　　People use the word ‘friend’ freely. Friends may have known each other (22 ) childhood or they may have recently met.

　　三，阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
　　A
　　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（家具）for our living room, "says John Ross, "and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs." John got married six months ago, and in common with 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 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 that tell you how you can do things yourself.

　　What is the E-mail
　　The e-mail, which is also called email, stands for “electronic mail”. You can send messages in only a few seconds by e-mail.
　　On the Internet there are many powerful computers called “servers” to help people send and receive emails. The sending and receiving servers are just like post offices. If you want to use the email service, you have to open at least an email account(账户) called a “mailbox”, just like we set up a mailbox in a post office. Some mailboxes are provided free of charge by ISPs, which you can get when you open an Internet account. Most widely used mailboxes are provided free by the ISPs, and anyone can apply for one even if he has no ISP account.
　　How to apply for a free mailbox? First you have to connect to the Internet and go to the homepage(主页) of the ISP providing free mailboxes. Then you’ll find an icon(符号) showing “apply for a free mailbox”, click the icon, an agreement about the rules for using the free mailbox will appear. If you want to go on, click the icon “I agree”. Then you have to fill in a form about your basic personal information, and the name and pin of the mailbox. The pin is the key to the mailbox. After finishing these, you’ll get a mailbox like this: your name @ mail server, for example: jack@ 163. com. The mailbox is separated into two parts by a separator “@”, which is read as “at”. The former part is the name of the mailbox. The latter (后者) is the domain name(域名) of the mail server. All mails to you will be received by the server and put into your mailbox. You can read this mail on any computer in the world as long as you have the name and pin of the mailbox.
