Last week I visited my friend Pete in the new home. Pete usually spend his holidays travelling around the world, visiting different cities or watching animals in Africa. Now he prefers(更喜欢) to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has found the joy of DIY. As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, I asked Pete where he got the idea. He told me that he got most of his ideas from DIY programme on TV. DIY programmes are very popular in the UK. Nearly every channel(频道) has at least one home or garden makeover(改善) show and there’s even a DIY satellite(卫星) channel.

I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programmes are so popular. Many people don’t have enough money to buy a bigger house so they are looking at how they can make their house better without spending much. DIY is the best choice.

But be careful! I read a report that said over 230,000 people were hurt while doing home makeover in the UK in just one year, including 41,000 who fell off steps and 5,800 who were badly hurt by tools. I won’t go down to the hardware store. I’d rather watch DIY on TV with a nice cup of tea!

1.What didn’t Pete do during his holidays in the past?

A. Travelling around the world.　　 B. Making his house look better.

C. Visiting different cities.　　 D. Watching animals in Africa.

2.How did Pete learn DIY?

A. He attended DIY lessons.　　 B. From his neighbours.

C. From a TV programme.　　 D. From a DIY book.

3.The phrase “put together” means “_________” in Chinese.

A. 油漆　　 B. 打扫　　 C. 组装　　 D. 设计

4.People in the UK _________.

A. care little about their homes　　 B. take DIY as an enjoyable job

C. like watching TV　　 D. have enough money to spend on houses

5.From the last paragraph we can infer(推断) that the writer _________.

A. thinks DIY is a good way to relax　　 B. likes watching DIY programmes

C. is becoming interested in DIY　　 D. has no plan to do DIY

Last week, I visited my friend Pete in his new home, where he lives with his wife and daughter. Pete used to spend his holidays traveling around the world – visiting the pyramids in Egypt or scuba diving (水肺潜水) in the Caribbean. Nowadays, he prefers to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he’s found the joy of DIY (do it yourself) home repairs. This means that if there’s anything that needs fixing around the house, he will try to do the job himself.

Pete showed me his new kitchen, which he put together himself, and his newly-painted walls. I asked him where he got the idea to do these things. He told me that his favourite source (来源) of ideas is a DIY program on TV.

This got me thinking about how popular DIY programs are in the UK. Each main channel (频道) has at least one home or garden makeover show. There are even channels totally on the subject.

I suppose it’s not really surprising that DIY programs are so popular. There are two common sayings in Britain – “an Englishman’s home is his castle (城堡)” and “there’s no place like home” – which show how important our houses are to us. With the social changes of the last ten years or so, many people can’t afford to buy bigger houses. So they are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. DIY, clearly, is the perfect choice.

1.Pete usually spent his holidays ______ in the past.

A. traveling round the world

B. visiting Egypt

C. diving in the Caribbean

D. building a new house

2.What do most British people enjoy doing nowadays?

A. Finishing their work at home.

B. Doing everything on their own.

C. Spending their spare time at home.

D. Doing the home repairs themselves.

3.How did Pete manage to make his house more beautiful?

A. He asked house builders for advice.

B. He got help from a DIY TV program.

C. He called some of his friends for help.

D. He paid workers to do the house work.

4.What does the underlined word “makeover” in Paragraph 3 probably means?

A. 修建

B. 交换

C. 修饰

D. 化妆

5.DIY programs have become popular because ______.

A. other programs are too boring to watch

B. people are spending more time watching TV

C. people can’t afford new houses any more

D. people are spending more time fixing their houses
