People taking "do it yourself" as a way of life may do the following things EXCEPT
In America, where labor costs are so high, (14)"do-it-yourself" is a way of life. Many people repair their own cars, build their own garages, and even do alterations to their own houses. Soon they may also be writing their own books. In Hollywood there is a company that publishes children’s books with the aid of computers. Although other book companies also publish that way, (15)this particular company is very unusual. It "personalizes" the books by the computer and makes the reader the leading character in the story. Here is how they do it. Let us say your child is named Jenny. She lives on Oak Drive in St. Louis, has a dog named Spot, a cat named Tabby, and three playmates whose names are Betsy, Sandy, and Jody. The computer uses this information to fill out a story that has already been prepared and illustrated. The story is then printed with standard equipment as a hardcover book. The child who receives such a book might say, "This book is about me", the company therefore calls itself the "Me-Books Publishing Company".
Children like the Me-Books because they like to see in print their own names and the names of their friends and their pets. (16)But more important, "personalization" has been found to be an important tool in developing enthusiasm for reading. Me-Books thus help a child to learn how to read, by appealing to the natural desire to see his or her own name in print.
选项
A、repairing their own cars
B、building their own houses
C、building their own garages
D、writing their own books soon
答案
B
解析
细节题。原文的开头提到美国劳动力价格较高,人们选择自己动手修理汽车、建车库、改建房屋,很快也将编写自己的图书,并没有说人们自己建造房屋,因此正确答案为B。
