DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in the UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programs show people how to DIY.
English people like DIY. If there is anything that needs fixing (修理) around their homes, such as p 小题1: the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY e 小题2: with their friends. More and more people are fond of DIY and have d 小题3: the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. At present, many people can’t a 小题4: a big house. They are looking at how they can make their houses better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult. There is a large market for DIY furniture (家具) which needs to be got together by people themselves w 小题5: a few tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions (指令). Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture i 小题6: is difficult to build. DIY can also be dangerous if you are not careful enough. It is r 小题7: that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in the UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.

解析
试题分析：本文介绍的是DIY在英国广受欢迎，而且在各种场合有着广泛的运用；但是又举例说明了生活中由于自制一些家具时所存在的潜在危险因素是值得我们大家引以为戒的，并且通过活生生的例子说明了事态的严重性。
小题1:家庭内部的修饰或者是装饰，结合后面的宾语the walls可知应该指的是粉刷墙壁等活计，参照or后面的putting in可知应用动词的ing形式；故答案为painting。
小题2:本句考查share sth with sb意为“与某人分享某物”，即他们与朋友分享自己动手做事情的经历；故答案为experience
小题3:越来越多的人喜欢自己动手制作东西并且发现了这种制作的快乐。故答案为discovered
小题4:根据前面一句Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. 可知，目前在英国买房是许多人承受不起的；故答案为afford
小题5:有一个自制家具的大型市场，需要人们自己集中起来并且要借助一些工具来完成，with表示“用，使用，借助”；故答案为with
小题6:有时操作说明很简单清晰，但是家具自身制作起来却不是那么简单。Itself为反身代词修饰the furniture，做the furniture的同位语；故答案为itself
小题7:本句是列举的报道中的一些危险案例和事件，人数之多是超出大家的预料的，it isreported that意为“据报道”；故答案为reported
小题8:根据上文的have discovered the joy of DIY可知，它可以为我们带来欢乐，使我们节省钱；故答案为fun
小题9:如果我们制作一些比较难的事物，它并不总是像我们想象的那样简单，it is thought意为“据认为，被认为”；故答案为thought
小题10:或许工厂应该生产一些对我们手工制作来说更简单、更容易的产品。故答案为safer |
举一反三
We often act like babies when we want to be happy. Why? I think it is because children have no worry and they don’t complain.
We can set a goal in our life and go after what we want. But if we’re ① all the time, how can we live happily? If you don’t believe me, count how many ① you complain about something in one day. Whether it is being trapped in busy traffic or troubled by weather, or whatever it is, there are endless things you can find to complain about.
But it’s not just the outside condition that we will complain about. We complain about ourselves too. We complain that we don’t have enough time or money, and that we’re not smart enough, cool enough, or just enough. Many times we experience lots of unpleasant things because of complaining about things we can’t control.
Think about how much happier you would be if you stopped complaining? ②Much of what you complain about is out of your control anyway. What’s the meaning of thinking about something you have no power to change?
Finding out what you are complaining about is the first step to stop complaining. Ask yourself if you prefer to complain or to be happy.
It’s best to stop to enjoy the beautiful life, but not to waste time to complain.
