Here are four of the biggest mistakes that homeowners often make. Taking on Too Much More than 40% of people find DIY projects more difficult and expensive than they thought. By taking on a task that needs more time or skills than you have, you may end up with a big mess and an unfinished project. “It’s important to think about why you want to DIY and what you’re hoping to get out of it” said Bailey Carson, a home care expert. “If you’re doing it just to save money, you might need to think twice. Without the time, tools, and talent to do it correctly and safely, mistakes may cost you more in the long run than simply paying others to help from the beginning.” ________ A third of people used the wrong tool for a DIY project, which can make the job more difficult and less safe. Many tools are designed for special uses and materials, so if you use them for other tasks, you may get hurt. Always use the proper tools for each project, and make sure you know how to use them. Not Safety First DIY mistakes can not only be costly but also dangerous. Of the survey people who once made a big mistake during their DIY projects, 47% said that the mistake led to serious problems, while 44% started a fire or fell off a roof or ladder. Take your time and follow all safety rules when using tools. Wearing dust masks, safety glasses, hearing protection or gloves to protect yourself. Skipping Important Steps Skipping a key step can end up your whole DIY project and you might not realize it until much later. In the survey, 47% of people said that they had finished a DIY project before realizing it was done wrong. Read all instructions carefully ahead of time, and make sure you have the necessary skills to complete each step before you begin. 1．According to Paragraph 2, people who ________ are suitable for DIY. A．want to save money B．want to save time C．are skillful enough D．are careful enough 2．Which of the following should be put in the blank (横线)? A．Using the wrong tools B．Using the special tools C．Using the expensive tools D．Using the proper tools 3．Why did the writer write this passage? A．To tell us DIY is very dangerous. B．To show DIY can help us save money. C．To tell us the importance of DIY. D．To help us keep away from DIY mistakes. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 【导语】本文主要讨论DIY可能遇到的常见错误以及如何避免这些错误。 1．细节理解题。根据“By taking on a task that needs more time or skills than you have,”可知，想要DIY，需要熟练的技能。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“A third of people used the wrong tool for a DIY project, which can make the job more difficult and less safe.”可知，本段叙述的是“使用错误的工具”。故可推知选项A应该填入空处。故选A。 3．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要讨论DIY可能遇到的常见错误以及如何避免这些错误。故可推知，作者写这篇文章是为了帮助我们远离DIY错误。故选D。 Making Dragon Boat Festival Sachets (香囊) Every year at the Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese families make sachets—small cloth bags filled with smelly plants.

However, Sara doesn’t think so. She has a few heirlooms. Anyone can buy them in a shop. However, they are special to her because they belonged to her grandmother. After Sara’s grandmother died, her family chose something of hers to keep to remember her. As Sara lived far away, her mother picked things out for her—a tablecloth, a mirror, and an old pot. Sara kept these things, but she didn’t use them much. The tablecloth didn’t fit her tables. She didn’t like the color of the mirror frame (镜框), and the pot was too small and old. Sara’s life changed when she read something in a book: Don’t keep anything in your house that you don’t find useful or beautiful. That’s right. “But what about sentimental (情感的) things like heirlooms? They’re beautiful if they remind us of good times with loved ones,” Sara thought. Sara decided to give these things a fresh start. She painted the mirror frame a different color to go with her daughter’s room. Although Sara’s daughter never met her grandmother, they share a connection through the mirror. Sara bought a table to go with her grandmother’s tablecloth. She also started using her grandmother’s pot. Whenever she cooks with it, Sara thinks of her grandmother making bread long ago. These things, once forgotten, are useful again, bringing together old memories and new stories. 1．What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A．Heirlooms. B．Gold. C．Silver. D．Expensive things. 2．Why did Sara hardly use her heirlooms? A．Because they were too old. B．Because she liked modern things better. C．Because they didn’t meet her needs or taste. D．Because they reminded her of her grandmother. 3．What made Sara change her attitude toward the heirlooms? A．Advice from a friend. B．Words from a book. C．Her mother’s advice. D．Her daughter’s wish. 4．What can we infer from the text? A．Sara used her heirlooms to save money. B．Sara didn’t find her heirlooms beautiful. C．Sara will keep more old things at home. D．Old things have sentimental meaning for Sara. 5．What could be the best title for the text? A．Old treasures, new stories. B．Sara’s love for DIY activities. C．How to choose family heirlooms. D．The meaning of expensive heirlooms. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，Sara起初因传家宝不符合需求而少用，后受书中启发而重新利用，让旧传家宝承载旧回忆与新故事。 1．词句猜测题。根据“However, they are special to her because they belonged to her grandmother.”可知，这里的“they”指的是前文提到的传家宝，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“The tablecloth didn’t fit her tables. She didn’t like the color of the mirror frame (镜框), and the pot was too small and old.”可知，Sara几乎不使用这些传家宝是因为它们不符合她的需求和品味，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Sara’s life changed when she read something in a book: Don’t keep anything in your house that you don’t find useful or beautiful.”可知，是书中的话让Sara改变了对传家宝的态度，故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“‘But what about sentimental (情感的) things like heirlooms? They’re beautiful if they remind us of good times with loved ones,’ Sara thought.”和“These things, once forgotten, are useful again, bringing together old memories and new stories.”可以推断出，旧物件对Sara来说有着情感上的意义，故选D。 5．最佳标题题。文章讲述了Sara对祖母的传家宝从忽视到重新利用，让旧物有了新故事，“Old treasures, new stories.” 最能概括文章内容，故选A。 You may want a great activity for your younger brothers or sisters to play outside.

