　　DIY is very popular in China now．Do you know what it is?

　　Yang Chen works for a computer business in Beijing．Though he enjoys his work, it is hard for him to relax after work．

　　“For a long time, I had no choice except going to a bar for a drink and karaoke to relax myself,” he said．

　　One day when he saw many toy dogs in a toy shop, he had an idea．“Why not do some kind of things and relax myself?” Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else．The things he has made by himself don’t look as professionally made as those in the shops, but he likes doing it．

　　“It’s not as much fun to play with things which are bought expensively from the shops,” he said．

　　Now his bookshelves are full of many kinds of things he has made．They are very beautiful and his families and friends like them very much．

　　More and more young people are like Yang, making or creating things on their own．They like to do it themselves．

　　Though making things with our own hands may take much time, some people, now known as DIYers-do-it-yourselfers, enjoy doing it very much．They can make all kinds of things they like．

　　DIY is becoming more and more popular in China．It may be to the young, yet many people remember when it was once a way of life．

　　During 1960s and 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things．Whitewashing the wall or making clothes was a part of life because there was no other choice．If you wanted something done, you had to do it yourself; and if you needed something, you made it yourself．

　　But times have changed and DIY has also different meaning now．

　　In the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning．It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous．In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers．Young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers' luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks．But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”．

　　Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa．She was a different child．She didn't want to work on a farm or marry a farmer －she wanted a more adventurous(冒險的)life．Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital．For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilot's license．

　　Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport．She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man's world．Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot．But she had another idea．Most people were frightened of flying because．flying was still an unreliable(不可靠的) way to travel．There were often delays(延誤),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick．Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B．A．T．agreed．

　　The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses．

　　At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses．In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines．The early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim．When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children．It was hard job and not well paid They worked long hours and earned ＄1 an hour．

　　In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes．Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants．They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past．

　　Newspapers are very important in our daily life．Many people begin their day by reading the paper．In this way they learn what is going on in the world．Sometimes, however, they didn't have the time to read the news carefully and must be pleased with a quick look at the front page．At other times they may be in such a hurry that they have time only to have a quick look at the headlines．

　　There are newspapers to please every reader．In big cities there are many types with several different editions every day．In some towns there are fewer newspapers and perhaps only one edition each day．In some places the paper is printed weekly．

　　Most newspapers have several editions, especially on Sundays when the edition is larger than usual．There are, besides the front page with the most important news, the sports news, the amusement page, a business page and so on．
