    完形填空。
         I grew up poor-living with my wonderful mother. We had little money, but plenty oflove and attention.
     I was   1   and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.
         My dream was athletics. When I was sixteen, I started playing baseball. I could throw a ninety-mile-per-
    hour fastball and   2   anything that moved on the field. I was also   3  : my high school coach was John,
    who believed in me and, more importantly, taught me how to believe in myself. He   4   me the difference
    between having a dream and remaining true to that dream. One unusual   5   with Coach John changed my
    life forever.
         A friend helped me to find a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket for a new bike,
    new clothes and the   6   of saving for a house for my mother. Then I realized I would have to   7   up summer
    baseball and that meant I would have to tell John I wouldn't be playing.
         When I told John, he was   8   as I expected him to be. "You have your whole life to work," he said. "You
    don't have too many playing days in your life. You can't afford to waste them." I stood before him with my
    head   9  , trying to think of the  10  that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and
    having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment in me.
         "How much are you going to make at this job, son?" he asked.
         "3.5 dollars an hour," I replied.
         "Well," he asked, "is $ 3.5 an hour the price of a dream?"
         That simple question made me understand the difference between  11  something right now and having a
    goal. I decided myself to play sports that summer and within the year I was taken on by the Pittsburgh Pirates
    to play baseball, and was  12  a $ 20 000 contact (agreement). In the same year, I bought my mother the house
    of my dream!

    阅读理解。
         Last week I visited my friend Pete in the new home where he lives with his wife and daughter. Pete used
    to spend his holidays travelling the world, visiting the Louvre in Pairs or watching animals in Africa. Nowadays
    he prefers to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of
    thousands of other British people, he has discovered the joy of DIY (Do It Yourself), which means if there
    are any things that need fixing around the house, he will try to do the job himself.
         As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, I asked Pete
    where he got the idea from. He told me that his favourite source of ideas was a DIY programme on TV.
         This got me thinking about the popularity of DIY programmes in the UK. Nearly every channel has at least
    one home or garden makeover show and there's even a DIY satellite channel.
         I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programmes are so popular. Two common sayings in Britain
    —" an Englishman's home is his castle" and "there's no place like home"-show how important our houses are to
    us. With the recent economic downturn, many people can't afford to buy a bigger house so they are looking
    at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. DIY is the perfect choice.
         But be careful! I read a report that said over 230,000 people were hurt while doing home improvements in
    the UK in just one year, including 41,000 who fell off steps and 5,800 who were seriously hurt by tools.
         I won't be going down to the hardware (五金) store. I'd rather watch DIY on TV with a nice cup of tea!
    1. The underlined phrase "put together" means _____.
    A. painted
    B. cleaned
    C. built
    D. designed
    2. People in the UK _____.
    A. care little about their homes
    B. take DIY as an enjoyable job
    C. like watching all TV programmes
    D. have enough money to spend on houses

    3. From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer _____.

    A. thinks DIY is a good way to relax
    B. likes watching DIY programmes
    C. is becoming interested in DIY
    D. has no plan to do DIY himself
