      In America,where labour (劳工) costs are so high,DIY is a way of life. Many people repair their own cars,build their own garages,and even rebuild their own houses. Soon many of them will also be writing their own books.

      In Hollywood there is a company that publishes (出版) children ’s books with the help of computers. Other book companies also publish that way,but this company is not like the others. This is a wonderful book that you and your children can make. In this book ? your children can write ( or have you write) and draw all about their family ? friends ? and favourite things. It allows (允许) the reader to become the main character in the stories with the help of computers. Here is how they do it. Let us suppose the child is named Jenny. She lives in New York,and has a dog named Howdy. The computer uses the information to make up a story with pictures. The story is then printed (印刷) up. A child who receives such a book might say ,“This book is about me,” so the company calls itself the “Picture-Me-Books Publishing Company”.

      Children like the picture-me-books because they like to see in print their own names,their pictures and the names of their friends and their pets. But more important,in this way,readers are much more interested in reading the stories. Picture-Me-Books are helping a child to learn how to read.

DIY is l. these days because their pay for labour is becoming higher and higher. And the 2. calls itself “ Picture-Me-Books Publishing Company”. ,

What ’ s the difference between “ Picture-Me-Books Publishing Company” and other book companies?

Picture-Me-Books Publishing Company allows their readers to play the main 3. in the books.

Why do the children like Picture-Me-Books Publishing Company” ?

Because they may see the 4. of their own,their friends and their pets.

What does this passage tell us?

Children will probably learn how to 5. their reading.
