Questions are based on the following passage.
As prices and building costs keep rising, the"do-it-yourself"(DIY) trend (趋势) in the U.S.continues to grow.

The Rosses took a two-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 shoemaking factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420."I was deeply upset about
