Many people in America love comics (連環(huán)畫). Some of the most popular comics are about superheroes. These American superheroes are drawn to look like strong men or strong women. Wearing special clothes, they fight the bad and save the weak.

There are two main companies in the US that produce superhero comics. DC Comics designed superheroes like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman in the late 1930s and 1940s. During this "Golden Age of Comics", millions of comics were sold every month. This lasted until 1945. After that time, superhero comics became less and less popular. In the 1950s, American comics entered their "Dark Age". Many comic companies could not make money and closed down.

In the early 1960s, the "Silver Age of Comics" began. Another company, Marvel Comics, started to become popular. It produced many characters which are known to people all over the world. These include the X-Men and Spider-Man. In these comics, the superheroes have the same problems as common people. Spider-Man, for example, is unable to save money and has problems with his friends and family.

Comics can give students an interest in reading. They may help young people develop their ideas in the mind. Nowadays, many American comics have been made into popular movies.

Last week I visited my friend Pete in the new home. Pete usually spend his holidays travelling around the world, visiting different cities or watching animals in Africa. Now he prefers(更喜歡) to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has found the joy of DIY. As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, I asked Pete where he got the idea. He told me that he got most of his ideas from DIY programme on TV. DIY programmes are very popular in the UK. Nearly every channel(頻道) has at least one home or garden makeover(改善) show and there’s even a DIY satellite(衛(wèi)星) channel.

I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programmes are so popular. Many people don’t have enough money to buy a bigger house so they are looking at how they can make their house better without spending much. DIY is the best choice.

But be careful! I read a report that said over 230,000 people were hurt while doing home makeover in the UK in just one year, including 41,000 who fell off steps and 5,800 who were badly hurt by tools. I won’t go down to the hardware store. I’d rather watch DIY on TV with a nice cup of tea!

1.What didn’t Pete do during his holidays in the past?

A. Travelling around the world. B. Making his house look better.

C. Visiting different cities. D. Watching animals in Africa.

2.How did Pete learn DIY?

A. He attended DIY lessons. B. From his neighbours.

C. From a TV programme. D. From a DIY book.

3.The phrase “put together” means “_________” in Chinese.

A. 油漆 B. 打掃 C. 組裝 D. 設(shè)計

4.People in the UK _________.

A. care little about their homes B. take DIY as an enjoyable job

C. like watching TV D. have enough money to spend on houses

5.From the last paragraph we can infer(推斷) that the writer _________.
