Many people like watching TV.      TV is       of the most important activities of the day. TV brings the outside world      to people’s homes. Some people say the world is smaller than        because of TV. Perhaps they are right.
What’s going on in other countries? How       people live in far-away places?       there a good sports game somewhere？What’s life like in the deepest part of the sea?
If you want to      out these and other kinds of questions, just turn on your TV. Turn it on and watch. You can see a lot and you can learn a lot. Of course people can also learn through reading or learning      the radio. But they can learn better and more easily. Why? Because they can hear and watch, too.

  Have you ever noticed how busy our roads are becoming? Every year more and more cars are using them. Already in such countries as America, almost every family has a car. Many accidents happen because cars are now made to travel very fast. Also, people waste time and money every day as long lines of cars move slowly into towns and cities. In most big towns it is very hard to find parking spaces.
Wide, smooth (平的), straight (直的) roads must be built now in place of the old and narrow roads. These roads must not pass through towns and cities. They must not be crossed by other roads.
Today such roads are being built（在建造中） in many countries in the world. These roads have at least two lanes（车道）, one for slow-moving traffic and the other for fast-moving traffic.
These roads do not pass through town and cities; horses and bikes are not allowed on them. Accidents do not usually happen. Cars can travel hundreds of miles without having to stop.
But these modem roads often cannot be built in towns and cities. Before a road in a town can be made wider, many buildings have to be pulled down.
Some people feel that more car-parks should be built outside a city, then the drivers should leave their cars and catch a bus or take a taxi to their offices.

DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmers show people how to DIY.
English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK----"As Englishman's home is his castle". If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. More and more people enjoy the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also D1Y for saving money. They like making their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to get together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can't understand the instructions（结构）.
DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional(专业的) worker. Unluckily, many people don't care about this warning and put themselves in danger.