Your boat can be better if you glue the corks before that.”可知，用两根橡皮筋把它们连在一起。如果你在那之前把软木塞粘在一起，你的船会更好。由此可推测，此处that指的是上文提到的“用橡皮筋将软木塞绑在一起”这个动作。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据Steps下内容可知，造船的正确步骤是：用木棍在软木塞上打孔，即a→粘合软木塞并用橡皮筋固定，即e→用彩纸剪出帆形和三角形，即c→将三角形粘在木棍顶端作为旗子，即d→将带旗的木棍穿过帆形孔，即f→将木棍插入中间软木塞的孔中，即b。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据Tips下内容“Don’t let children play by the pool on their own.”可知，当做DIY工作时，孩子们不应该独自让船在水池中漂浮。故选B。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了如何用软木塞、彩纸等简单材料制作小船的手工教程，包含所需工具、制作步骤和安全提示。由此可推测，我们可以从海报上读到这篇文章。故选C。 When it comes to free time activities, most people think of dining out or watching movies.

Making the gift takes up a lot of her free time. “I’m interested in making gifts myself,” the girl in Grade 8, “and I believe my friend will like it very much.” Many Chinese students make gifts instead of buying them. Zhang Lin is one of them. A DIY gift is not only cheaper but also interesting to make and it has a special meaning. Teenagers also make other gifts like bracelets (手链) , Chinese knots. “Gift shops may sell many of them, but any gift you make yourself is unique (独一无二的),” Li Mei, a 16-year-old girl said. She once made a cross-stitch for an American teacher. Her teacher was excited with it. However, not all students are DIY fans.

It is becoming very popular all over the world. In fact, more people are searching for it online than for Hello Kitty, a famous character from Japan. This shows that China is getting better at creating new and interesting things, not just making things in factories. Designers of Pop Mart help mix Western stories with Chinese legends, like the mythical animals (神兽) from old tales. Labubu’s “ugly-cute” design is different from traditional ideas of beauty. Its strange charm makes young people like it because it shows their individuality (个性)。Some people think it looks brave, while others find it comforting. Labubu is more than just a toy. It has become a symbol of self-expression and people like to talk about it. Pop Mart’s marketing is helping Labubu become even more popular. Famous people like David Beckham and K-pop stars have shared pictures of Labubu online. This has made millions of people interested in it. People like to make videos of opening Labubu blind boxes and doing DIY challenges. These blind boxes have surprise figures inside, making shopping fun and exciting. Pop Mart is also helping Labubu become popular in different countries. They have opened stores in famous places and made Labubu look different for each culture. For example, in Thailand, Labubu wears silk costumes for festivals. In Spain, it has bullfighting (斗牛) themes. This makes Labubu a bridge between different cultures. Labubu has shown that it can create something that is not just a product, but a story that people can connect with. Labubu is teaching us that being unique can make a big difference. 1．Why does the writer mention Kitty in paragraph 1? A．To show how to make things. B．To compare the difference between them.

