    Peter didn't like to use his head. He never put his heart into his studies when he was at school. So he fell behind his classmates and couldn't pass the exams and he hardly finished middle school. Later on he found work in a factory. At first he worked in an office, but he was unable to do his job. He was sent to a workshop. He had to do some unskilled work there. He was always tired when he got home and went to bed as soon as he had supper.

　　Once the young man asked a barber(理發(fā)師) to cut his long hair off. He found the work was clean and light. He decided to be a barber too and he left the factory. He took the barber as his teacher. Three months passed, but he learned nothing and the barber lost his patience(耐心) and told him to go home. The young man stayed at home and had nothing to do. His father helped him to open a barber's shop in their small town, but nobody wouldn't had their hair cut in his shop. His father wanted others to believe Peter and asked his son to cut his hair off. The young was so afraid that he cut his father's ear off. The old man began to call out,“Ear! My ear!”“Peter picked the ear up and said,”“Stop shouting, daddy! Your ear is here.”

閱讀理解。
     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
