Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership which does good to both of them. You my have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because the remove the cause of discomfort, So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.
Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals (珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they have tine plants which act as "dustman", taking some of the waste products from the coral and gibing in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe.

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-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.

A bankrupt is person who is so deeply in debt (负债) that a court of law decides that someone else must handle (管理) his money for a while. Until the bankrupt is again allowed to handle his own money, he is in a state of bankruptcy. The court appoints a trustee (person who is in charge of keeping or managing some property) to handle the bankrupt's money. Either the person or the people to whom he owes money can ask that the court considers declaring him bankrupt. Almost everything that a bankrupt owns is sold. He is allowed to keep personal items and clothing except for things like expensive furs and jewelry. As the property is sold, the trustee makes sure the bankrupt person is allowed enough money for food, a place to live, and a means to get to and from work, But most of the money is used to pay debts. Usually, a bankrupt's debts are much greater than the value of his property. Then only a certain part of each debt can be paid. When this is done, the bankrupt may handle his own money again.
