M: Did you check the used book section here？ Maybe they have it.

W: No, hey don't. I asked.

M: Why don't you get it from the library？

W: Are you joking？ I've been trying for months and it's always out. There are more than 45 students in the course and every single one wants the book.

M: Listen, you know my roommate, Henry, don't you？ He took the same course last year and I believe he owns the book. I'll ask him if he'll lend it to you.

听力原文：W: Art Department, the treasurer Brown speaking.

M: Hello, Professor Brown, my name is Frak Meloy. I'm thinking of taking your course in acrylic painting, and I'm calling to find more about it.

W: Have you ever worked with acrylic paints？

M: I've done very little painting at all. I'm a chemistry major, but I enjoy drawing. And the course description says that any student can sign up. 1 assume that means that experience in painting isn't necessary.

W: Yes, that's right. We'll be using acrylic paints instead of oils because they are easier to handle and dry more quickly. Also, beginning students can get a good feel for what they can do with textures by working with acrylic paints.

M: My roommate is also a chemistry major, but he has painted quite a bit. If he signed up for the course, would he find it too easy？

W: No, he could work on using techniques he already knows and applying them to principles of composition, color and design. There's something for everyone in this course.

M: One more question. Do we need to bring our own brushes and paints to class？

W: Yes, you can buy them at the bookstore. I'll provide drawing board and any other sup plies that're necessary. I hope you decide to join us.

M: It sounds interesting. I'll definitely register today.

W: Fine. See you next Monday afternoon. Don't forget your brushes and paints.

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 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 they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a "do- it-yourself", 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 married people ______.

A．find it hard to pay for what they need

B．have to learn to make their own furniture

C．take DIY courses run by the government

D．seldom go to a department store to buy things

Now his trial was about to begin, and he felt sure that he would be found guilty and sent to prison for a long time.

Then he discovered that an old friend of his was one of the members of the jury at his trial. Of course, he didn't tell anybody, but he managed to see his friend secretly one day. He said to him, "Karl, I know that the jury will find me guilty. I cannot hope to be found not guilty of taking the money—that would be too much to expect. But I should be grateful to you for the rest of my life if you could persuade the other members of the jury to add a strong recommendation for mercy to their statement that they consider me guilty."

"Well, Larry," answered Karl, "I shall certainly try to do what I can for you as an old friend, but of course I cannot promise anything. The other eleven people of the jury look terribly strong-minded to me."

Larry said that he would quite understand if Karl was not able to do anything for him, and thanked him warmly for agreeing to help.

The trial went on and in the end the jury found Larry guilty, with a strong recommendation for mercy, as Larry had wished. Of course Larry was very pleased. When some time after the trial Karl went to visit him in prison, Larry thanked him warmly and asked Karl how he managed to persuade the other members of the jury to recommend mercy.

"Well, Larry," Karl answered, "as I thought, those eleven people were very difficult to persuade, but I managed it in the end by tiring them out. Do you know, those fools had all wanted to find you not guilty!"

C．A judge.

D．A group of people who decide if someone on trial is guilty or not guilty.
