The United States is well-known for its network of

单选题Some people would say that the Englishman"s home is no longer his castle, and that it has become his workshop. This is partly because the average Englishman is keen on working with his own hands and partly because he feels, for one reason or another, that he must do for himself many households for which, some years ago, he would have hired professional help. The main reason for this is a financial one. The high cost of labor has meant that builders" and decorators" cost have reached a level which makes them prohibitive for house-proud English people of modest means. So, if they wish to keep their houses looking bright and smart, they have to tackle some of the repairs and decorating themselves. As a result, there has grown up in the post-war years what is sometimes referred to as the "do-it-yourself movement".
The "do-it-yourself movement" began with home decorating but has since spread into a much wider field. Nowadays there seem to be very few things that can"t be made by the "do-it-yourself movement" method. A number of magazines and handbooks exist to show hopeful handymen of all ages just how easy it is to build anything from a coffee table to a fifteen foot (4.5 meters) sailing dinghy. All you need, it seems, is a hammer and a few nails. You follow the simple instructions step by step and, before you know where you are, the finished article stands before you, completely in every detail.
Unfortunately, alas, it is not always quite as simple as it sounds. Many a budding "do-it-yourself" has found to his cost that one cannot learn a skilled craftsman"s job overnight. How quickly one realizes, when doing it oneself, that a job which takes the skilled man an hour or so to complete takes the amateur handyman five or six at least. And then there is the question of tools. The first thing the amateur learns is that he must have the right tools for the job. But tools cost money. There is also the wear and tear on the nerves. It is not surprising then that many people have come to the conclusion that the expense of paying processional to do the work is, in the long run, more economical than "do-it-yourself".

单选题 The idea of test-tube babies may make you either delighted
at the wonders of modern medicine or irritated while considering the moral, or
legal, or technological implications of starting life in a laboratory. But if
you've ever been pregnant yourself, one thing is certain: You wonder what it's
like to carry a test-tube baby. Are these pregnancies normal? Are the babies
normal? The earliest answers come from Australia, where a group
of medical experts at the Queen Victoria Medical Center in Melbourne have taken
a look at the continent's first nine successful "in vitro" pregnancies. The
Australians report that the pregnancies themselves seemed to proceed according
to plan, but at birth some unusual trends did show up. Seven of the nine babies
turned out to be girls. Six of the nine were delivered by Caesarean section
(剖腹产手术). And one baby, a twin, was born with a serious heart defect and a few
days later developed life-threatening problems. What does it
all mean? Even the doctors don't know for sure, because the numbers are so
small. The proportion of girls to boys is high, but until there are many more
test-tube babies no one will know whether that's something that just happened to
be like that or something special that happens when egg meets sperm in a test
tube instead of a Fallopian tube (输卵管). The same thing is true of the single
heart defect; it usually shows up in only 15 out of 60,000 births in that part
of Australia, but the fact that it occurred in one out of nine test-tube babies
does not necessarily mean that they are at special risk. One thing the doctors
can explain is the high number of Caesareans. Most of the mothers were older,
had long histories of fertility problems and in some cases had had surgery on
the Fallopian tubes, all of which made them likely candidates for Caesareans
anyway. The Australian researchers report that they are quite
encouraged. All the babies are now making normal progress, even the twin with
the birth defects.
