Like their pioneer ancestors, they can build it themselves, and at less than half the cost of a ready-made house. The owner-builders came from every occupational group, although surprisingly few are professional building workers. Many take the plunge with little or no experience. “I learned how to build my house from reading books, says John Brown, who built a six-room home for $25, 000 in High Falls, New Jersey. “If you have patience and the carpentryskill to make a bookcase, you can build a house. An astonishing 50 percent of these owner builders hammer every nail, 1ay every pipe, and wire every switch with their own hands. The rest contractfor some parts of the task. But even those who just act as contractors and finish the insides of their homes can save from 30 percent to 45 percent of what a ready-made home would cost. One survey revealed that 60 percent of owner-builders also design their homes. Many others buy commercial house plans for less than $100 or use plans available from the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 【查看更多】

     

    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    The teacher was leaving the village, and everybody seemed sorry.  The miller at Cresscombe lent him the small cart and horse to carry his goods to Christminster, the city of his destination, such a vehicle proving of quite enough size for the teacher’s belongings.  For his only article, in addition to the packing-case of books, was a piano that he had bought when he thought of learning instrumental music.  But the eagerness having faded, he had never acquired any skill in playing, and the purchased article had been a permanent trouble to him.

    The headmaster had gone away for the day, being a man who disliked the sight of changes.  He did not mean to return till the evening, when the new teacher would have arrived, and everything would be smooth again.

    The blacksmith, the farm bailiff and the teacher were standing in confused attitudes in the sitting room before the instrument.  The teacher had remarked that even if he got it into the cart he should not know what to do with it on his arrival at Christminster, since he was only going into a temporary place just at first.

    A little boy of eleven, who had been assisting in the packing, joined the group of men, and said, “Aunt has got a fuel-house, and it could be put there, perhaps, till you’ve found a place to settle in, sir.”

    “Good idea,” said the blacksmith.

    The smith and the bailiff started to see about the possibility of the suggested shelter, and the boy and the teacher were left standing alone.

    “Sorry I am going, Jude.” said the latter gently.

    Tears rose into the boy’s eyes.  He admitted that he was sorry.

    “So am I,” said Mr. Phillotson.

    “Why do you go, sir?” asked the boy.

    “Well ----- don’t speak of this everywhere.  You know what a university is, and a university degree?  It is the necessary hallmark of a man who wants to do anything in teaching.  My scheme, or dream, is to be a university graduate.  By going to live at Christminster, I shall be at headquarters, so to speak, and if my scheme is practicable at all, I consider that being on the spot will afford me a better chance.”

    The smith and his companion returned.  Old Miss Fawley’s fuel-house was practicable; and she seemed willing to give the instrument standing-room there.  So it was left in the school till the evening, when more hands would be available for removing it; and the teacher gave a final glance round.

    At nine o’clock Mr. Phillotson mounted beside his box of books, and waved his friends good-bye.

    The teacher was leaving the village, and everybody seemed sorry. The miller at Cresscombe lent him the small cart（运货车）and horse to carry his goods to Christminster, the city of his destination, such a vehicle proving of quite enough size for the teacher's belongings. For his only article, in addition to the packing-case of books, was a piano that he had bought when he thought of learning instrumental music. But the eagerness having faded,  he had never acquired any skill in playing, and the purchased article had been a permanent trouble to him.

           The headmaster had gone away for the day, being a man who disliked the sight of changes. He did not mean to return till the evening, when the new teacher would have arrived, and everything would be smooth again.

    The blacksmith, the farm bailiff and the teacher were standing in confused attitudes in the sitting room before the instrument. The teacher had remarked that even if he got it into the cart he should not know what to do with it on his arrival at Christminster, since he was only going into a temporary(临时的) place just at first.

    A little boy of eleven, who had been assisting in the packing, joined the group of men, and said, ‘Aunt has got a fuel-house, and it could be put there, perhaps, till you’ve found a place to settle in, sir.’

    ‘Good idea,’ said the blacksmith.

    The smith and the bailiff started to see about the possibility of the suggested shelter, and the boy and the teacher were left standing alone.

           ‘Sorry I am going, Jude?’ asked the latter kindly.

           Tears rose into the boy’s eyes. He admitted that he was sorry.

           ‘So am I,’ said Mr. Phillotson.

    ‘Why do you go, sir?’ asked the boy.

    ‘Well—don't speak of this everywhere. You know what a university is, and a university degree? It is the necessary hallmark (标志) of a man who wants to do anything in teaching. My scheme, or dream, is to be a university graduate. By going to live at Christminster, I shall be at headquarters, so to speak, and if my scheme is practicable at all, I consider that being on the spot will afford me a better chance.’

    The smith and his companion returned. Old Miss Fawley's fuel-house was practicable; and she seemed willing to give the instrument standing-room there. So it was left in the school till the evening, when more hands would be available for removing it; and the teacher gave a final glance round.