Do-it-yourself projects let you design your house, offer a way to save money, but even with step-by-step instructions, DIY’s don’t always go to plan, nearly 80% of homeowners make a mistake while DIY. Here are four of the biggest mistakes that homeowners often make. Taking on Too Much More than 40% of people find DIY projects more difficult and expensive than they thought. By taking on a task that needs more time or skills than you have, you may end up with a big mess and an unfinished project. “It’s important to think about why you want to DIY and what you’re hoping to get out of it” said Bailey Carson, a home care expert. “If you’re doing it just to save money, you might need to think twice. Without the time, tools, and talent to do it correctly and safely, mistakes may cost you more in the long run than simply paying others to help from the beginning.” ________ A third of people used the wrong tool for a DIY project, which can make the job more difficult and less safe. Many tools are designed for special uses and materials, so if you use them for other tasks, you may get hurt. Always use the proper tools for each project, and make sure you know how to use them. Not Safety First DIY mistakes can not only be costly but also dangerous. Of the survey people who once made a big mistake during their DIY projects, 47% said that the mistake led to serious problems, while 44% started a fire or fell off a roof or ladder. Take your time and follow all safety rules when using tools. Wearing dust masks, safety glasses, hearing protection or gloves to protect yourself. Skipping Important Steps Skipping a key step can end up your whole DIY project and you might not realize it until much later. In the survey, 47% of people said that they had finished a DIY project before realizing it was done wrong. Read all instructions carefully ahead of time, and make sure you have the necessary skills to complete each step before you begin. 1．According to Paragraph 2, people who ________ are suitable for DIY. A．want to save money B．want to save time C．are skillful enough D．are careful enough 2．Which of the following should be put in the blank (横线)? A．Using the wrong tools B．Using the special tools C．Using the expensive tools D．Using the proper tools 3．Why did the writer write this passage? A．To tell us DIY is very dangerous. B．To show DIY can help us save money. C．To tell us the importance of DIY. D．To help us keep away from DIY mistakes.

However, Sara doesn’t think so. She has a few heirlooms. Anyone can buy them in a shop. However, they are special to her because they belonged to her grandmother. After Sara’s grandmother died, her family chose something of hers to keep to remember her. As Sara lived far away, her mother picked things out for her—a tablecloth, a mirror, and an old pot. Sara kept these things, but she didn’t use them much. The tablecloth didn’t fit her tables. She didn’t like the color of the mirror frame (镜框), and the pot was too small and old. Sara’s life changed when she read something in a book: Don’t keep anything in your house that you don’t find useful or beautiful. That’s right. “But what about sentimental (情感的) things like heirlooms? They’re beautiful if they remind us of good times with loved ones,” Sara thought. Sara decided to give these things a fresh start. She painted the mirror frame a different color to go with her daughter’s room. Although Sara’s daughter never met her grandmother, they share a connection through the mirror. Sara bought a table to go with her grandmother’s tablecloth. She also started using her grandmother’s pot. Whenever she cooks with it, Sara thinks of her grandmother making bread long ago. These things, once forgotten, are useful again, bringing together old memories and new stories. 1．What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A．Heirlooms. B．Gold. C．Silver.

D．The meaning of expensive heirlooms. You may want a great activity for your younger brothers or sisters to play outside. Here comes an easy DIY course! Let’s learn to make a boat and then play it in a pool! It is so simple that children can easily make one and then have fun. Let’s start now. Tools 3 corks (软木塞), elastic bands (橡皮筋), colored paper, a stick, glue and scissors Steps Choose three corks. Use a stick to make a hole in the middle of a cork. The cork with the hole should be in the middle. Join them together with two elastic bands. Your boat can be better if you glue the corks before that. Then, cut a sail shape (帆形) and a triangle shape (三角形) out of colored paper. Glue the triangle shape on the top of the stick to make a flag. Make two holes at the top and bottom of the sail shape. Put the stick with the flag through the two holes. Remember to cut away the useless part of the stick so that it will be in the right size. After placing the stick into the hole of the middle cork, the boat is completely done! Your boat is ready to set sail. Tips Your little brothers or sisters should get your help when using scissors. Don’t let children play by the pool on their own. If you want to learn more self-made works, please join our DIY Club! 1．The underlined “that” refers to ________.
