八年级英语上册(Unit 4 Do it yourself)练习(无答案)(新版)牛津版 试题
《Unit 4 Do it yourself》Read the article about DIY and answer some questions.4.Miss Wang is crazy about DIY. Can you guess what kind of DIY work Miss Wang loves doing? DIYAs prices and building costs keep rising, the "do-it-yourself" (DIY) trend in the USA continues togrow."We needed furniture for our living room," says John Ross, "and we just didn't have enough money tobuy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs." John got married six months ago, andlike many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of livingis very high. The Rosses took a two-week course for $ 280 at a night school. Now they build all theirfurniture 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 shoemaking factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. "1 was deeply upset about it.Now I've finished a car repair course, and 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 tosave money so they can fight 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 andvideos that tell you how you can do things yourself.Questions:1.What does DIY stand for? Is it popular in China now? What kind of DIY work do people usually do?2.How can we become a "do-it-yourselfer"?3.Did you do any DIY work before? Can you say something about your DIY work?(What was it? How did you do that? What tools did you use? Did you have any problems while doingit? How did you feel afer doing that? If possible, you can show the whole class your DIY work.)。

They allow people to keep in touch with each other anytime, anywhere.The light bulbThomas Edison developed the first practical light bulb in 1879.

She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs . She was soon out of breath ( 气喘吁吁).."I suppose I had better go to the doctor." she thought.She went to the doctor and told him her problem. "I'm not at all surprised." he said, "I know what your problem is."He examined her and then gave her some advice. "If you don't do what I say, Mrs. Parker," he said, "You will have a heart attack. It could kill you."Ellen was very worried as she left the doctor's. She knew that she had to take his advice but that it would not be easy and it would take time.The next day she went shopping. The first shop she went into was a butcher shop."I'd like ten pounds of steak, please." she said."Certainly, madam." the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found a large piece of steak. He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and placed it on the scale."That's just ten pounds." he said."That's big enough." Mrs. Parker said.The butcher worked out the price. "At $4.99 a pound that will be $49.90, please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?""Oh, I don't want to buy the meat." Mrs. Parker said."If you don't want to buy it," the butcher replied angrily, "Why did you ask me to get it for you?""My doctor told me that I am too heavy and have to lose ten pounds.
