Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes show people how to DIY.English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK“As Englishmans home is his castle”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. More and more people enjoy the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. They like making their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to get together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they cant understand the instructions. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people dont care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew.

A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didnt take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked, Why dont you want the fish? The child replied, “I want the fishing rod (竿) in your hands.” The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod?” “It doesnt take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I wont be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.” I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesnt know how to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. Its useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod. Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod” in their life, they will no longer fear the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.58.Why did the child refuse(拒绝) the fish the old man gave her?A. Because she didnt like fish. B. Because she wanted his fishing rodC. Because the old man had few fish. D.

The Fishing Rod B. The Fishing ManC. The Fishing Girl D. The fishing ExperienceDYou may feel curious(好奇的) about students in other countries: Do they also have so much homework? What do they do in their free time?On April 8, a report came out on the life of high school students in China, Japan, South Korea and the US. It surveyed around 6,200 students from the four countries last year. You will find the answers to many of your questions in this report.Who studies hardest?Chinese students spend the most time studying.
