A Trip to the Forest

As prices and building costs keep rising, 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.We can learn from the text that many newly married people__________.

Everyone should get enough sleep. If a student doesn't sleep well at night, he won't study well and he can’t listen to the teacher carefully in class. For a driver, it is easier for him to have an accident (事故) if he is tired. Good sleep is also important for your health. Without good sleep, a person may become ill.
It is hard for some people to sleep well. A lot of things can help you get a good night's sleep. First, doing some exercise will help you sleep. Walking, running and bike riding are good ways. Other good ways are playing ball games, such as basketball, soccer or tennis. However, you must not do these just before bedtime.
Second, before you go to bed, you shouldn't drink coffee or any soft drinks. It is also not a good idea to eat sweets. But drinking a cup of warm milk may help you to sleep.
Third, you can take a warm bath or listen to quiet music before you go to bed. Many people find that they are helpful to sleep.
Follow the advice above and have a good sleep every day. Then you can wake up happily in the morning and maintain your health.
