What is DIY? Why do many people like it? Yang Chen works for a computer business in Beijing. He enjoys his work, but it is not easy for him to relax after work. One day when he saw many toy dogs in a toy shop, he had an idea. “Why not make them myself?” Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else. He has great interest in it because it brings him lots of fun and makes life colourful. So what is DIY? Yes, it is making or creating (创造) things on your own, with your own hands.

It may take much time, but some people, now known as DIYers—do-it-yourselfers, enjoy doing it very much. They enjoy it because it is fun. And they also say it helps them save money, too. What’s more, they think it is a good way to protect the environment (环境). It is a kind of green life. In fact, DIY is not a modern thing in China. Many people remember when it was once a way of life in the past. During the 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. If you wanted something, you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something, you made it yourself.

Times have changed and DIY also has different meanings.

Every weekend in Britain, DIY shops are always very busy. Many people like making their homes better than relaxing. DIY projects are very popular in Britain and there are lots of TV programmes which show people how they can improve their homes.

Some people like easy decorating (装饰). They often put up wall-paper and paint walls, but there are a lot of different DIY projects that people decide to take on, from changing the new floor to fixing a new shower.

Unluckily, people bite off more than they can chew (不自量力), and try to take on jobs which end in DIY disasters (灾难). The shops often tell their shoppers that anything electrical (电的) should be done by an electrician. However, many people don’t care about this warning（警告） and put themselves in danger.

Do you have a lucky number? What is it? Many people have a special number that they hope will bring them good luck.

In Chinese culture, some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky based on (基于)the Chinese word that the number sounds similar to. For example, number 8 sounds similar to the words for “making a fortune”. Some people will even spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone number or vehicle license plate (车牌) numbers. The opening ceremony (开幕式) of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 p.m. on August 8, 2008.

The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes (长袍) and Chinese myths (神话) held that the dragon had nine children. The number 9 also stands for “long lasting”. That's why a man always gives a woman 99 or 999 roses.

So What’s a “bad luck” number in China? It might be 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as a “bad luck” number because it sounds similar to, the character for “death”. Because of this, many buildings skip the fourth floor, and simply call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as,4,14,24,34 and all 40—49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor, as this is considered an unlucky number in many Christian countries. As a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 35 physical floors.

1.Why do Chinese people consider number 8 a lucky number?

2.Why does a man always give a woman 99 or 999 roses in China?

3.Is it easy for Chinese people to think of death when they see number 4?

4.Where is number 13 considered an unlucky number?

5.How many floors may a building whose highest floor is 50 have in Hong Kong?

People often ask what the weather is like in Australia. The answer is that it changes a lot! Why? Because Australia is such a large country, weather in different parts is different in the country.

The northern parts of Australia are warm to hot all year round because it is closer to the equator (赤道). In the north, summer is also the rainy season.

The areas along the coast around Sydney are warm in winter with the lowest temperatures about 50 to 60°F. Summer there is warmer and the temperature is about 80°F.

Many Chinese people like hot pot and Li Yang is one of them.

Three days ago, Li Yang arrived in England. There he had three days of hamburgers, sandwiches, and potatoes. Yesterday he was very excited when he heard that there was going to be a meal of hot pot to welcome the new students.

He went into the room and sat next to an American girl. To his surprise, he saw potatoes and bread in front of him. Where was the hot pot?

When she saw Li Yang was very surprised, the American girl told him that hotpot is NOT hot pot. China has hot pot in two words but English hotpot is written in one word.

Hotpot is made from meat, potatoes and onions. People put it in the oven(烤箱) all day in a heavy pot and on a low heat. It is easy to cook.
