Mr. Dawson is an old man with a bad temper (脾气). Kids were afraid to go into his yard to pick apples.
One day, 12-year-old Janet and her friend Amy had to walk past Mr. Dawson’ s house. When Janet saw him outside, she suggested they cross the street and walk on the other side. But Amy said they didn’t need to.

As prices and building costs keep rising(上涨的), the do-it-yourself (DIY） trend (趋势） in the U.S. continues to grow.
“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “And we just didn't have enough money to buy it. So we decide to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses 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 a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I've finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so that they can fight with 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 yourself.

In the United States, each farm family lives on its own fields, and often can’t see any people living around. Instead of travelling from a village to the fields every morning, American farmers stay on their land all the week. They travel to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for church. The children ride on buses to large schools which serve all of the farm families living in the area. In some areas, there are not big schools serving a few families, and the children walk to school. Of course life keeps changing for everyone, including farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios, and television set. And of course there are modern machines for farming. All of these have changed farm life. For many years, farmers had to deal with their own problems, instead of getting help from others.

Mrs. Green’s telephone number is 51688. It is a lucky number. But it has brought the Greens much trouble. There is a cinema next to their house. The number of the cinema is 54688. People often make a mistake when they want to call the cinema and they call her.
One evening the telephone rang and Mrs. Green answered it. A tired man said, “At what time does the last film begin?” “I’m sorry.” said Mrs. Green, “but you mistake the number. This is not the cinema.” “ Oh, it began half an hour ago?” said the man,” I’m sorry to hear it. Good-bye.”
Mrs. Green was surprised, so she told her husband about it. Her husband laughed and said, “It’s clear that the man’s wife wanted to go to the cinema, but he was feeling tired, so he did that. His wife heard him, but didn’t hear you. Now they can stay at home and the husband can have a good rest.”
