school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.

Mr. Wang has three boys and his wife has died. He has a job in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for 900 yuan. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I've finished a car repair course. I should be able to fix the car by myself.”

Li Ling and Mr. Wang are not unusual people. Most families in our country are doing everything they can to save money so they can light 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 that tell you how you can do things yourselves.

A. Because of the high cost of living.

28、阅读下面的材料,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。（提示：每空不超过三个单词）

April Fool's Day is a celebration that【1】(take) place in different countries around the world. It happens on April 1st every year and is a day when many people play all kinds of tricks and jokes 【2】 each other.

One April Fool's Day, a reporter in England announced that there would be no more spaghetti because the spaghetti farmers in Italy had stopped growing spaghetti. Many people ran to their local supermarkets to buy as 【3】(many) spaghetti as they could. By the time people realized that the story was a hoax, all of the spaghetti across the country had been sold out.
