There is a saying in UK——“As Englishman’s home is his castle”. A number of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. 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 have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn(经济萎缩) at present, many people can not afford a big house.

There is a big market for DIY furniture which people need to get together themselves with a few basic tools.

Many of them may not get finished. 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. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.So DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew(贪多嚼不烂).

Although the 64-page handbook contains suggestions for Chinese tourists when traveling at home, the main purpose is to improve the poor reputation（声誉）of Chinese tourists abroad.In 2013, more than 83 million Chinese people traveled overseas, up 18 percent from the year 2012, according to the China Tourism Academy. But even as they travel farther, the Chinese tourists continue to take bad habits with them. From damaging ancient Egyptian temples to letting children defecate（排便）in the middle of airports, Chinese tourists have earned a bad fame. Chinese Vice-Premier Wang Yang even stressed the need for Chinese tourists to behave better while traveling overseas so as to protect China's image abroad.Now with the latest "guidebook", Chinese travelers should have no excuse for rude behavior. According to the guidelines, when using the restroom, Chinese tourists are asked not to forget to flush the toilet after using it.The guidelines also remind tourists of not fighting with others when they want to take pictures at tourist attractions. When flying, the guidelines advise travelers not to take life vests（救生衣）away from airplanes.Chinese tourists are also encouraged to be respectful of local customs wherever they travel. In t he United Kingdom, for example, it is not polite to ask people "Where are you going?" or"Have you eaten?", the handbook says.Nevertheless, with a very short history of traveling overseas, it is not surprising that many Chinese tourists behave badly on their foreign trips. We should give them time to change.（）1. What's the main purpose of the new guideline?A. To improve the Chinese tourists' behavior abroad.B. To guide the Chinese tourists how to travel farther.C. To introduce the famous places of interest all over the world.D. To give suggestions to Chinese tourists when traveling at home.（）2. How many people traveled abroad in 2012?A. About 83 million.B.

Respect local customs wherever they travel.B. Try to be polite both at home and abroad.C. Ask questions when they meet with difficulty.D.

Carpooling is a group of people sharing the responsibility(责任) of driving to school in the morning. There are usually four or five kids in a carpool and their parents take turns driving the kids in their cars.It might be the kids’ first experience with real teamwork.

Take that over a town, a city, a state, a country and think about how much less pollution is going to be in the air over the course of even one year.Gas(汽油) now is much more expensive than it used to and if you need towatch the cents(美分), then it’s possible that carpooling could be the answer to your prayers. Even if you have to use your car once a week instead of two, that’s one round trip of gas you’re saving. So carpooling helps you save money.Carpooling is a great way of getting to know people better. If you’re carpooling grade school kids, then you’ll find that slowly you’ll get to know your child’s peers(同龄人) and friends better.
